Amy's Gluten Free Spinach Pizza

Forgive me if this has recently been discussed. I just ate part of this pizza tonight, and I feel SO bloated and nauseous. It didn't even taste that great to begin with. Anyone else have this issue with this kind of pizza? Anyone have a good premade frozen pizza brand they can recommend? Or even crusts/dough? I made a pizza with Glutino pizza crusts a couple of years ago, and they were just plain disgusting. Dunno if that's changed since then or not.

Amy's products seem to have a CC risk. I use Kinnickinnick shells, 4 to a $9 package, and keep Hormel pepperoni on hand. When I feel like a 'do it yourself' fresh crust to me you can't beat Gluten Free Pantries French Bread mix. It makes a great deep dish crust once you get used to spreading it with a spacula.

It made me sick but I'm pretty sure it was just because it is a HORRIBLE excuse for a pizza :)

I've been a celiac for 7 years and I stopped eating Amy's 7 years ago :) They just have always made me feel crappy and honestly, never really have made the effort to make their product any more delicious!

To me, Udi's has the best pizza crust, and it's so easy to make your own.

Amy's has never bothered me and I consider myself very sensitive.

And to be honest, I find it hard to believe that Amy's products are making other people sick. I'm not saying that they aren't - I'm just saying I find it hard to believe that someone could be THAT sensitive. I

n the end, you gotta do what works for you, so if makes you feel like poop, just don't eat it. It might not be the gluten in there, if there is any, that's making you feel sick. Could very well be some other ingredient. Unfortunately (and I guess fortunately) everyone's different.

You find it hard to believe that Amy's makes other people sick?? There are a ton of threads on this website that confirms just that. Sorry, but I don't typically come on this site and lie about getting sick from a product, that would serve no purpose. Be careful with how you say things on this board, perhaps you weren't trying to offend, but the very nature of your post accuses many others of being liars.

That was the first product I purchased when I went gluten free... it was almost enough to send me packing. It is disgusting.

If you live near a Sprouts, they carry fresh gluten free pizza. It is a personal size with light sauce, light cheese and 8 minutes in the toaster oven and it is crisp and delicious - only 3.99. Ok... it's not quite Dominoes.... but it is yummo!

My daughter has had issues with Amy's, too, yeah. Not all the time - and she's tried multiple products. We finally had to give them up, though. she might be fine for 2-3 times in a row, and then the next time she'd be very sick. It wasn't worth the risk for us.

Kinnickinick worked the best for my daughter, out of all of them, although we didn't try that many (never tried udi's)

I just bought and ate some amy's cheese pizza last night. It was my first time buying a gluten free product and have only been gluten free for 5 days since my endoscopy. I didn't mind the taste and was excited to be able to eat pizza.

Big mistake!!! An hour later my stomach started hurting and hasn't stopped for 18 hrs!!

I wonder if it's something about just the pizza. I eat the Amy's "TV dinners" very often (seriously, I've starve if I didn't). Just had one of the teriyaki bowls today, and I eat the cheese enchiladas and the tamale verde a lot and never have issues. I'm thinking the crusts are on the same conveyor belt as the non-gluten-free ones and it doesn't get cleaned well enough. Or maybe the gluten flour is still in the air. I dunno.

Amy's is out for me. I ate her stuff pre-gluten and had no problems. Once I went gluten free I got very sick (it was not pizza) and haven't touched it since.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
