I made some risotto last night and added some of their gluten-free onion soup to it and had the typical symptoms- insomnia, soaking night sweats and nausea. Has anyone had cross-contamination problems with them before? I feel yucky!

I have never had issue with their soup before. However, if I remember correctly (sorry if I am off) you are very sensitive? I am sensitive but I can have some products that you cannot, like nut thins (that is if my memory is right and that is very shaky these days). Is there a cya statement about wheat in their facility?

PS-Sorry you are sick, feel better soon!

HEZ!!!!! Hey there- yes, Ii am very sensitive. Here's their statement:As part of our overall quality program, we have a food safety procedure designed to prevent the cross contamination between products that contain gluten that are run in the same production line as gluten free products. We include the following in our protocol.

1. Before any product can be run in the plant, all ingredients need to be identified for gluten or allergens.

2. Suppliers are required to submit gluten free statements.

3. All ingredients are kept in their own allotted space and well marked in the warehouse. Ingredients containing gluten are kept separately from gluten-free ingredients.

4. All equipment shall be thoroughly cleaned prior to running gluten free product.

5. All Plant employees are trained for control and prevention of allergen and gluten contamination when they are first hired and annually.

Sounds pretty good, but you never know. :(

Nut thins and Amy's has a decent protocol as well and you still got glutened. Could it be anything else or was the only thing? Hopefully, you are feeling better and will have a good night's rest.

I haven't had a problem with them - but I did almost buy an item that I thought was gluten-free from them but was not.

Sorry you aren't feeling well. I have had problems with Amy's in the past - to the point that I just stopped eating any of her products all together - but with cross contamination in even small amounts I tend to get sick.

No probs with Pacific's Soups, though.

Hmmmm.............

Yeah- I had ginger frozen yogurt from a small company which I contacted and they have the same protocol for cleaning the equipment as Amy's (which unfortunately still made me sick!) so I think I have my answer.

FYI....Amy's rice crust pizza and gluten-free mac and cheese are now made in a dedicated facility!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I still can't eat 'em because I can't tolerate soy :P But I do cheat on the legume thing occasionally. Had an Amy's pizza awhile back and voila...NO REACTION! I was so happy!

Hi Bev :D

Sorry you got sick--the only Pacific soup I use is the Free Range/Organic Chicken Broth. I use it often, and have not had any problems.

I am very sensitive and I use Pacific soups all the time and I have never had a problem. I don't ususally eat things that are produced on the same lines as gluten so I'm pretty sure I would have researched them and found them to be safe. I know you posted the guidelines for dealing with cc.

Hope you feel better.

Thanks. I do feel better- I am 99% sure it was the yogurt. Small companies are harder because they tend to have fewer production lines. :(

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
