Guess Who Got Glutened!

Yep, I got Glutened by an Amy's gluten-free/DF spinach Pizza. It was really mild compared to the Great Cheerio Incident (I hadn't been diagnosed yet) but still, I am laying on the couch with an upset stomach now.

Is it possible that it wasn't the pizza and just that I am still adjusting to the diet?

Either way, lime gatorade and rice cakes seem to be my best friends right now :P

Luckily kid is in bed and husband is flying so I am able to wallow on my own.

Amy's doesn't have a very good reputation for their gluten free foods. I won't touch them personally. Too many peopl have gotten sick from them, myself included.

It was definitely the pizza. I've eaten Amy's twice since going gluten free and I was glutened (badly) once.

Amy makes food on shared lines, and though they clean them and test to make sure they're below the 20ppm required to label foods 'gluten-free' their food isn't by any means safe, especially for the more sensitive celiacs.

I was telling my husband, even if they clean it between every gluten/non gluten thing, all it takes is ONE person having a bad day and slacking off and suddenly there's a bunch of celiacs sick lol.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy!

My sweet sweet mother bought be some Gluten free "mini" muffins, should be Micro , they were tiny ! Anyway I forgot who the manufacturer is. So I was working on the road today and decided to try ! WRONG ! i swear it felt like 5 minutes after it hit my gut the gas bloating and cramps started ! Scary part is in addition to saying Gluten Free on the package it also saied- SUGER FREE, 1 NET CARB... So if they are wrong about the gluten what about diabetic patients what will it do to them ! :blink:

I bought one of those and ate half last Wednesday (and I was pissed off because I'd meant to grab the one with dairy cheese and didn't realize my mistake until I got home). I'd been CC'd at a restaurant earlier that day and was already feeling lousy. If there's a bad batch of those pizzas out there, that explains why I had the worst gluten migraine yet for 3 days straight- and why it got worse after I ate the pizza. I was confused because I don't usually get that sick with a minor CC incident.

Rats. Pizza crust is the only thing I haven't figured out how to make well. Back to square one.

Another possibility is that you are intolerant to soy. That pizza is loaded with it. I mention this because it took me literally years to realize that many of the gluten-free foods that I thought had CC'd me had soy and it wasn't the CC that was an issue it was my intolerance to soy.

I have extreme reactions to sugar free things. Sugar alcohols go right through me. So that may have played a part too.

Kinnikinik (I spelled that wrong) makes AWESOME pizza crusts, they're frozen and my toddler AND husband ate it ALL. I had to make more for me lol. No reactions, and very tasty. Hope that helps your pizza dilemma!

OH YEAH and that other Amy's pizza I had in the freezer? I fed it to my toddler. He thought he was super special and it made his day when really he was just getting rid of it for mommy :P

Thanks for the recommendation! There are a couple of stores near work that carry those. I'll have to check them out SOON.

Also, if your store has it, try the Against the Grain brand of pizza crusts. They're more expensive, but they're WORTH IT. I think the Kinikinnick are also very good, but find them to be a bit sweet, which works well if you top with spicy stuff or make a dessert pizza.

Oh, awesome! According to the website, my food co-op carries the Against the Grain products (as does one of the stores that carries the Kinnikinnick line). Thanks for the recommendation.

Also, the baguette, when split in half and toasted/baked with garlic butter on top, makes BANGIN garlic bread, just like the stuff you're used to. Just put the garlic butter on top before you bake, not after, or else the baguette dries up and gets hard.

With regard to Amy's, for years I've heard of ppl feeling CC'd by Amy's Frozen Food products, but not the rest.

I can't remember anyone w/ a problem w/ Amy's soups or chili.

Even *I* can eat one of the chili varieties. (I'm practically whole alphabet-free, much more than I list at bottom)

If you decide to try making it again, try this one:

I can't find sweet rice flour where I live, so I simply added more brown rice flour. That was the other thing I did different from the recipe, was used brown rice flour instead of white. It was nearly the best pizza crust I've ever had, and even non-g.f. hubby thought so, too. I say "nearly" the best because next time I make it, I'll probably make two thin crusts instead of one thick, as we like thin crust better. But even with thick crust, the flavor was so good!

Gluten Free Pantry French Bread and Pizza mix! Best yummiest pizza crust. I spray my hands with oil so I can pat it down flat. I use a chunk for a small piza for myself and bake the rest into a loaf of bread.

Udi's makes fabulous products - their pizza crust is great. Better than kinnikinnik's. Super-soft cinnimon rolls. And bagels that taste good straight from the bag - no toasting required. I hope you can find some of these products where you live.

I heart Udi's.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

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

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
