breyer's ice cream?

I occasionally eat the breyer's lactose free ice cream, and have noticed before that it makes me feel a bit bloated which is why I don't eat it very often. However, the last time I had it I felt VERY bloated for the rest of the night and felt 'off' for the next day or two. That was about two weeks ago. Then last night I ate some and the same thing happened. Now today I've been feeling bloated and just crumby. It almost feels like I was cross contaminated or something. But the ice cream is labeled gluten free, so I'm assuming it was something else. Has anyone else had this problem? I've been realizing that I seem to be having problems with a lot more things now.. food coloring, artificial sweeteners and stevia, and possibly eggs. So I wouldn't be surprised. Just wondering if anyone has an idea of what ingredient could it might be. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Bryers says on their packaging they are gluten free. Perhaps you are reacting to something else in their ice cream.  Could it by you are dairy intolerant instead of lactose intolerant?

We eat Breyers all the time!  Never have been glutened.  We make sure the little green gluten-free icon is on then package as they do make other ice cream with cookies, etc.  Based on their website it should be on a separate line if I recall.  

What other dairy do you consume?  If it is just hard cheese and yogurt, those contain a lot less lactose than ice cream.  It does have Tara gum in it but not the Xanthan gum that I react to and avoid!

Ingredients in the lactose free vanilla from Bryer's website:

It could be the carrageenan. Then again, it could be something else in it.

We eat the Natural Vanilla:

MILK, CREAM, SUGAR, VEGETABLE GUM (TARA), NATURAL FLAVOR. Ingredients and Nutrition Facts are current as of August 2015. Please see shelf packaging for any changes. Nutrition Facts may vary in high altitude areas.

      A question - eggs & dairy

      By Lotte18 · Posted

      I went back to consuming dairy after a year of healed villi.  What I didn't know is that along with developing celiac, my pancreas was no longer producing enough enzyme to consume lactose.  My GI said he often sees this with celiac patients.  Some people can go back to dairy with no problems at all and others will develop odd symptoms like ataxia--balance issues, etc.-- for no apparent reason.  It took me a year of suffering to get it all straightened out.  Hope this saves you some time!

      Blood results

      Do you know what the lab's standard range is for the IgA tTG2 result? The Endomysial IgA basically tests for the same antibodies as IgA tTG2 but it uses an older, less sensitive method and the result is positive/negative rather than quantitative. Hence, it is possible to show raised IgA tTG2 antibodies without getting a positive test for Endomysial IgA antibodies.

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly

      Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Allegra is an antihistamine.  Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful.  Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods.  Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food.  Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily.  Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.  SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels.  Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat.  We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria.  We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them.   The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish.   Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO.   Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems.
