Coke And Cherry Icees

We are gluten-free/cf. So, no store bought ice cream this summer. We try to be as healthy and organic as possible, but sometimes you gotta cheat, especially when you are away from home and can't make something. Does anyone know if the Cherry (and Coke) Icee you often see at convenience stores, baseball games, etc is gluten and casein free? I would figure it to be dairy free. Who knows about gluten free! I have just noticed this a couple of times while out and figured it might be a good when you are out, occasional treat. I had a hard time going to the Astros (baseball) game last week and not being able to eat anything. An Icee would have been nice. We are going to Sea World on Monday with our 2 yr old and thought maybe they have them there also. Thanks for your help.

Has anyone had trouble with a Celiac reaction after eating a Cherry or Coca Cola ICEE? The only food I had yesterday, that I don't eat frequently, was a mixed Cherry and Coca Cola ICEE. Within hours I had one of my typical reactions to eating Gluten.

Can anyone help me out?

Just wanted to let you know there are a couple of gluten-free/CF ice cream options out there in the stores. I actually eat Breyer's Lactose-free vanilla with no reaction. There's also a coconut milk based ice cream line from Turtle Mountain (it's called Purely Decadent) that can be found in many supermarkets. The Breyers comes in a standard Breyers largish container the Purely Decadent in pints.

Luigi's Italian ice cups are gFcFsF also. They sell them in freezer sections of the grocery store in boxes of 6. If you eat a few bites and make a little room on top, then you can pour a tablespoon of absinthe on it and they are not bad at all. There are other brand but the Luigi's are the best tasting that I have tried.

I loved icees up until my diagnosis, and I too have had reactions to their frozen drink products. Our theory is the thickening agent used in the formula.

Perhaps the problem is not the drink itself.

That only tests one very small area of Virginia, which to me shows that its a problem in that area. Have you seen any research to show that something like this is a problem nationally?

Strangely, I am researching due to the fact that I had a gluten reaction to a coke icee that I had yesterday afternoon.  Having all the hallmark symptoms that I go through when consuming gluten.  

All my research shows that they are gluten free so I thought maybe cross contamination somehow.  Interesting that you had a similar reaction.  I will probably try one more time this summer and see if the symptoms repeat.

My daughter had a Cherry Icee and  within an hour she had glassy eyes and was nauseated .She  was vomiting a few hours later . The rest of her diet is carefully gluten-free and the iced was a “treat”’on a road trip . She threw up a few times over 12 hours and then it was over but she was really uncomfortable. I emailed Icee and they blamed the cleanliness of the dispenser (blaming the retailer instead of admitting fault .) after seeing this reaction and reading other replies I’m sure there is some gluten in Icees. Never again!

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
