Purely Decadent Coconut Milk Ice Cream

I just finished off a pint of PD Coconut Milk ice cream (coconut flavor) and within 10 minutes I was feeling sick and had to run to the bathroom. Now I can feel the gas filling up my middle and I'm all sore and tender already...this is the fastest, clearest reaction I've had to anything since going gluten-free. Does anyone else have problems with this? I have no other known intolerances or allergens (though I suspect soy is messing with my hormones and I've almost cut it out completely). This first and only other bowl I had of this stuff hurt me too, but I only had a few bites and dumped the rest of the bowl, and I think that's because it made me feel bad. The ingredients are:

Organic Coconut Milk

Organic Agave Syrup

Chicory Root Extract

Organic Dried Coconut

Carob Bean Gum

Guar Gum

Natural Flavor

I don't know if maybe it's something else that's bothering me? I'm a big coconut user (milk, oil, just straight flakes) and it never gives me a problem. I don't normally have agave in the house because I use other things, but I've definitely had it before and I think I would have remembered if it had made me feel this bad. I've had guar gum in regular dairy ice cream before without a problem. Not sure about the chicory root or carob bean gum.

They carton says they test to prevent contamination by gluten and other "undeclared allergens," though they aren't any more specific than that.

Anyone else have a problem with it?

Did you eat a whole pint?

I buy Coconut Bliss dark chocolate and haven't had a problem.

That stuff has a ton of fiber in it. Could you have overdone it and are actually having gas pains?

Sometimes I don't do well with anything that has a gum in it. I haven't figured it out yet but it is a combination of something(s) + gum. I don't eat much processed food at all so I rarely encounter it, but I have figured out that it is gums. I know there are certain other things I can eat but not in combination. e.g. I can eat paprika or peppers, but not within a two days of each other.

I have problems with some processed foods. I only add one new one per week so that I can tell if something bothers me. If something does, I don't eat it again. Sometimes I avoid the whole brand. I usually can't tell until the next day if something bothers me. You are lucky to be able to know so quickly. It is possible that there was some cc during processing.

Different celiacs have difference tolerances to trace cc.

Purely Decadent tears me up too if I eat the whole pint. I think it's the guar gum, which is known to cause GI distress (to put it mildly). I do ok if I just eat a little bit of the ice cream at a time... I've learned I just have to know when to stop. :lol:

It wasn't the whole pint, I was just finishing up the last few bites. It was probably a quarter. Haha I wouldn't have bothered to ask what was bothering me if it had been the whole thing! Oh well, whatever it was, I know I can't eat it again. Some things are just a mystery.

Hello,

I am new to this site but have been eating purely decadent ice cream for a while it is my only sweet that I buy. Most of what I eat I make in my kitchen because I can control the ingredients and contamination probability.

In reference to your post I have no problems with it but my nephew does his symptoms are similar to yours, in his case it is the guar gum and the carob bean gum. Both have been know to cause intestinal problems. I do make a version in my kitchen with arrow root instead of the gums and he loves it and has no problems with it.

Celiac disease is different for everyone, I am so sensitive that I can no longer even tolerate any kind of dairy products even the ones that are gluten free.

I hope this helps... :-)

I can't handle any coconut milk at all. It has a laxative effect in some people.

I recently got a ice cream maker and have been making fruit sorbets. There is even a chocolate dairy/casein free one. Maybe you could get one and have that instead. Feel better!

Agave syrup is very high in fructose. In my opinion it's way overrated as a "health" food. In my opinion it doesn't taste good enough to even both with, it his more fructose then high-fructose syrup!

There is something called fructose malabsorption where some individuals do not make enough glucose naturally to digest high fructose foods like agave. Included in that is gluten! Gluten is on the no list for fructose malabsorption. A lot of people who have celiac disease suffer from this as well AND a lot of gluten intolerance can be confused with fructose malabsorption.

This topic is over 3 years old - most of the posters are no longer hanging around.

 

I think you are talking about FODMAPS.   We have had many articles about that as a possible explanation for NCGI.

      Confused with test results

      By Dhruv · Posted

      @trents I absolutely understand the perspective of getting off completely from wheat,  but sometimes situation may occur that you won't have choice to eat other than wheat,  my son travels a lot, since they travel in team, it's not easy to go out and find him a gluten free every single time! I have seen, even in NJ I m struggling to find out gluten free stuff, in this country we don't get fresh food in stores, other day i saw gluten free bread so hard that will never feel to eat it! Once in while means once in a while, when there is no absolute option. Here all goes by book, there is no enough scientific research done yet on eating gluten with celiac,  everyone has there own narrative,  only it being said don't eat wheat, but Noone has come up with the experience. And moreover my sons diagnosis is yet to define, whether he has celiac or NCGS. last time his endoscopy came negative hence doctor did not bother to tell us. I hope this time it will be the same case. We are figuring out why his billirubin is high, may be that could be the reason his igg iga test is high, will get check on all and come to the conclusion. My son and us is absolutely fine not eating gluten, but one can't guarantee that every time they will get the gluten free food other than home. I also don't trust under the table of "gluten free products" have see people still have same iga igg count even after following the diet. This is all learnings, will keep him under observation and go through the regular testing to find out how his body reacts to what.  I may sound like a fool, but medical is scam in US, hence i would consult doctors in India. 14 years ago they have announced i had a breast cancer, which was not, since then I don't trust medical system here.

      Travel Abroad

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I've been to Italy recently for a wedding and it was excellent. I made my own gluten-free sandwiches/pannini to take on the flights.  Spain is good and you can get good gluten-free breads in the supermarkets there. The UK and Ireland are very good also. Australia would be good since Coeliac Disease is fairly common there ...1 in 70 as opposed to 1 in 100 in other countries. You have to advocate for yourself in restaurants when eating out. I've read about several Coeliacs being cross contaminated from preordered gluten-free meals on airlines. Personally, I wouldn't trust a gluten-free meal on an airline especially long haul. Try the hashtag celiactravel on tiktok and instagram. Loads of Coeliacs posting about their experiences with plenty travel tips. The Atly app has a list of gluten-free friendly restaurants worldwide.
