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!!! :(

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
