It's hot out there and I was wondering if anyone out there knows of some great tasting ice creams or sorbets that are safe? I'm not a big fan of the coconut milks or soy milks stuff either. I just bought some of the Chloe's bars to give them a taste but I miss my Ice Cream! Any suggestions that won't make me regret eating it later?

Lots of ice creams and sorbets are safe.  Read the ingredients.  Obviously don't get things like cookie dough flavor.

Mc Donald's soft serve ice cream is also safe, correct?

-_- Depends on the facility, they make those mixes in huge buckets then pour over into the machine, there is a chance for CC there big time. But yes the base ingredients are safe....not sure of the machine, the idiot mixing it, or the device used to mix it.

 

On icecream there are plenty of gluten free and even gluten free certified ones, NOTE a lot of celiacs have issues with dairy starting off due to damaged villi not producing enough enzymes to break down the lactose. You might have to drop dairy for a few months for healing if it gives you issues. 

On this last note there are plenty of dairy free options like so delicious makes gluten-free certified diary free bars, and pints. if you need a sugar free option in addition I might suggest Wink who make gluten free and sugar free ice creams and you can even order these online and have them shipped to you, and they do have cookie dough and cake batter flavors gluten-free lol Open Original Shared Link

Wow, had no idea Haagen Dazs had gluten free options anywhere. I hope the same is the case here in Canada.

Friendlys?  Just be careful.  Cross contamination is the risk here or any ice cream shop.  To be safe, ask for a them to use a clean scooper and to use a fresh tub of ice cream.  Always confirm that the items are gluten free.  Managers can run to the grocery store if they run out of their own products.    So that fudge sauce (or whatever) might not be gluten free for the day.

The only thing that worries me is the cross contamination risk in the plants. Around Cincinnati they have graeters. This is the best damn ice cream there is. If you look at their website though, every flavor is listed as gluten-free, even the cookie dough. I try to get in touch with them but never can get a response. Their Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip is the best there is. When I got out of basic training I ate 2 pints in about 15 minutes. Loved it. Turkeyhill makes a gluten-free list.  They're not that bad but just worried about the CC.

I would be worried too, going there to eat because in the past I've had such careless service in general at our local one, I'd hate to trust them to not cross-contaminate. But you can buy their ice cream at grocery stores, so I think the flavors they list on their website as gluten-free should be okay to get at the grocery store.  That at least is a plus.

I hope it's the same in your country.  Can you try emailing them and asking?  I just wish they were not so pricey.  I got some on sale, and it was so good.  But I am on a limited budget, so that is going to have to be a rare treat.  But a treat indeed! :)  I got rum raisin and ate it in two days.  I have a pineapple-coconut one also that I'm saving for some other day I get a sweet craving.

Yum, black raspberry chocolate chip sounds so good!  I always liked black raspberry in general, and putting chocolate jimmies on it.  I bet the chocolate chips are even better.

I did email Nestle re their Haagen Dazs ice creams and I'm pretty happy with their response:

I eat Haagen Dazs with no issues and it is delicious!  I know that vanilla, vanilla bean,  strawberry and chocolate are all labelled gluten free too.  They have these new Trios that look amazing...my husband assures me that they are!  They aren't labelled gluten free, although no gluten ingredients.  They have so though and I can't have that.

I also eat Breyers Natural Vanilla with no issues and it's really good too.

I don't think they're labelled gluten-free here in Canada but I trust they are. I'm sure my daughter (she has Celiac and hence we are all gluten-free in the family) will love them.

So from what the customer service said, it sounds like it is the same in Canada as the US?  But very handy to know that all you have to do is read the ingredients and it will be very clear and easy to figure out what flavors might contain gluten.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
