Has anyone else reacted to Amy's Rice Pizza? I had one last night and it was so good. I added veggies and a little more sauce and thought I was in heaven. Then I sat down to watch Survivor and the @$#% hit the fan. What a nasty reaction! I wonder if it is because they make regular pizzas in the same facility or if it was a reaction to the soy or cheese they use?

I've never seen anything except the Plain Cheese Rice pizza from Amy's. I know that one is good. Can you check the box again and call the company?

Feel better soon!

You might want to check on that extra sauce you added. It could have been gluten containing. I eat Amy's all the time and haven't had any trouble with the rice crust pizza. Just a thought!

I had a nasty reaction to what I thought was a safe sauce. I would check and make sure it is on the "safe" list. Amys is good, I ate the whole thing by myself!

I added Ragu pizza sauce, trader joe's roasted peppers (on their gluten free list) and fresh onions and hormel turkey pepperoni (says gluten-free on the package). It was so good and I got so bummed... Maybe it was the cheese or soy reacting on me and not gluten...

I haven't had hers - I may have mispoken on the brand in the past - but have had no problems with Nature's Highlights rice crust, to which I add my own sauce and toppings.

i had amy's pizza last night. and added pesto and olives!! i had no reaction at all.

could it have been a delayed reaction of something else you ate earlier in the day? I dont think it would be the cheese, my doctor said even lacto intolerent people can usually eat cheese and yogurt .

Natures Highlights pizza crusts have been fine with me. I've never reacted to them. My problem is cooking them on the oven rack and then getting them off. I keep spilling sauce all over the oven. Any advice? Can I put it on a stone or cookie sheet? I bought some Chebe pizza crust mix today so I will try that next. I made a quiche with cooked rice mixed with egg whites for the crust and it was delicious. I'm thinking that would be a good pizza and I did like Angel's hash brown pizza crust a lot too. I'll keep at it.

Definitely always cook pizza's on a baking stone! :-) You can get a set that has a stone and a paddle together.

Terri,

What Soy? There is no soy in the gluten-free Rice Cheese pizza by Amy's. She does make a soy cheese pizza, but the crust is not rice/gluten-free it's a regular pizza crust with soy cheese.

I think the box listed soy or soybeans as an ingredient. I threw the box away though. Today I bought a pizza stone and am going to try the Chebe pizza mix this weekend. Wish me luck!

Don't forget to cycle the pizza stone in your oven (without anything on it) first... I think most of the commercial stones (if you didn't just get a big block from the hardware store) have that instruction on them, but you're supposed to put them in a cold oven, turn it up to 450F or something like that, and leave it in for an hour, as I recall...

Thanks! Mine didn't come with that instruction. It said to heat it for fifteen minutes before putting the pizza on it. So I will bake it an hour first, like you said, then make the pizza. :D

Is Amy's pretty good? I have tried several pizza crusts now and they all have this sweet taste to them that I loathe... help me, I am about ready to eat Tombstone... having a lot of trouble lately, really miss pizza and sandwiches.... :(

My son was missing these little pizza rollups we used to eat (made with pillsbury crescent rolls) so we invented a new kind that are actually very easy and good -- we use _pie crust_ (Miss Roben's), cut it into big squares and make pizza turnovers. (I suppose they are calzones, really) If you roll the dough between plastic, and then use the plastic to fold them up, it's not too tricky. They freeze well, and nuke well too! We were so proud

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
