Amy's Cheese Enchilada Not Gluten Free

It is important to note that Amy's Cheese enchilda states that no gluten is contained but does "not" claim to be gluten free for good reason. I'm very sick 20 mins. after eating this product, be sure to stick to the dinners they make that say "Gluten Free"... In lots of pain right now. :(

I just ate one yesterday with no problems. I'm lactose intolerant so I took a Lactaid before eating but no gluten reaction.

Amy's products seem to have issues with CC. I used to eat them frequently and sometimes they would be fine and others they would get me.

I think I would have said the same thing ten years ago, but after going 100% gluten-free for many years now I know in the past what I thought was gluten free

I've had two of Amy's dinners since going free. One was fine. The other resulted in my worst glutening ever (I felt like I was about to die.) I'll never touch them again unless they go to dedicated gluten-free lines and equipment.

It might be good to contact the company and get their policy and procedure information.

Some of us react to lower levels of gluten than others. I appreciate the warning.

I contacted Amy's awhile back specifically about their enchilada packaging. I was told that they switched to the "no gluten ingredients" when the legal definition of "gluten free" was hot and heavy but the level wasn't set and the law wasn't written. They said they didn't want to get stuck with a bunch of packages they couldn't use if the law had something in it they couldn't do. They said nothing had changed and from their perspective there as absolutely no difference between "gluten free" and "no gluten ingredients used." As we all know, the law/federal guideline still hasn't happened.

I would recommend anyone concerned with the labeling or CC with Amy's call them directly and find out for themselves what their policy and practices are.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      No, Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD. I take both of these and a B Complex.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine.

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Glutened

      By Oliverg · Posted

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks
