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.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      @pilber309, as knittykitty pointed out, lactose intolerance is not the only issue with dairy in celiac community. Lactose intolerance has to do with the sugar component of dairy, lactose. However, some celiacs react to a protein fraction in dairy, namely, casein, like they do gluten.

      Can You Really Trust Gluten-Free Menus? What Every Celiac Needs to Know Before Eating Out

      Over the last 3+ years I've had very good experiences with waitstaff being very knowledgeable about celiac in some chain and other restaurants. Some good news: I recently verified that Jack in the Box has separate fryers for breaded food and their French fries. I've had their S/W chicken salad (grilled), fries and TONS of their tacos with no ill effects...

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      It could well be a new intolerance developing. Does your diet incorporate pure oats i.e. those safe for coeliac consumption? I find I can only tolerate a certain amount, same goes for dairy in fact, then I start to get gastric symptoms. Or have you started consuming a new type of gluten-free bread, or more gluten-free bread than normal, that might contain...

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      By pilber309 · Posted

      I eat a lot of dairy but its intermittent is this burning so I would assume it would happen all the time. Plus I have been tested for lactose intolerance  etc and I am fine and the other symptoms of that I don't get. As a aside  my dad died last month after a long illness so I wonder if the stress of that might be a influence as a bodily reaction to stress.
