Amy's

I know that Amy's has had cc issues...but I was wondering if anyone got sick from their gluten-free frozen mac and cheese? I have eaten it a few times since going gluten-free (about 4 weeks ago) with no problem and then I ate it yesterday (and nothing else was suspect) and I was so sick this morning and I have been feeling really terrible all day. I'm really careful and there was nothing else suspect in the last few days.

I'm addicted to Amy's mac and cheese, and so far I've never had a reaction to it.

Sounds like you got a 'winning' roll on the roulette wheel. I ate a lot of this companies food for the first couple of years and ran in to the same sort of thing. I now pretty much avoid their products because of the CC risk. Myself I don't like to play roulette and although the convience was great it just isn't worth the risk to me. I am just way to sensitive to CC issues.

I didn't get sick from the actual food but, my brain got sick when I checked the fat content! I have been gluten-free since Jan. and have been eating these frozen meals as go to's and not checking the fat content-I figured they didn't get me sick, are vegetarian so... well-live and learn! Back to basics for me!

-can't believe I have been gluten-free almost 2 months! (it does get easier, as you all said!)

I wanted to add, I can't tolerate the Amy's enchiladas. However, I don't know if it's due to CC or because the food is extremely greasy!

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
