So Delicious And Purely Decadent Products

I'm wondering about their products, particularly their coconut products. Their website has information on all the steps they take to prevent cross contamination and they have listings of what is gluten free and such. Still, one can never be too careful. Does anyone eat their products, and have you ever had a reaction to anything?

I have eaten So Delicious without problems. Have no tried Purely Decadent.

We've had problems with both. I thought it was maybe another ingredient in them or something then I started getting on (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned).com where some people do their own gluten testing on products. Sure enough the purely decadent coconut milk ice cream tested positive for low levels of gluten. I guess it just depends on how sensitive you are. If you tolerate most prepackaged gluten free foods then I would think you would be fine with these. We're super sensitive and don't tolerate much at all.

I tried and didn't tolerate, but I react to most processed food.

I reacted to every flavor of So Delicious that our store carried - mint, chocolate, vanilla, coconut...don't think they carried any others, locally. I was so stoked to try them out because it was an ice cream without sugarcane, for once! :D

My daughter and son have reacted to many flavors of the Purely Decadent stuff and a few times to So Delicious. They've also eaten some and been just fine, so I'd guess it's more of a periodic risk of cc, for most people, than that every batch is contaminated. The little So Delicious chocolate covered coconut ice-cream bars gave a worse reaction than the regular little tubs.

My daughter and myself are way up in the sensitivity scale, my son less so. He's reacted the fewest times to these products, and it was usually only when his sister had a major reaction that he showed any reaction at all.

I use the So Delicious coconut ice creams and have had no issues with them. I am a very sensitive Celiac also. People can have a problem with coconut in general because of the fat content, which can be hard for Celiacs to digest well. It can cause the same reaction as a gluten hit. I have no problem recommending this to other Celiacs. Try it....it's very good!

Just for the record, I don't have any problems with coconut, or fat. Even among super sensitives, sensitivity levels can vary.

I use So Delicious Coconut milk and their Creamer as well--in baking and on cereal and in my tea. I eat the ice cream, too.

I usually react right away with "gluten head" or bowel issues --and I have NO reaction whatsoever.

I guess everyone is different.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
