Frustrated!

I had some delicious Good Karma Rice Dream frozen dessert last night (Banana Fudge flavor!) and when I read the label, I discovered WAAYYY down on it: Soy Protein! ARRRGHH! Why do they do that?? :angry:

We finally find something that's non-dairy & gluten-free, & tastes close to ice cream, & they go & mess it up by adding soy to it too!

Any suggestions on similar products that are gluten/casein/soy/egg free? Besides an ice cube?

Thanks!

Eek! I just looked it up because I've bought the carrot cake kind for my daughter before and don't recall her getting sick from it. But sure enough... Soy protein! I wonder if this is something new that they recently added?

Some sorbets are free of dairy, gluten and soy. We get Sorbetto. It's locally made so might not be available everywhere. Dell Monte now has shelf stable sorbet. It's located by the applesauce and canned fruit. You do have to freeze it before you eat it though.

Can't get the Coconut Bliss here. I've tried. They can't produce enough of it to supply the demand. Dangit.

Oh I know, it's absolutely so frustrating!! I liked the Carob Almond by Rice Dream. The last container I bought, did not list soy lecithin on there. On the website, it now lists it as an ingredient. Sooo, I called them, to see if they either A) reformulated, or B) always had it in there and never listed it. The response was...well, horrible. The guy (James) couldn't tell me if it did, or did not contain soy. After he put me on hold for about 10 minutes, he came back just to tell me what I already told him; there is a discrepancy between what is listed on the carton, and what is listed on the website. (the whole reason I was calling!) He then told me, by law, they have to list soy if they use it as an ingredient, with the new FDA standards. But then he contradicted himself and said, "it may have always been in it." Then he proceeded to tell me that EVEN IF I am allergic to soy, it should be ok, because it's not much, and it's not the "bad" protein! OMG I was pissed! So, I asked him, "If I'm truly allergic to it, and need an Epi-pen for soy allergies, it's ok for me to have it?" His answer "sure"!! He's supposedly going to call me back with more info.

I wish I could get the Coconut Bliss too!!

For those that can have dairy....Breyers makes a Lactose Free Vanilla, and there is no soy in it. They told me it would be listed if there was.

Sugarmag,

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with that guy on the phone. Makes you want to reach through the phone & shake him a bit, huh?? :blink:

I don't get why "non-allergenic/intolerant" people have so much trouble understanding how important it is for us to get accurate information!

Good luck on your quest for "ice cream", & I will continue my search too. That one link to the

raw vegan ice cream looked yummy, didn't it?

Horsegirl,

Oh, if I could've reached through the phone and smacked him, it would've been awesome!! :)

I really do not understand why people without the allergies/intolerance are so defensive about it either! It's like they make it a point to pretend it's not a big deal, when it really is! I'm going to continue my hunt for ice cream too!! Good luck!

Mango04,

You are absolutely right! They really ought to put you on the payroll for this! :D Word of mouth really is the best way to advertise!!

Oh, I wish I lived in a place where I could get Tomberlies.

Well, technically, I could get it, but those shipping costs are a bit much B)

I just got the Coconut Bliss tonight. Got the Cherry Amaretto (I couldn't try it because I'm allergic to almonds), and the Dark Chocolate. I tried the chocolate and it is out of this world! Daughter loved it too but was not thrilled with the cherry because of the cherry bits. Husband liked it though.

Lecithin is a food ingredient that is derived from plant sources, including soy. Lecithin is isolated following hydration of solvent-extracted soy, sunflower, or corn oil. Lecithin is affirmed as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) with no limitation other than current good manufacturing practice. 21 CFR 184.1400.(7) Common food applications of lecithin include use as an emulsifier, a stabilizer, a dispersing aid, and an incidental additive, such as a release agent for baked goods. Regardless of its food application, lecithin is generally used in small amounts, with the result that it is, according to one lecithin manufacturer, present in finished foods at levels rarely exceeding 1% by weight of the final food product.

During manufacture of lecithin derived from soy, most, but not all, of the soy protein is removed. Soy allergens, to the extent they are present in lecithin, would be found in the protein fraction of the ingredient. Accurately measuring lecithin's protein content presents challenges to current analytical methodology due to the ingredient's oily matrix and low levels of protein. The GRAS affirmation regulation specifies that the ingredient meet the specifications of the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC). The FCC monograph stipulates that food grade lecithin contain not more than 0.3% hexane-insoluble matter. Because the protein fraction of lecithin would reside in such insoluble material, this specification would limit the amount of protein in food grade lecithin to 0.3% or 300 mg/ 100 g lecithin. At least one major U.S. producer has stated that its manufacturing standard for lecithin derived from soy is set at 0.05% hexane-insoluble material or 50 mg/100g lecithin.

      Do you have online access to your celiac panel test results such that you could post them? tTG-IGG is kind of a secondary test. A weak positive in that one could indicate celiac disease but since it isn't as specific a marker as the tTG-IGA it is not real convincing. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) for which there is no test. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. It is 10x more common than celiac disease and shares many of the same symptoms. Some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease. The antidote for both is the same: total avoidance of gluten.

      I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but it was absolutely wonderful during the diagnostic process!  My path for celiac disease diagnosis was the following: -Had normal IgA level, and my only serology positive test was the DGP IgG -Deficiencies in both Vitamins D and K that did not increase at first despite massive supplementation -Diagnosis of fat malabsorption both total and neutral -Diagnosis of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) -Testing was completed to rule out causes of EPI, and the only one not ruled out was celiac. -Both traditional endoscopy and pill capsule endoscopy yielded negative results for biopsy confirmation, but my GI doctor said that both procedures simply could have missed the damaged spots. -EPI and fat malabsorption resolved after taking Creon for 6 months since my EPI was caused by celiac -23 and Me said I don't have either of the two prominent genes for celiac disease   Remember that you might not have 'textbook' symptoms, but you still may have celiac disease.   Also, I am SO incredibly grateful for this site for all the learning it has allowed me to do. I have a senior dog, and these last few weeks with her were very scary! After two hospital stays, she finally received an IBD diagnosis after having gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. I know that celiac disease is not IBD, however, through reading this site, I learned more about it. I was relieved when I found out she had IBD and not cancer this past Wednesday. I know IBD can be managed thanks to what I've learned here!  So celiac.com, not only did you help me, but you helped my pup too! Thank you ❤️

      It was tTG IGG that was flagged high. I'm not sure about the other stuff. I'm still eating my normal stuff.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.
