Oops. No More Ice Cream Store Stops For Us.

I carefully checked the ingredients in the icecream treat never thinking about cross contamination from the scoop. My 3 year old feels miserable and I feel stupid.

Any tips to avoid this or do we just need to stick with Wendy's Frostys?

We haven't been brave enough to try stopping for ice cream at a place. It's either a Frosty or we buy it at the grocery store to eat at home. Ice cream scoops seem scary! All that gluten touching going on. Our one exception was when we were eating out at a restaurant and the manager opened a new container for DD so she could have ice cream on her birthday.

Ben & Jerry's scoop shop and Baskin Robbins are great places to go. They'll let you know if something has gluten (or look it up for you - B & R actually lists the 8 major allergens on their flavors, B & J has ingredients on hand), wash the scoops in a separate fawcett (sp?) so there isn't residue from other scoops, and scoop from a clean, untouched place. We go to both places semi-regularly and have never had a problem. It is, in fact, the only "restaurant" our kids eat at ;)

We go to Cold Stone Creamery. Tell them you have allergies, they will get a clean tray to put over the cold stone, and they will get a clean scoop. None of their flavors have added things (you then tell them what you want mixed in to get your custom flavor), so there shouldn't be any gluten in the bucket of ice cream. We are dairy and gluten free, my kids love getting their sorbet, with a gluten-free add-in. And we've never had a reaction from there.

Good to know about Cold Stone. We have one near our house (we are gluten-free, not CF as well) and total ice cream junkies. I didn't know exactly how Cold Stone worked and I was afraid to ask.

That sounds like a great alternative to a scary scoop!

Here is what we do :)

I let them know that my daughter has a sever allergy (Just because I'm sick and tired of explaining what Celiac Disease is and they do what you want when you say allergy) Anyhow I ask them to use a clean scoop and I ask that they her ice cream from an unopened container. (I learned this from a friend who has a peanut allergy, she once had to go the the hospital because of ice cream... they scooped tin roof and then chocolate without rinsing the scoop first! She got a small piece of peanut in her ice cream!

Some places look at me like I am a crazy ladies... but most places think that its wonderful that I thought about that. 2 of the small mom and pop places have adopted this as there "allergy policy" and have it written up on a sign in their shop :) (One place even lets me bring in Gluten FRee ice cream cones when I have them, the others might as well I have not tried!)

Anyhow DD has not been glutened from ice cream... but I only let her have sweet cream or vanilla when we are out and about. The other flavors we reserve for home when I can control everything :)

hope that helps

We also go to Cold Stone Creamery on occasion.

We tell them she has allergies and ask that they get a new scoop and dish her sorbet from a new container from the back. We have not done any mix-ins. I don't think she has had any problems.

But, most of the time, I make her raspberry or lemon sorbet at home.

Hi, how about places that serve the soft serve ice cream? That usually just squirts out of a machine.

So of the flavors at cold stone DO have gluten in them! In the bucket of ice cream. I've asked before, and been given a list of allergens in both the ice creams and the mix-ins.

When I go to Coldstone which is usually during the winter months since I love going to the Ice Cream stand near us when it is open for the season. At Coldstone I get the Vanilla ice cream with the raspberrys and blueberries. I always ask for a clean scoop. I have not had a problem yet. I don't go too often though.

You can also have them get the ice cream (or sorbet, in our case) from a NEW container in the back. Then there is no x-contamination with the new container and new scoop.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
