I just heard that Sam's might not be carrying Philly Swirl Frozen pops after June if the sales aren't good. I'm really upset - my family enjoys them because of the sugar free aspect and the low carbs, but we have friends with kids on gluten-free diets that need to have treats, too. PLEASE,Please write, shop & buy these so these stores realize there is buying power in these areas! Thanks!

I love Philly Swirl. They clearly label GLUTEN FREE :D I would suppose if Sam's stops then Wal-Mart would stop also. Grrrrr <_<

I totally agree, Philly Swirl is an awesome product, and an awesome company for their customer service and their labeling policy. I have been e-mailing back and forth with Alex Plotkin, one of the Owners/co-founders of Philly Swirl. I think this is an amazing company that NEEDS our support. call Alex directly at 1-877-379-4757 and ask them how you can help. Alex sent me a ton of coupons to share with my friends and family so that they can enjoy Philly Swirl as well. My husband who is not gluten-free, loves the Italian Ice cups, the flavors are incredible. Wal Mart will redeem the coupons but Sam's Club probably won't. Still, please please please support this company and ask other grocers to carry their product. (and no I am not an employee, just someone like you who found this company by searching for good gluten free goodies) :D

I just had to add my 2 cents about Philly Swirl!

It is a great company... I too received the emails/letter/coupons from Alex.

We love them not just b/c of the gluten-free aspect, but also the facility is nut free... all my kids are allergic to nuts, two are gluten-free.

I give the coupons to friends who wonder what snacks to have on hand for my kids.

This is a small company with a big heart.

I hope they make it!

Costco sells them here in California, but they only stock them during the summer! I can't find them anywhere the rest of the year.

They also only sell the pops, and not the cups. My kids want the cups. :(<_<

Does anyone know of other stores that might sell them in California? I guess I'll have to check out there site again. I am on their e-mail list and I get e-mails fairly often from Phillyswirl.com...

God bless,

Did you hear they were stopping sales at all locations or just ones where you live? They better not take them away <_<

Hmmm... their web site says that they are in all WalMart and Sam's club stores in Nebraska. I will HAVE to look more closely next time I go!! Thanks for the info., and I will definitely pass on the info. to family and friends. I hate to see good, gluten-free things leave Sam's or any other store.

P.S. Just found out today that a Walmart is being built 20 miles from my home. :D Right now the closest one is 60 miles!!! :(

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
