Okay, so I had to share. Some of you wrote last week I think it was, about Philly Swirl, loving their pops... I wrote them, and the owner starting writing me back, he was really sweet about supporting them, and that yes, they are having some trouble, but are trying to spread the word. His two e-mails are below. If you shop at Sam's Club they are still doing a trail on their sugar free pops there... They sell their different products at Meijer and Walmart too. It makes me sad to see an allergy/intolerance company having trouble staying a float, when all those other stupid gluten-full companies are raking it in ! :o Their site is: Open Original Shared Link

FYI for ya'll: (PS--He did send me pics of his daughter too!) How's that for the "personal touch"!

Dear Jen!!

Thank you so much!!! Believe me, I am very grateful to you. It's times like this that I am very happy that I personally respond to all of our email.

I'm curious, did you happen to purchase my product at a Sam's Club, and if so, which store location do you shop at?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Jen,

Believe me, I have approached many other grocery chains and most of them were NOT interested in selling our products.

As you may have already realized, Sam's Clubs have only given us a trial period to see how our Sugar Free (Splenda) Stix would sell. Please do me a HUGE favor and contact or email a few of your friends (particularly those who have diabetes or those on low sugar/low carb diets) to try my product at Sam's. Our original trial period had actually expired at the end of March and Sam's has decided to extend it temporarily. Word of mouth is clearly making a huge difference. We are even offering a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!

On a personal note, my wife and I have a new addition to our family, her name is Mya. Here are some photos (please see attached). Have a great afternoon and PLEASE keep in touch with me.

that's a bummer!

I check walmart just yesterday and so nothing by thier brand name... I do not get out to Sams Club very often, so do not know if they carry them here or not. :(

They carry them at a Sam's Club near us. I'll have to go there sometime. Do they sell ones with regular sugar? I would rather have the sugar then the sugar substitutes.

jenvan Collaborator

Kaiti--

Yes....they have like 6 different kinds and only one of those is sugar free. I'm not a sugar free person myself... Bring on the skittles !

Oh, and all of their frozen desserts, except for the sandwiches are gluten and nut free. Their website is funny...it has all these funky characters on it... Random thought :)

I sent them an e-mail last night thanking them for being allergy/celiac friendly. I couldn't post until now, though, cause the board was acting up on me last night.

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
