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.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

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

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
