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.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ...

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
