It says gluten-free as big as life on it but on the back it talks about cross contaimation with wheat. Then how come they can say it's gluten-free? that seems odd to me

1) Because there are no laws that define what "gluten-free" means. So, a product labeled as gluten-free is not guaranteed to be gluten-free. It is against the law for the food companies to lie to us, but until a definition for "gluten-free" is put into law we have to contact the companies that make the food and go from there. 2) Amy's might test their products labeled gluten-free to ensure they are truly gluten-free, in-spite of the potential for cross contamination, but you would need to contact them to find out.

When I buy processed foods, I only buy foods that are certified gluten-free by Open Original Shared Link, unless I have recently (within the past 6-months) spoken to the food company and confirmed the gluten-free stats of the food to my satisfaction.

If you do contact Amy's, let us know what they say.

Amy's voluntarily follows the proposed federal guideline of 20 ppm. Their foods like pot pie and pizza are made in a shared facility. If you're sensitive, you don't want to be eating Amy's.

Definitely not. Too bad, I remember it being tasty but kept getting nailed simply by their TOMATO sauce!

Just because it says that there is risk of cross contamination does not make something NOT gluten free. The ingrediants listed in Amy's allow them to claim gluten free per the FDA regulations. I do know however that many people, myself included, get sick from Amy's. I haven't eaten their products in years but they are, by nature, gluten free.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
