Just Thought I'd Update On Dairy Queen

I did talk to a manager at Dairy Queen. She was quite concerned that we ended up with a non-gluten free cake when we were trying to get a gluten free cake. Between the two of us though, we did figure out that the cake that we had gotten was indeed gluten free. Apparently they have a general label that they put on ALL of their cakes (gluten free or not) telling what ingredients could be in there.

 

We even discovered that we were looking at two different labels. There's a label on the cover of the cake that is part of the DQ label that said the cake contained milk, soy and wheat and then there is a more indepth label that shows the "full" ingredient label that is either on the side of the cake or the bottom of the cake. She was looking at that one and I was looking at the top one.

 

From the sounds of things she was nearly as distraught about the whole thing as I was. We were both very relieved to figure out that my cake was gluten free. She said she is going to talk to whoever she needs to talk to about changing the way they label the cakes, at least the gluten free ones, because of how confusing it was.

 

She did send us a $10 gift card to treat the family to any of their gluten free products and is very happy that we can continue keeping our little guys health on track. She was so worried he was sick. It's nice to have someone concerned and not treating me like I'm overreacting. Hopefully she does work on getting those labels changed....it would be a tremendous help. I've never read a more confusing label. I don't understand how they can even continue using those labels!

Just picked up on this post and I didn't read the story from the beggining.

 

Can someone link me to the full story?

I found the story, It was under "He's finally starting to grow"

 

How easy was it to find the gluten free cake at Dairy Queen?  Was it made special?  Is it a private franchise decision?  Give me more information, because seriously I haven't been able to have many birthday cakes that I have not made.  (That goes for my birthday too.)

Sorry about that Mommida!

 

From what I understand, you can special order birthday cakes there (they ask that you do so they can ensure it's gluten free)....the cake I spoke of...my mother in law just went and asked and they just happened to have one.

 

I *think* all they really have to do is replace that cookie crunch in the center with one of their gluten free candy selections or you can have fudge or something like that to replace the cookie crunch part.

 

You should be able to just call or stop in and order a cake. I'm fairly certain it's across the board (I'm in Wisconsin) and we're usually a little behind on things like this, especially in my area. :)

 

I was pretty happy to find out they have gluten free ice cream cakes.....my 6 year old was over the moon....which is what caused the panic when we looked at the label! Who wants to stop an ecstatic child half way through a treat like that?!

 

Of course....after all that...I think he glutened himself today by grabbing a piece of fruit off his cousin's plate that was touching a dinner roll that wasn't gluten free. :(

I'm definitely going to look into those cakes.  I may even make my own cake layers and ask them to fill it with the ice cream.  We have to be egg free too so a lot of gluten free cakes don't work for us.

Ahhh...yeah, I don't know about the egg free part. :( Sorry. Thankfully at this point we're only gluten free. Hopefully they'll work for you or at least, with you! Good luck!

      What apps or tech tools help you manage celiac disease?

      By Olenaideole · Posted

      Hey @trents, thanks! Yeah I’ve used Scan Gluten Free too at some point. It works, though like you said, those databases aren’t always super current. I also used Mitch (getmitch.app). But it’s not an app, just a simple web tool that reads the ingredient list and highlights hidden gluten, risky additives, and cross-contamination notes. But not bad for double-checking labels when things look suspicious.

      Lab results

      By daniellelawson2011 · Posted

      Thank you Scott, I appreciate your reply to my questions. I am definitely nervous about my neurology appointment tomorrow. I have kind of lost faith in physicians, I've had symptoms for 15 years and switched PCPs several times and I've just wondered if I'll ever have answers. I was sent to rheumatology first and that physician tried to tell me I wasnt having the symptoms I told him about and joked that all of us have memory problems as we age and that its normal to have white lesions at my age. I know its not normal (im an xray tech and use to do CT). My memory is definitely not the norm for a 44 year old. I have just had to fight, push, advocate, and research things myself. I sometimes feel like a little hamster in a wheel lol. My legs shake so bad going down stairs, sometimes I have to hold onto the wall. I just feel like no one listens. That's in part why I wanted to post on here and hear from people that might have gone through the same thing. I read a few articles about high iga at the early onset of MS, and iga being in CSF also, so im thinking a lumbar puncture is what I need the most, as much as im not looking forward to that. But at this point, I just want answers so we can hit this head on and try to keep it from progressing. I just hope and pray this neurologist will hear me and I can finally get some answers! Thank you again for reaching out!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By SophiesMom · Posted

      I had already decided I won't buy wheat straw dishes. I'm concerned about eating at someone else's home, or possibly restaurants. I'm very careful to avoid wheat/gluten. My cat doesn't eat cat food with wheat or wheat gluten. I've been told that wheat grass is safe, but if I can avoid it why take a chance. The cat grass sold in "catnip" grow it yourself kits is wheat grass. Your cat will be happier with dried catnip, or catnip you grow from seeds. Strawberries: If I wash them in water will they be safe? Or should I use something more than water? I buy frozen strawberries; does freezing affect the possible gluten? Thank you for the info.

      Gluten-Free Pre-Workout & Recovery Foods – What’s Your Go-To?

      By KennaH · Posted

      Interesting topic. I am gluten-free for approx 2 years. Age 60+ with various related health issues related to late diagnosis of celiac disease. Diagnosed osteoporosis and muscle loss. After walking or playing golf, I ate coconut yogurt with collagen protein and whey protein. Whey protein for many amino acids. Bloating and severe abdominal pain. Same with collagen protein powder even though gluten and lactose free. I am suspect exposure through other subtle ingredients. Research on both whey and collagen powders is my focus as I need the benefits of post-workout food items.
