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!

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
