Almost Ice Cream

I just found this wonderful product. It is called a sorbet but it is unlike any sorbet I have encountered. Rather than being icy it is smooth and creamy - as good as ice cream. Product name is Sharon's Sorbet.

It is not labeled gluten free but here are the ingredients:

Water, coconut milk, coconut cream, cane sugar, corn syrup, coconut shreds, natural stabilizers (locust bean, guar gum, lecithin carrageenan - natural flavors.

The natural flavors could be an issue but it has not bothered me. I have an info request out.

I purchased this at Whole Foods. Claire

I second the motion! It's GREAT! I've never had a problem with it. For a really yummy treat mix in some crushed Kinnickinnick K-toos. Closest thing I've had to a "Blizzard" for 10 years. Our Trader Joe's stopped carrying it, so I might have to drive the hour to Whole Foods here.

Thanks for the recommendation - I'll be at Whole Foods next week - I'll pick up some. I'm always looking for ice cream for my daughter that's gluten/dairy/soy free. Is there just one flavor? Thanks!

Sharon's coconut sorbet is amazing. Whole Foods also sells young coconuts. Those are even better than the sorbet (and no gluten risk - just eat the fleshy coconut stuff and the water right out of the cocont shell - yum!)

Sharon's sorbet is listed on the trader Joes gluten-free list here in Media PA

I'm dying to try it. Going to get some tomorrow if you guys let me know about the sweetnest.

I did try some other sorbet and found it SOOOOO SWEET that i didn't like it.

Is this really sweet?

I like the idea it's more 'creamy' like ice cream. I really miss my ice cream do to cutting out dairy.

Judy,

The coconut sorbet is sweet, but isn't too sweet. It's not overpowering like some of the fruit sorbets are. It's very rich though. You will be satisfied with a modest sized serving. It's very good with chocolate syrup or fruit syrup. I can't figure out why our Trader Joe's stopped carrying it - it always seemed to sell well. My son and I haven't had any decent ice cream substitute for a long time.

Also - it does come in a few other flavors. Raspberry, lemon, passion fruit and one other, I think.

I love their lemon sorbet. It's on the gluten free list at Trader Joes (northeast).

I was very excited when I read this thread, as someone who is gluten-free, soy free, and dairy limited. I emailed the company about it being gluten-free, and below is their (brief) response:

All natural gluten free--no artifical ingredients

Yea for us! Just thought I'd share the info!

I am so excited to read this thread too!!

I've got it on my list for the co-op next time I go. I think I've looked at all the "ice creams" but will look again and maybe ask them to special order it for me, if it's that good.

I went by Whole Foods this morning but they don't carry it. I put in a request, though, so we'll see if they can order some. I'll have to try Trader Joes next week.

ALERT YOU GUYS!!!! :blink::ph34r:

I just went to TJ's today and the cocconut sorbet has SOY LISTED IN THE ALLERGIN ALERT AT THE END OF THE INGRED. i ASKED THE 'HELPER' AND HE SAID IT WAS IN ONE OF THE INGRED. i'LL TRY TO FIND THE WEB SITE AGAIN TOMORROW AND POST WHAT IT'S HIDDEN IN. IT DIDN'T SAY SOY BUT HE SAID IT IT'S LABELED AS A SOY ALLERGEN THEN IT'S IN THERE.

I don't know where you are but Whole Foods in the Washington, DC area, Maryland and PA all carry it. MacCaffety's markets in PA also.

to Judy in Philly -

My carton of coconut sorbet has no soy listed in the ingredients. It may be that it is in some flavors and not others. I am checking the company again. They have been prompt to answer. Claire

IT WAS ONLY ON THE COCONUT ONE. THE OTHERS WERE OK.

LET US KNOW WHAT YOU FIND OUT.

REMEMBER IT'S THE TRADER JOES WHERE I GOT IT.

I WONDER IF THE SHARON'S SORBET PUTS THE LISTINGS ON IT OR THE INDIV STORES THAT SELL IT. I BET IT COMES FROM SHARONS.

I'LL TRY TO CALL TOO.

I'm holding a carton right now and there is no mention of soy anywhere on it. I'm on the West coast. I've been eating this for a couple of years and NEVER had a problem and I avoid soy. I looked on Sharon's website and couldn't find any information and also looked on another website that listed all the ingredients and soy isn't listed anywhere.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU LIZ--IF I HADN'T STOOD IN THE DANG STORE LOOKING AT THE BLASTED CARTON I'D THINK I WAS FRIGGN' GOING NUTS.

AS I SAID EARLIER TODAY----I COULDN'T SEE ON THE INGRED PANEL WHERE IT WAS LISTED BUT IN BOLD RED LETTERS UNDER THE INGRED AND ON THE ALLERGINS WARNING.....SOY WAS LISTED SO...GOING TO CALL THE COMPANY SOME TIME.

REMEMBER I GOT MINE AT TRADER JOES. WHERE DID YOU GET YOURS? IT WAS ONLY ON THE COCONUT SORBET.

JUDY IN PHILLY (FORGIVE MY BIG TYPE NOT YELLING AT YOU JUST CAN'T SEE VERY WELL TODAY AND IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO READ AND PROOF READ... :lol:

Hi Judy,

Don't worry about the big type. Hope you can read mine. I have the coconut sorbet. I got mine at Trader Joe's too, but it was in January or early February, since they haven't been selling it here since then. No red type on mine. This is so weird. I wonder if it's a cross-contamination problem? I don't think it could be too much soy - probably just a warning for people who might have an anaphylactic reaction to soy or something. I've never had a problem with it.

I wish I could find this in some of the other flavors--coconut dosn't like me. My Whole Foods only has the coconut. I eat the Whole Fruit sorbet that I get at the reg. grocery store. The ingredients look ok, but I have an email out to them to make sure.

Thanks so much Liz. This is really weird..I've been in the guest room cleaning and filing all day and don't feel like calling today. I bet your right, there just might be a cc thing or 'cover your a--' but don't know know why the other flavors wouldn't have it.

I think the main question i'll ask is , to the stores that sell it have the option to change the labeling the product sends out....??? Wouldn't think so due to quality control but .....heck, I'm so new to this...

appreciate your reply. did you say your on the West Coast..I'm on the East and know that the lists were so different as were the products...the balsamic vinagergrette there didn't have soy and same bottle here did NOW...AND I'D USED IT SINCE JUNE...

TOO TIRED TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT

HEY, PATTI KEEP TELLING YOU TO COME ON OVER THE RIVER AND WE'LL SHOP TOGETHER AT MINE AND MARTINDALES. I STILL HAVE TO GET TO WHOLE FOODS.

I love sorbet! It is my dairy free "icecream" :) I haven't seen Sharon's but will keep an eye out. My favorite--I love--is Cioa Bella sorbets-soo good! Coconut also and a ton of other flavors. Last time I went to the store that carries them (on other side of town) I stocked up on $30 worth!!! Don't worry--it will last me for a while :)

I started this topic on Sharon's Sorbet. I have recontacted the company and have been assured that only the Coconut has some soy. All other flavors are gluten free, dairy free, soy free. What more can you ask!

I am trying to get it into our new Marketplace- a great new local store with all kinds of gluten-free foods. Claire

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
