Amy's Was Okay, Got Diarrhea, Thought Nothing Of It. Then This.

Amy's was okay and has been a pretty staple frozen food provider for a while for me, for the most part she still is.

Here is a list of products sold by her that have over hundreds consumed and no gluten reaction to date

  • Sante Fe Bowl
  • Cheese Enchilada
  • Bistro Burger

And recently, I have had diahrrea not once but 3 times from Gluten Free Non Dairy Mac N Cheese. I thought, hmm it must be an ingredient right?

Well that wasn't even the worst, recently I tried the Gluten Free Non Dairy Burrito's, instantly I became stupid, you know celiac stupid.

Then I came down with flu like symptoms, stomach pains, etc. And that was the only thing I aten in an entire 12 hour period. It was terrible, I felt like I ate literally nothing at all and it was sitting there in my stomach like a rock.

I don't know what is going on with Amy's products but they seriously are inconsistent and need to be re-examined and re-thought as being gluten free.

I also would like to help everybody out by saying I have reacted to Cheeto's, Lay's Salt n Vinegar, and Reeses Pieces.

I stay away from Amy's. I have always had a reaction to anything I eat of hers. :(

I agree with txplowgirl. A lot of us have issues with Amy's products. I can't eat anything made my Lays except Stax. I eat Kettle Brand chips and Stax. I have had problems with Hershey's too. These foods are gluten free, I just think that they have cross contamination issues. Some of us are more sensitive than others.

You spoke like you where me, I can't eat a single piece of Hershey's and Lay's gives me problems.

Did anybody tell Amy about this? I would think she would want to know.

I have the same issue! Almost time I eat Amy’s frozen meals! Especially the Veggie Loaf, the Chinese Noodles, the Pad Thai, and any Mac & Cheese except the boxed (non-frozen) kind. I was starting to think it was some other ingredient because the ones I eat all say they are gluten-free. But if it isn’t gluten, what could it be??

While I don't have any bad reactions to Amy's products, But I do have severe reactions to Pamela's products.  While I love her many wonderful foods, the terrible diarrhea and stomach pains make it so not worth it for me.  I'm doing much better on low sugar and low carbs while not completely Keto. Seems like Celiac disease reactions affect each individual differently, and it's still a great mystery even though we all avoid gluten like the plague.

Because these are processed foods, you could be reacting to any ingredient.  For example, I am a celiac who despite having healed, still has intolerances to garlic and Xanthan Gum.

You have that right!  Simply going gluten free may not be enough to feel well.  So many people have intolerances to other foods that may or may not resolve with healing.  There is no “one-size-fits-all” gluten free diet.

I'm not sure the reactions to Amy's are related to gluten. I have searched online to find if others have a reaction because I have been in denial that it is Amy's soups upsetting my stomach, so glad to find this page. My mind says these are all good ingredients, so why stomach rumbles, etc? I don't have ANY eating intolerance, I can eat any foods any time of the day or night and have no digestion problems, but Amy's soups especially the Spanish one, but some others too are so not right. I've bought loads of her soups in the pandemic and still have around 12 tins in the cupboard. They may have to go to the food bank. :( Maybe someone with iron constitution can handle this. I thought I did have an iron constitution - but something's wrong here....

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
