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.

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.

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 :)

Those are good, saw them at Sams - Houston. I tried the sugar free ones.

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.

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

      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.

      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.
