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

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      Medication

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
