I am just curious if anyone has had reactions to these products. I am pretty sure I have had a reactions to Maple Leaf hot dogs and I think I had a gluten reaction to Amy's Soups. I have not personally had Old Dutch chips or Healthy Choice since going gluten free. Thanks.

I had another one, but the poll wouldn't let me add any more:

Healthy Choice Soups

Yes

No

I had a reaction, but it was to something other than gluten (please indicate)

I have not had this product

Maybe

Amy's - definitely. Tested and retested because there are a couple of their products that I loved . But I got the worst glutening I have ever had from their products. Three times.

The first time, I figured I must have glutened myself somehow. The second time I tried another product thinking maybe it was just a product specific CC problem. The third time was after I waited for several months and re-tried the first product again.

That was enough for me not to trust any of their products. It's just not worth the two weeks of recovery.

I haven't had any of the other products.

There's been a lot of discussions on here regarding Amy's gluten-free status, which is why I haven't tried them yet.

I had a giant black hair in my Healthy Choice product years ago and I was so grossed out I haven't tried them again.

I don't eat hot dogs, so I can't help you there.

I'm unsure if I reacted to Old Dutch since the last time I tried them was in the early stages of being gluten-free.

I would be turned off from their products after I found hair too ;)

I have not had Healthy Choice soups.

I am in a process of trying gluten-free diet to see if it makes any of my symptoms better and I eat a lot of Amy's products. I tend to eat Amy's Shepherd's pie (labeled gluten-free) 2x week. I should probably reconsider eating it now :(

I couldn't answer about any other than the Amy's. Eating that companys food is like playing roulette, same as many other companys that make stuff that is not gluten-free along with gluten-free food.

Healthy Choice I would not touch. Not worth the risk. The company that makes it makes so little gluten-free food that I would never touch the few items they do make. I prefer to safe rather than sorry. If I want soup I use HerbOx bullion (gluten and MSG free) and throw in a few veggies and Thai Kitchen rice noodles.

Edit: I was thinking of a different brand not 'Healthy Choice' I don't know what the CC risk would be with them.

Occasionally I buy Healthy Choice pasta sauce but not the soup. I'm not sure I've ever seen Healthy Choice soup. We don't usually get Old Dutch chips, and never buy Amy's.

With regards to Maple Leaf, we get the Top Dog hot dogs as it's the only gluten-free hot dog I've ever encountered. Ty's asymptomatic, so that doesn't help you, but I'm pretty sure that they contain soy. I wonder if that might be the problem.

I have been eating hot dogs quite a bit, and I've checked 3 or 4 different labels looking for gluten and not found any gluten.. i think. I have changed to all beef ones after reading the labels....

Could I just be missing something.. what's the gluten containing ingredent?

Nancy,

What Amy's products did you have reaction to?

The one I had twice was the Black Bean and Vegetable Enchiladas, the one I had once was the Shepherd's Pie.

This was many months ago, so I'm not sure if I was just unlucky or if they have a real problem. I'm just not brave enough to try them again.

I'm from Canada where we sprinkle wheat on everything. Gotta support the farmers. :P

All y'all from south of the 49th have LOTS of hot dogs to choose from.

Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it :)

I never reacted to Amy's shepard's pie or the enchilada thingy, but I am pretty sure I had some sort of reaction to their soups and chili

I reacted very badly to the black bean and vegatable enchiladas and the black bean chili. This was back in Jan.

Amy's really sounds like it is hit or miss. I guess I have been lucky eating their frozen dinners.

Amy's tomato pasta sauces are the suspect for me- too scared to try them again.

I am just so tempted to eat Amy's sometimes...

Maybe it's because the Amy's products you've had are cross contaminated. The Shepherd's Pie isn't, I've had it with no problems, but that's just me. Amy's soups are made in a facility that processes wheat, along with the meal entrees.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy. Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy....

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

I just wish doctors understood. I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      Insomnia help

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.
