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 <_<

Guest gfinnebraska

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!!! :(

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.

      Don't skimp on the gluten daily while undergoing the gluten challenge!
