A while ago I posted that Baskin Robins told me they would make me a gluten-free cake if I gave them 24 hours notice. Welp I called thier bluff this weekend, hey it WAS Father's day, and I ordered a one it was great! :D Cant wait till I get home tonight for leftovers :D (ordered a 1/3rd of a sheet for just me LOL )

NOT Cheap though. :(

EDIT I should note here they did not know what gluten-free was, but they were very good aboutlistening to me, and they even took notes. At one point they even called me and check the indgredents of thier iceing to make sure it was okay!!

That sounds good is it just ice cream or cake too!

My dh got me a clown cone from them once and he brought a gluten-free cone to them and explained that I couldn't have wheat. Well, they put a cookie on the bottom I didn't realize it until I took a bite. :rolleyes:

That's great they were listening. Did they know of ways they could contaminate it while making it though? If they didn't know about gluten I would be very skeptical because where they prepare these cakes there is alot of ways it can be contaminated. If you do order it talk to a manager and then request a manager makes it...I know I worked at TCBY and the manager was very accomodating to special needs of people but the employees were a bit careless. TCBY will also do these cakes if you talk to them in advance(at least the one near us does)

Can we eat the icing? Is it gluten-free? Did you have them put any toppings on it? What exactly was the cake that you got? My b-day is tomorrow and the TCBY near us is closing so my Mom wanted to know where else to get a cake. This is great news, but i need to know more details please!!!

They read the list of ingredents on the Iceing and it was fine, but they were not sure about the "confetti" that they use... so I told them leave it off. It was just pure icecream+icing+decorations. I kept it simple for safty. Just call and talk to them, they need at least a full days notice becuase it takes that long for the icrecream to "set".

And I would double check the iceing at the one local to you since its a franchise, there could be some regional differences

The owner of the TCBY I worked at would call whoever made where they got the icing from to verify if it was gluten free. If not, if you bring some in that you can have they will make it with that....not sure if other TCBY's do this but I know this one did

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
