Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows if the Great Value (Wal-mart Brand) ice cream cups are gluten free or not. I think they have vanilla and choc.

Thanks,

Kasey's Mom

Are these similar to Hoodsies?

Hi,

I'm not sure if these are similiar to Hoodies or not. I looked at them last night and they're plastic cups with paper lids. I couldn't find a phone number to contact the company. I called our local Wal-mart and they didn't have any idea. There's an allergy warning on the back for nuts and milk but it doesn't say anything about gluten. My child is also allergic to eggs. We're going to a church function and this is what they're feeding the kids. I know that Rice Dream isn't gluten-free but does anyone know about the vanilla Rice Dream ice cream? Maybe I could pick up safe ice cream and just put it in a bowl for her.

Thanks,

Kasey's Mom

I get Mayfield or Edy's Ice Cream for my daughter and me. Both companies list their gluten-free flavors on their websites.

Thanks Nisla,

I think that's our best bet. I was alittle concerned that there was no phone number to contact the company listed. Also, there were some many ingredients and additives in the ice cream. This is our first major function where my daughter has been around other children eating foods that she can't. So far they've have choc. chip cookies, gold fish and pb. crackers and fruit drinks with carmel color. I've heard a lot of people talking abou how sorry they feel for her. I know this will be a challenge for a long time to come. One mom who was trying to be helpful said, "I'll move my kids to another table." Luckily we got her to stay....not being able to eat like the other children and then eating alone would have been the worst! I have no idea why I'm rambling but oh well! :lol:

Thanks again,

Kasey's Mom

Yes. Edys has the gluten-free flavors on their flavor finder if you check "gluten-free". Haagen-Dazs will send you a gluten-free list. I don't know about eggs, but I think you can choose egg-free on the Edy's website flavor finder, as well.

yw... hope it helps

with my daughter, I try to find out in advance what the other kids will be eating and bring as close of a gluten-free version as I can! OR, I provide the snack for ALL the kids!

At church I have sent a big bag of Glutino pretzels for the kids, or made a chocolate chip cookie cake out of The Gluten Free Pantry's Chocolate Chip Cookie mix, or made Pamela's brownies... The kids all love it and my daughter doesn't feel left out.

at school, I try to coordinate her menu with the schools menu. And about once a month I'll send in enough food for them to do a special lunch for her entire class that she gets to share.

sure it costs me a little extra to do this, but to me the smile on my daughter's face when she feels "normal" is worth it all. Most of the kids in her classes at school and at church have discovered they really like the foods that I send with her. This also helps her learn to share!

If I knowthe menu ahead of time I send my daughter with gluten-free versions so she has the same types of food. After awhile though, she got to the point where she did not mind not having the same food. She has her moments though! Now she is 11 and a bit old for birthday parties, but when she was younger many of her friends asked her what she wanted because they did not want her to feel left out! It was sweet the way some students would come into school with things for her when they brought cupcakes and such for birthdays.

Thanks so much for all the wonderful ideas! You all are so creative. She has a birthday coming up so I've been trying to decided what type of cake to do. The choc. chip cookie cake is a really neat idea. I had gotten a little used to baking gluten-free but the last two weeks without eggs has been really challenging. They are having a cake tomorrow so I thought I would make cupcakes to take.

Tonight I went with the ice cream that I knew was safe! I got a bowl of ice cream just like she had and she seemed so excited.

Nisla-I made playdough for her class to use a bible school and they had a ball. The teacher couldn't believe how soft the dough was. Thanks again!

You are so very welcome! I'm glad that our experience can help someone else and I'm glad the play dough worked out for you!

I even went out and bought an ice cream maker from Wal Mart so that I can make a very basic ice vanilla ice cream and add crumbled up Mi-del wheat free/gluten free sandwich cookies (like Oreo's) and I make my own cookies and cream ice cream! I haven't tried cookie dough yet but I'm thinking of trying cookie dough ice cream next!

Nisla, I'm going to fish out my old ice-cream maker. The cookies and cream and cookie dough ideas sound wonderful. I thought about making ice cream sandwitches with vanilla and gluten-free choc. chip cookies.

I thought I had tried the Glutino pretzels but it was the seseame pretzels from Ener-g. I think I saw the big bag of Glutino pretzels for $5.69 or so.

Thanks. :)

If someone tries the cookie dough ice cream could you please post how it comes out? Maybe note any problems? I think my daughter would love cookie dough ice cream. Of course, I suppose I could stop being lazy and try this myself, but I do not want to invest in an ice cream machine if I won't be using it, and I will but one if I can get her cookie dough ice cream.

ok, I made homeade ice cream today and in the bucket style ice cream maker (Rival) I just mixed the basic ingredients, Milk, Cream, Sugar, Vanilla, dash salt, chilled for 30 minutes then poured into the canister, churned it for about 30 minutes with Rock Salt and Ice in the bucket (on the outside of the canister) once it was done I took the "dasher" (mixing blade) out and stirred in my crumbled up Mi-Del gluten-free cookies. Then I packed the ice cream into a plastic container and put into the freezer to give it a "hard freeze", it will be ready tomorrow.

I have also done this before with cookie dough. I use the gluten-free Pantry's Chocolate Chip cookie dough recipe and form small round balls, place on cookie sheet and freeze overnite or until ready to use. Add these after removing "dasher" like I did with crumbled cookies. Mix well then pack into plastic container and hard freeze. It turns out great!

Yummy Nisla,

I use a Cuisinart ice cream maker. I freeze the bowl before I use it and you don't use the salt or ice. I love my ice cream maker but I really need an extra bowl for big batches. I seem to crave homemad ice cream at this time of the year. Usually my ice cream maker lays dormate during the winter months. :D I love to make frozen yogurt wtih fruit. I also have several recipes for sorbet. Our favorite sorbet is pink grapefruit.

Can't wait to try your recipes...this would be a great addition to birthday cake! :)

Thank you for the recipe. I think I am going to get an ice cream maker. I think my daughter will love it. Are all of the rock salts gluten-free? I do not know exactly what one I will get and the rock salt has been a concern. Do you find it is available year round? We had a Rival when I was little, but stopped using it because we had trouble finding the salt. Thanks!!

I've tried both Glutano and Mi-del...a long time ago, though...don't remember which one I liked more. I think Mi-del had a much more realistic cookie part, and Glutano had a slightly sweeter icing...don't remember very well, though.

Does anyone know the website for Mi-del? We have food allergies so I wanted to check the ingredient lists.

Thanks for the information!

Thanks for the link! I found that a company I already order from carries the cookies and list the ingredients on their website.

Thanks again for the help.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
