I called our local Baskin Robins about thier ice cream cakes, and they have a cake base BUT they wold gladly make me a gluten-free one as long as I gave them at least 24 hours notice. Apreantly it has to "freeze over night".

Since we do not have carvel down here, this is next best thing. :)

Wow, what will they make it out of and do you have to worry about cross contaminaton?

Kati, you used to work at TCBY, right? Are these cakes safe?

Looks like there's hope for my birthday yet....

Ice Cream of course, and you always have to worry about cross contimaination. All you can do is educate and hope. :)

With softserve there really is no issue of cross contamination..nothing touches where that comes out...

With ice cream there is a possibility of contamination with scoops...always ask them to wash it

With shivers..the machine may have contamination issues because it mixes up ice creams with toppings such as oreos.

Well the ice cream cakes have wheat in them BUT if you let them know in advance they will make you an all ice cream one that is gluten free.

Talk to the manager though or someone at a higher position then a regular employee because they don't know anything...they will look at you with a blank look on their face.

The manager should take care of this with no problem.

Make sure you say when working on your cake they must not touch any other food while preparing it unless they wash their hands or change gloves before coming back to it. Specify that this is a major health issue and can make you sick with the slightest bit.

The place I worked at catered to these people with no problem...as long as you make them aware of the issue the manager will handle it(at least the manager at the place I worked with did..and was great)

I know that McFlurry's at Mcds are definitely gluten-free because they dont use an universal mixer, they attach a new mixer (the spoon attaches to the mixer) for each mcflurry.

Do you know if the Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry is gluten-free? I'm in Canada and this item isn't on the website, I guess because it's a seasonal item or it's just not served in every McDonald's... or something.

We have gotten 1/2 dozen or so cakes from our Baskin Robins with out any problems... sadly there is none near by us now (we moved), so we miss them big time. :(

We did have to order 48-72 hours in advance so they could make it. But that was fine. It was worth the wait :D

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…
