I hope they still sell it. It disappeared off the shelves of a store I was buying it from also.

You can also buy it by the case off annies.com if you have a hard time getting it in your area. I did that when no stores around me carried it. I still have some boxes left.

yeah, its weird. I've looked everywhere. Publix, another supermarket, a Whole Foods, a health food store and I couldn't find it! I ocntacted Amy's but it'll probably be a while till I receive a response. I have no idea why they might discontinue it. Its such a seller where I live. It is sometimes hard to get a hold of it but that's because it sells out so quickly!!

I haven't been able to find this for a while either!! I thought it was just sold out the first 2 times I looked for it, but now I am thinking different. Wonder if they discontinued it? I would hope not, it was one of the best meals that Amy's made! DS loves it!! We have been getting Glutino's frozen mac & cheese in it's place, but it isn't as good. I will ask the woman who stocks the gluten-free stuff at my store next time I am in and let you all know if I find anything out.

i've seen it at walmart, but would not recommend getting it. the last two times i ate it, i got very glutened. they no longer say "gluten free" on Amy's products. I personally don't eat them any more. Glutinos isn't AS good, but it still is pretty good, that's what I get now, or I make my own.

They either have stopped stocking it at the Whole Foods in Los Angeles or at least have not had a new shipment in awhile. I used to get it all the time and they couldnt keep it on the shelf. It was really popular, I cannot believe they would discontinue it.

Glutino makes one also but its a bit more difficult to find.

I sent an email and received a reply~!!

Thanks for taking the time to contact us. We are indeed still making

this meal. But we discovered that our rice pasta supplier had changed

the thickness of the pasta...which caused the meal to be "gummy" when

microwaved. Obviously, this was not up to our standards so after a huge

search for a new pasta supplier ... our new pasta will arrive sometime

this week. So by late April you should once again see our Rice Mac and

Cheese meal in your store freezer.

I am sorry for the inconvenience this must have caused. Please send us

your mailing address and I would be happy to send you our brochure, a

list of our gluten free meals...and a free coupon for the trouble this

has caused.

Thanks for your patience and support. We appreciate it.

Best regards,

Customer Relations

I asked about it at my whole foods and was told they found out batches were contaminated [not gluten-free] and are trying to fix the problem, the man said they had to send what they had back.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
