Amy's Rice Crust Pizza


Heather's Mom

Recommended Posts

Heather's Mom Newbie

I need some feedback on Amy's rice crust pizza. My daughter may be getting some hidden gluten somewhere so I am re-evaluating our eating habits. We usually have an Amy's pizza once a week or so. Even with the gluten free claim on the box it is listed on the back that it is manufactured in the same facility at wheat.

Comments? Experiences?

Thanks!

I have had an immediate reaction to Amy's rice crust pizza before.

A lot of people have had reactions to Amy's products.

i'm starting to think that i had a reaction to this as well.

i used to break out (like zits) all over my chin area. this has pretty much gone away after going gluten-free but earlier this week i had amy's pizza. the next day i had the zits everywhere. this is the only thing i can think of i have eaten this week that could be causing it OR it's from the crazy humidity DC had earlier in the week.

I won't even buy it because I've seen so many posts on here about people having reactions to it. :ph34r:

I eat the rice crust pizza at least once a month without problem. Same with all Amy's products. For me, the concerns are unfounded.

Amy's is testing and keeping their gluten-free pizza below 20 ppm level. This is OK for most folks but not everyone.

If you think she's reacting, try going to a different brand like Glutino. They make both pizza crusts and small gluten-free frozen pizzas. Glutino makes all their products in a dedicated facility, they stay under 10ppm, and I haven't heard people complain as much about getting CC'd from their foods.

Hmmm... Daughter has been having weird zits. They're there one day and the next her face will be clear without us having done anything. We generally eat this pizza on Sundays, but last week we had Garlic Jim's and I occasionally make it with Ener-G crust. I will have to keep an eye on that!

Try the Kinnickkinnick crusts. They are made in a dedicated plant and you get 4 to a box for a bit under $10. Add in the toppings, I freeze leftover pizza sauce as one can is to much for one pizza, and you have a good quick pizza meal for less than 5 dollars. With some of the other crusts I just cringe at paying over 6 dollars for just one small crust or tiny personal pizza so had refused to even try them. I also avoid Amy's products.

I had an immediate reaction to Amy's...wound up covered in hives the rest of the night. I'll never buy Amy's products again.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
