Ben And Jerrys Ice Cream

Hi Folks,  I was wondering if you think Ben and Jerrys ice cream is okay to eat, I picked some up from the supermaket and looked at the label and there was nothing on that label that led me to believe I shouldnt eat it, does this sound right to you?

 

They were Chunky Monkey and New York Super Fudge Chunk.

 

I just feel like I need to be reassured that I am reading things right..thanks a lot.

I don't know the ingredients on these flavors, but I would eat some Ben and Jerrys flavors. I am assuming from a carton from the grocery? I would be extra careful at a store where they dip the ice cream and put it on cones. Cones often break and drop crumbs in the big tubs of ice cream.

Edit to say: Duh! z said from the grocery! :)

Ben and Jerrys is okay if there is nothing in the ice cream like baked stuff/cookies/cookie dough, so a readover of the ingredient list will let you know.  Their policy is to disclose gluten containing ingredients on the label (Open Original Shared Link) 

 

I love their caramel core one... I can't buy it, I devour it.

do they have Talenti?  Except for 2? cookie flavors, they are gluten-free.  Sea salt caramel...........so good.....  Some people have seen them at Walmart - so they are pretty widely available.

I guess its a trade-off - beautiful views, weather, beaches....  or cold, pollen, traffic and lots of ice cream flavors!   :lol:

Do they have flavored yogurts? You could freeze them. They are ice cream like. Also, regular pudding is yummy frozen. Can you get Jello pudding mixes? Or make some homemade? They do the frozen fruit stuff there, don't they? That's yummy but it's not ice cream. Maybe you could make ice cream?

yes I could look at the yogurts too, but you really cant beat ice cream! I might start making my own at some point, but I do love Ben and Jerrys!  In fact I am off now to tuck into the banana and walnut flavour yum!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      That’s really frustrating, I’m sorry you went through that. High fiber can definitely cause sudden stomach issues, especially if your body isn’t used to it yet, but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things ...

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled...

      Just diagnosed today

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.

Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things with cleaning and separating baking—also watch shared toasters, cutting boards, and labels like “may contain.”

The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
