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.

      Okay thanks Scott. So based on my results will they order more tests to be done? Kind of confused.
    • Scott Adams
      Yes, this sounds right. Let us know when you find out your results.

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? 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. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
