Ice Cream

does anybody know any Ice cream that is gluten-free? That are real brands like Ben and Jerry's. I guess no one labels gluten-free because people will think it tastes worse

Chapman's has gluten-free and nut-free ice creams, and really nice sorberts for those with lactose issues.  We usually buy them because of nut allergies, and most ice creams run the risk of nut cc.

We eat Breyer's. Their website lists more than a dozen safe flavors. Obviously, you can not eat Cookies and Cream or some Brownie thing, but I feel confident that they clean between batches.

I usually get Eddys, too. I just read ingredients

Breyers has about 30 flavors labeled gluten free now, and Haagen das has a website showing gluten free flavors

Except for ones with obvious issues, like Oreo or cookie dough,  almost all ice creams are gluten-free. Read the label, as always, to be sure. The ice cream itself will almost certainly be gluten-free, you just have to worry about added content. Mainstream stuff like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and the like do not worry me.

Ben and Jerry's may not say gluten-free but if an ingredient was processed on the same line or facility as wheat, the label will tell you. I know that because I have checked out their peanut butter cup ice cream and those peanut butter cups ARE processed in the same facility.

 

I like Blue Bunny ice cream. At first I could only eat their all natural vanilla because all the others (like almost all ice creams execpt Ben and Jerrys and Hagen Daz) are sweetened with corn syrup and I had trouble with corn (although I don't anymore.) Well one day recently they were out of it so I got their regular vanilla. I didn't get sick but it sure doesn't taste anywhere near as good as the all natural so I won't get that again.

I like Edy's too! I called them last week just to double check and they said they will list wheat on the label if it has any in it. Just beware if it says cookies or cake you know it has wheat in it. I usually stick with Neopolitan or mint chocolate chip. :)

Most ice cream is ok, just be sure to read the ingredients.  I splurge on a chocolate Dove bar now and then.  Most brands are ok.  Ice cream parlors where they dig out of open cartons is a separate issue and I won't indulge there.

Ingredients are listed on the side of all cartons. Dairy (milk) and sugar are safe for celiacs, although some celiacs are milk sugar (lactose) intolerant.

      Thank you for sharing your experience, Florence. It’s important to clarify, though, that proteins like zein in corn, panicin in millet, and kafirin in sorghum are not considered gluten and have not been shown to trigger the same autoimmune intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. Some people with celiac disease do report symptoms with certain gluten-free grains, oats, or other foods, but that reflects individual intolerance or sensitivity—not a proven “gluten-mimic” effect that damages the small intestine. Certified gluten-free oats are considered safe for most people with celiac disease, though a small subset may react to avenin. If specific foods consistently cause symptoms for you, it makes sense to avoid them personally, but it’s helpful for readers to know that these foods are still medically classified as gluten-free and generally safe for the broader celiac community.

      It’s true that awareness of celiac disease can vary among physicians, particularly outside of gastroenterology, and many patients end up educating their own providers. Reaching out to someone you trusted for 25 years makes sense if you felt heard and supported. That said, celiac disease management often benefits from a team approach, including a knowledgeable primary care provider and, when needed, a gastroenterologist or dietitian familiar with gluten-related disorders. Advocating for yourself is not unreasonable—it’s part of managing a chronic condition. If your current provider relationship isn’t working, it’s appropriate to seek care where you feel respected and properly supported.

      I understand why that feels concerning. Some Schär products use specially processed wheat starch that has had the gluten removed to meet strict gluten-free standards (under 20 ppm in the U.S. and EU), which is why they can legally and safely be labeled “gluten free” for people with celiac disease. However, wheat must still be listed in the ingredients and allergen statement because it is derived from wheat, even though the gluten protein has been removed. For individuals with a true wheat allergy, these products are not appropriate—but for those with celiac disease, properly tested gluten-free wheat starch is considered safe under current medical guidelines. That said, it’s completely reasonable to prefer products made without wheat starch if that gives you greater confidence, and clearer front-of-package communication could certainly help reduce confusion for shoppers.

      I have enjoyed Schar's gluten free products for years. However, some items Do contain Wheat and are not clearly labeled on the front. Indeed the package states 'gluten free' on the front, and it is not until you read the ingredient label that one see's wheat as the first ingredient. Some celiacs may be willing to take a chance on this 'gluten free wheat', but not me. I strongly feel that the labeling for these wheat containing products should be clearly labeled on the front, with prehaps a different color and not using the 'no gluten symbol on the front. The products are not inexpensive, and also dangerous for my health!
