D'lites Emporium In Florida

Hi, all (and especially to those of you in the Sunshine State)!

I just popped in the D'Lites Emporium on 34th St here in Gainesville, because my friend had been to the store on NW 16th Blvd and told me they had lots of gluten free stuff. Well, I guess this one must be smaller, but still, they had bars and whatnot that I have never tried. I was planning to just get those and go, but the person working there asked me if I wanted ice cream. I'm kind of a purist about my ice cream and wasn't planning to try it -- their big thing is that it's all diet and low-carb friendly. But hey -- the ingredients looked gluten-free and I went for it. It's yummy! I've emailed the company for more information on the flavors, since they just add flavoring to the basic chocolate or vanilla recipe for all the other flavors. When I hear something, I'll let you know.

I got a rice krispie (sp?) bar, an energy-type bar that is supposed to keep your blood sugar level, and some chips that are supposed to do the same thing.

Just thought I'd share!

Here is the response I received from D'Lites Emporium, Thursday, May 29.

ALL OF THE FLAVORS HAVE A VANILLA OR CHOCOLATE BASE. YOU THEN ADD A NON CALORIC EXTRACT TO PRODUCE THE FLAVOR YOU WANT.

GLUTEN FREE REGARDLESS OF THE FLAVOR YOU PICK.

BEST WISHES,

D'Lites is located in Florida in Gainesville, Hernando, The Villages, Altamonte Springs, Tampa, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Sunrise, Aventura and coming soon to many more cities.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
