Reactions to So Delicious Ice Cream?


Bronzynski15

Good Morning,

A few days ago I had some Gluten Free So Delicious brand Ice Cream (second time actually). I had it because I also have a dairy reaction which I just found out I also have. Here we are about 2 days since I ate the Ice Cream and I have not been feeling great. You know the typical gluten exposure symptoms; gas, bloating, diarrhea, etc. I have been feeling great for about 3-4 months (Big Steps!!!) I have been pounding the water to help clear my system. I know So Delicious claims to clean their machinery, but I was wondering if someone else has experienced similar things with this brand. Thanks in advance! I love hearing what to community has to say!

My lactose intolerance resolved once I healed from celiac disease.  I buy Breyers which is labeled gluten-free on most of their ice creams.  Those are made in a dedicated facility.  No shared lines.  Sometimes piece of mind is priceless.  

Soy intolerances/allergies are common.  Sure it is not soy?  What about one of those gums?  

Some celiacs, like me, tend to be a bit more sensitive.  For others, they are not impacted.  

I am sorry that you are unwell.  Keep in mind that you might have picked up a stomach virus.  Not everything is due to celiac disease.

I do know that So Delicious claims to be gluten-free, but many ice creams, unfortunately, also use binders such as xanthan gum or guar gum, which can also produce reactions in some people. Do you recall any of the ingredients?

I also just tried a So Delicious gluten free ice cream and had a reaction. Upon further inspection of the label, it says, "Produced in a facility that also processes wheat." Unfortunately, I don't think it's a safe brand for me, because I am highly gluten sensitive.

Isn’t the So Delicious brand made with coconut milk?  I remember trying that at one time and it is gluten free but coconut milk is very high in fat.  It may be considered a good fat but fat is fat when it comes to eating it and I had to stop because it was the coconut milk and high fat content that got me.  Fat is hard to digest anyway so that may be the problem.

I just wanted to add that I can not tolerate coconut or any nuts (allergy).  Besides avoiding gluten, you might need to create a food journal to help you identify food intolerances.  If you are lucky, those intolerances might dissipate with healing.

I have been eating this for a while but I’ve been sick lately so I’m extra sensitive. I had it last night and got horribly sick from it. There was nothing else it could have been. I don’t know if it’s always been processed in a facility with wheat, I don’t remember seeing that on the back.

Did you check the ingredient label? They could have changed the formulation. Or, you have become more sensitive as you say, from the illness or just from the course of the disease. It could also be a reaction to some other nongluten ingredient like dairy which you have developed an intolerance to.

Microbial transglutaminase is used in ice cream as a texture enhancer.  It is technically an enzyme and part of the production process and as such is not required to be listed as an ingredient on the label.  

Microbial transglutaminase is used in baked goods, yogurt, ice cream, and processed foods, in both gluten free and nongluten-free foods.

Maybe this explains why I get so sick eating ice cream and last night yogurt!

I doubt it would be used in yogurt, but who knows? It would certainly be worth eliminating all dairy/casein for a few weeks, and keeping a food diary to see if you can link your issues with other foods/allergens.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
