Amy's

I was so proud of myself for getting this product to microwave at work, but then I noticed that while the meal is made with "no gluten ingredients," it's made in a factory where wheat is processed. So has anyone eaten an Amy's meal and had a reaction?

Thanks!

Some people react to Amy's, some don't.

I have had many reactionst to Amy's and no longer eat their food. They said they can't guarantee that cc isn't a problem. I chose not to eat things that are produced in the same facility as wheat because I usually get sick.

Carla is right, so people eat Amy's stuff all the time and don't get sick.

If you are just starting out I would stay with naturally gluten-free foods like meats, fruiits and veggies anyway to give your system time to heal. You can experiment later when you are feeling better.

Yeah, you'll Have to make that choice yourself. Amy’s was going to move the pizza and I think the mac and cheese (?) to a gluten-free facility though. Not sure when that happened, or is going to happen. I do eat Amy’s on occasion and have never had any issues.

I checked on this. I thought the new facility was supposed to be gluten-free but it isn't. They have some sort of a covered area where they make the gluten-free stuff so no gluten in the air can get into that area. I thought that would be good enough but they said they don't consider that a gluten-free facility. If they don't consider it a gluten-free area, then I'm not willing to take another chance on them yet.

I always have some Amy's Mac 'n Cheese on hand in the freezer for those times when I get too hungry and need to eat something fast. I have noticed that I don't always feel great after eating one though. It's hit and miss. I thought it was made in a gluten-free facility! Now I know why I feel yucky sometimes after eating one. :angry: I don't think I want to risk it anymore.

This is the only of Amy's products that I have ever had a hard time w/. I was also taking antibiotics, but I got very violently ill about an hour after eating the shepherd pie. I would recommend everyone stay away from it. I just at the cheese enchiladas today for lunch. THey're pretty good. Never reacted to them. Or the pizza, which I love, or the mac and cheese. That's my advice :)

I tried 3 different times to eat Amy's stuff- I got sick each time. So now I leave it alone.

I've always been okay wiht the mac and cheese and the rice crust pizza.

But I had a burrito or enchilada or something one other time and it made me really sick.

I eat the cheese enchilada's with black beans and corn at least once a week at work. I add a little extra cheese. So far I have never had a problem. Tried the veggie brown rice bowl. I personally didn't like it. The mushrooms smelled and tasted "too earthy" to me, like eating dirt. YUCK!

I've eaten tons of Amy's (used to take it for lunch everyday). Mexican casserole is my favorite, shepherds pie stinks. I have not had any problems, it may be I'm not quite as sensitive to traces. It's still a fall back staple ofr me. I keep a few in my freezer for those nights I need to eat but can't bring myself to cook.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      Probiotics

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
