breyer's ice cream?

[1398-Days]

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!

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