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,

Mariann

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!!! :(

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By par18 · Posted

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. 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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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.

      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 coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      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 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/
