What Is Up With Annie's?

Hi there!

I remeber somone else asking this a while back and was wondering if there was any resolution. What is up with Amy's brand saying "gluten free" and then siting that the product is made in the same facility/ equipment as wheat products. I feel like it's physically impossible for it to be gluten free! It did not say that the product was tested for gluten level or anything else. The product in question was their black refried beans. I think I'm going to write and inquire-- as if our lives arent confusing enough!

Has anyone gotten sick or had experiences with Amy's?

Sorry for the "Annie's" in the title-- it wont let me edit it out. I meant Amy's (no coffee today :-))

Can I ask if you mean "Annie's" or "Amy's"? I've never seen beans in a can from "Annie's".

I think I had problems with Annie's burgers. They are made in a facility that processes wheat.

Annie's Rice Pasta & Cheddar is produced in a completely wheat- and gluten-free facility.

Gluten/Wheat? NO - no gluten ingredients used at the facility.

I stopped buying all Amy's products. They used to be nice to take for lunch when I had to grab something quick and didn't have leftovers to take to work. But every time I ate them, I felt bad immediately afterwards. I teach, and twice I had to leave the classroom, grab a colleague to watch the class, and make it to the restroom quickly. I noticed they started out saying gluten-free, then many went to No Gluten Added which makes me very suspicious. Too bad, because they actually taste pretty good.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
