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.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
