I'm sorry! I have no idea, I've never heard of it. I had some dreyers the other day that was gluten-free though, it was sooooo good. I haven't had ice cream since all this started, i've probably had better, but that was the best friggin ice cream I had ever eaten!!! Do they have a web-site? I'd be searching if I were you!

My daughter has it all the time and loves it - if I recall correctly, there are a couple flavors that are not gluten free (cookie pieces, etc.). There are two flavors she really likes. I think the names are Cherry Nirvana and Peanut Butter ZigZag.

You might also try "Good Karma" brand Rice Cream. I think their website is www.goodkarmafoods.com. Their carrot cake flavor is really good.

I can't help but think we oregonians are getting the shaft with this gluten business! I can only think of two places, one of which is 40 miles away, that have gluten free menus. I have heard of all sorts of places that have theese menus, but they aren't around here. Just had to whine. :angry:

I've eaten it without problems. According to their website they only make gluten-free, dairy-free stuff, so I can't imagine how they could have CC.

good karma is completely gluten-free.

they dont make anything that isnt gluten-free.

so no issue of cc there.

i also eat turtle mountain "so delicious" and "purely decadent" without any problems and im super sensitive!

they are super careful about cc. you can read their statment on their

products and website.

hope you enjoy them!!!

I eat their chocolate and vanilla all the time. I reacted once to the cherry nirvana. I suspect that for those flavors in the "smaller" containers they have shared lines. I know they use the ELISA test for their products, but for me that still doesn't cut it. The tiniest bit sets me off.

Am I mistaken, or does Turtle Mountain also make non-dairy "ice creams" with a rice source?

Anybody know?

Generally, I like their products, and their website shows that they go to great lengths to provide complete ingredient/"allergen" information. I was THRILLED when I saw in their chart (at www.turtlemountain.com) that the "Purely Decadent . . . Turtle Tracks" flavor did not contain gluten. Caramel, at last, I thought . . . . HOWEVER, I ate it on several different occasions and had several unusual reactions that I think were related to celiac disease. I wrote to the company to inquire about a possible error in their chart, but received no response.

There was nothing really definitive about my reactions, but they occurred in the same way every time I ate this product. Despite an "off the charts" antibody count, I've never had really severe celiac disease symptoms, so it's not always immediately clear to me that I am reacting to gluten. In any event, I suspect gluten is present in the Turtle Tracks flavor. I could be wrong.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly. This is safe...

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!
