that processes wheat, et al. I am new to all of this, but it's my understanding that gluten free means they cannot process with foods containing wheat. Someone please help explain. Thank you!

Amy's does not say "gluten free", it says No Gluten is added. It means that there is a change for cross contamination during processing, due to other products they make that do contain gluten.

In these times, gluten free would be a wild apple you picked from a tree.

Except that if you go to their website, it states that the enchiladas are gluten free and that's when I got confused. I did notice that the box says no gluten ingredients so I went to the website to confirm.

Yeah, I am starting to learn that. Thanks. :)

Processing in the same facility or on the same line doesn't necessarily make a product not gluten-free. It's more about the manufacturing practices of the company and the steps they take to prevent cross contamination. Most companies that label their products as gluten-free test the products to determine if there is any gluten present and label based on that. There isn't a standard yet but the presence of 20PPM or less of gluten is generally considered gluten-free. However, some celiacs are very sensitive and find that 20PPM is too much to handle so you'll have to test yourself and determine which products work for you.

Thanks, Janet. I appreciate the response. This is for my 9-year old son and I haven't figured out what he can really tolerate - he hasn't learned to talk about it much yet. Work in progess... :)

Not so far in the past, all of Amy's products said "gluten free" - I guess they haven't corrected their website yet.

You might also find that statement on other products as a CYA statement. You just have to weight that decision to see if it's right for you to consume those products.

There are some Amy's products that say "gluten free" on the box-ie rice mac and cheese, and some that say "no gluten ingredients" -rice lasagna. We don't buy the ones that say "no gluten ingredients" and have never had an issue. My dd is super sensitive and has never had a reaction.

Other members have pointed out that fact that "any" place where there is gluten is a "shared facility" - i.e., many people's kitchens are "shared facilities."

Amy's practices really strict cross contamination practices.

I recently had one of Amy's no gluten added or gluten free (didnt check) Mexican casserole bowl. I am extremely sensitive and I did have a reaction. I hadnt tried Amys for about 6 months, I used to eat her pretty regularly but started having a reactions to her products more and more the longer I was gluten-free. I wish I didnt, becasue sometimes it is handy having a prepared meal.

I stopped eating Amy's products after having a reaction 2 times in a row. I know a lot of people were having problems with her products for awhile. I'm not willing to try a 3rd time.

I had some problems with Amy's so I stick with the rice crust pizza. That and her gluten-free mac n cheese are made in a dedicated facility. I have NEVER had a problem with it (haven't tried the mac n cheese). :D

I was reacting to the enchiladas, but it turns out I can't eat bell peppers. So sad, cause they are nummy.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick.

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
