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.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing? Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement? The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1. Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating. Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue...

      Testing

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Gluten-Free Ramen: A Comforting Bowl of Japanese Tradition

      Definitely, I have ramen regularly as Costco sells an excellent brown rice & buckwheat gluten-free ramen (just the noodles--they also sell a GF chicken soup stock in jars that works well to make ramen).

      Testing

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out...

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.
