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.

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next.

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..
