Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows if the Great Value (Wal-mart Brand) ice cream cups are gluten free or not. I think they have vanilla and choc.

Thanks,

Kasey's Mom

Hi,

I'm not sure if these are similiar to Hoodies or not. I looked at them last night and they're plastic cups with paper lids. I couldn't find a phone number to contact the company. I called our local Wal-mart and they didn't have any idea. There's an allergy warning on the back for nuts and milk but it doesn't say anything about gluten. My child is also allergic to eggs. We're going to a church function and this is what they're feeding the kids. I know that Rice Dream isn't gluten-free but does anyone know about the vanilla Rice Dream ice cream? Maybe I could pick up safe ice cream and just put it in a bowl for her.

Thanks,

Kasey's Mom

I get Mayfield or Edy's Ice Cream for my daughter and me. Both companies list their gluten-free flavors on their websites.

Thanks Nisla,

I think that's our best bet. I was alittle concerned that there was no phone number to contact the company listed. Also, there were some many ingredients and additives in the ice cream. This is our first major function where my daughter has been around other children eating foods that she can't. So far they've have choc. chip cookies, gold fish and pb. crackers and fruit drinks with carmel color. I've heard a lot of people talking abou how sorry they feel for her. I know this will be a challenge for a long time to come. One mom who was trying to be helpful said, "I'll move my kids to another table." Luckily we got her to stay....not being able to eat like the other children and then eating alone would have been the worst! I have no idea why I'm rambling but oh well! :lol:

Thanks again,

Kasey's Mom

Yes. Edys has the gluten-free flavors on their flavor finder if you check "gluten-free". Haagen-Dazs will send you a gluten-free list. I don't know about eggs, but I think you can choose egg-free on the Edy's website flavor finder, as well.

yw... hope it helps

with my daughter, I try to find out in advance what the other kids will be eating and bring as close of a gluten-free version as I can! OR, I provide the snack for ALL the kids!

At church I have sent a big bag of Glutino pretzels for the kids, or made a chocolate chip cookie cake out of The Gluten Free Pantry's Chocolate Chip Cookie mix, or made Pamela's brownies... The kids all love it and my daughter doesn't feel left out.

at school, I try to coordinate her menu with the schools menu. And about once a month I'll send in enough food for them to do a special lunch for her entire class that she gets to share.

sure it costs me a little extra to do this, but to me the smile on my daughter's face when she feels "normal" is worth it all. Most of the kids in her classes at school and at church have discovered they really like the foods that I send with her. This also helps her learn to share!

If I knowthe menu ahead of time I send my daughter with gluten-free versions so she has the same types of food. After awhile though, she got to the point where she did not mind not having the same food. She has her moments though! Now she is 11 and a bit old for birthday parties, but when she was younger many of her friends asked her what she wanted because they did not want her to feel left out! It was sweet the way some students would come into school with things for her when they brought cupcakes and such for birthdays.

Thanks so much for all the wonderful ideas! You all are so creative. She has a birthday coming up so I've been trying to decided what type of cake to do. The choc. chip cookie cake is a really neat idea. I had gotten a little used to baking gluten-free but the last two weeks without eggs has been really challenging. They are having a cake tomorrow so I thought I would make cupcakes to take.

Tonight I went with the ice cream that I knew was safe! I got a bowl of ice cream just like she had and she seemed so excited.

Nisla-I made playdough for her class to use a bible school and they had a ball. The teacher couldn't believe how soft the dough was. Thanks again!

You are so very welcome! I'm glad that our experience can help someone else and I'm glad the play dough worked out for you!

I even went out and bought an ice cream maker from Wal Mart so that I can make a very basic ice vanilla ice cream and add crumbled up Mi-del wheat free/gluten free sandwich cookies (like Oreo's) and I make my own cookies and cream ice cream! I haven't tried cookie dough yet but I'm thinking of trying cookie dough ice cream next!

Nisla, I'm going to fish out my old ice-cream maker. The cookies and cream and cookie dough ideas sound wonderful. I thought about making ice cream sandwitches with vanilla and gluten-free choc. chip cookies.

I thought I had tried the Glutino pretzels but it was the seseame pretzels from Ener-g. I think I saw the big bag of Glutino pretzels for $5.69 or so.

Thanks. :)

If someone tries the cookie dough ice cream could you please post how it comes out? Maybe note any problems? I think my daughter would love cookie dough ice cream. Of course, I suppose I could stop being lazy and try this myself, but I do not want to invest in an ice cream machine if I won't be using it, and I will but one if I can get her cookie dough ice cream.

ok, I made homeade ice cream today and in the bucket style ice cream maker (Rival) I just mixed the basic ingredients, Milk, Cream, Sugar, Vanilla, dash salt, chilled for 30 minutes then poured into the canister, churned it for about 30 minutes with Rock Salt and Ice in the bucket (on the outside of the canister) once it was done I took the "dasher" (mixing blade) out and stirred in my crumbled up Mi-Del gluten-free cookies. Then I packed the ice cream into a plastic container and put into the freezer to give it a "hard freeze", it will be ready tomorrow.

I have also done this before with cookie dough. I use the gluten-free Pantry's Chocolate Chip cookie dough recipe and form small round balls, place on cookie sheet and freeze overnite or until ready to use. Add these after removing "dasher" like I did with crumbled cookies. Mix well then pack into plastic container and hard freeze. It turns out great!

Yummy Nisla,

I use a Cuisinart ice cream maker. I freeze the bowl before I use it and you don't use the salt or ice. I love my ice cream maker but I really need an extra bowl for big batches. I seem to crave homemad ice cream at this time of the year. Usually my ice cream maker lays dormate during the winter months. :D I love to make frozen yogurt wtih fruit. I also have several recipes for sorbet. Our favorite sorbet is pink grapefruit.

Can't wait to try your recipes...this would be a great addition to birthday cake! :)

Thank you for the recipe. I think I am going to get an ice cream maker. I think my daughter will love it. Are all of the rock salts gluten-free? I do not know exactly what one I will get and the rock salt has been a concern. Do you find it is available year round? We had a Rival when I was little, but stopped using it because we had trouble finding the salt. Thanks!!

I've tried both Glutano and Mi-del...a long time ago, though...don't remember which one I liked more. I think Mi-del had a much more realistic cookie part, and Glutano had a slightly sweeter icing...don't remember very well, though.

Does anyone know the website for Mi-del? We have food allergies so I wanted to check the ingredient lists.

Thanks for the information!

Thanks for the link! I found that a company I already order from carries the cookies and list the ingredients on their website.

Thanks again for the help.

      Gluten-free bread

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Checkouts gluten-free recipes at twww.redstaryeast.com We tried a bread machine years ago and weren’t happy with results. Bread machines have pre-set rise & bake times.  Unfortunately, the program doesn’t adjust to slight differences when measuring, relative humidity or temperature of ingredients & in kitchens.  Lots of efforts for ONE odd- sized loaf that hard to cut into useable slices.  College-aged son found best use for bread machine was as heavy duty mixer that ‘kept dust in the box.’  He would pre-measure ingredients for 2-3 loaves & use machine mix up individual batches.      Since gluten-free bread needs  to rise only once, each recipe of dough went into a loaf pan. Pans sat counter to rise—time dependent of temp in kitchen. Then, baked in oven until he, not machine, decided it was done.     Took ~10 min extra up front to measure & mix additions but adds nothing to rise & bake times.     Loaves are great for slicing (Slice extra before freezing!). One mess to clean up, saves time & energy since you need to bake  as is half as often (If  you plan to bake lots more than bread, opt for KitchenAid/ heavy duty mixer instead.  Cover with dish towel to capture dust!)     Personally, I’m sure I had as a kid since I’ve never been a fan  of bread. .  Have been wrapping corn tortillas around things for 40+ years.  Can still get a dozen 12-pks of tortillas for same or less than price as 1 load of gluten-free bread. PLUS. the tortillas have more nutrients!

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By CelestialScribe · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. You are lucky because in Korean food, many classic meals such as bibimbap without sauce, barbecue meats and some kinds of soups generally do not have gluten. But it is a good idea to confirm with the restaurant workers for safety reasons. Regarding certain locations, I enjoy going to places such as Plant in Seoul and Sprout in Busan. Moreover, using applications like HappyCow or TripAdvisor can assist you to discover additional choices in the regions you plan to visit. One big tip: it is good to know some important Korean sentences, for example 'I cannot eat gluten' (geulluteuneul meogeul su eopseoyo)  or 'Does this have gluten?' (igeoe neun geulluteuni deureo innayo?) because they can be very helpful. If you are considering getting a local guide, I'd suggest this one https://gowithguide.com/korea They were very helpful when I needed to find places with gluten-free food options because they provide tours tailored to your preferences. Good luck with your travels! 🍻

      It is concerning.  Unfortunately a lot of doctors don’t know a lot about celiac disease, even some gastroenterologists.  Here is an article for you: Celiac disease and miscarriage I hope you have a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby!

      Undiagnosed (and thus untreated) celiac disease is associated with a higher chance of miscarriage. The downside of continuing to eat gluten now is increased chance of miscarriage. The downside of stopping gluten now and having to restart later to get a clear, official diagnosis is that you might have worse symptoms eating gluten after being gluten free, but it wouldn’t affect your baby. I know which one I would choose!
