According to my Clan Thompson list Ben & Jerrys Phish, Hershey's syrup and Junior Mints are gluten free. It didn't list the Real Branch Whipped Cream (at least I couldn't find it).

According to Tootsie Roll Industries, all their products are made gluten-free. (If you start reading the manufacturers, they make a lot of good stuff!) :lol:

Vincent- I found this discalimer about Kroger on the Delphi list:

Kroger (800.382.5219) (vp=05/22/02)

WARNING: Krogers said their ingredients may change and to call for verification…they will not send out a list…they will only confirm it over the phone but are very helpful.

Private Selection (Kroger Brand) Hot Cocoa Mix was lsited as gluten-free but you might want to call and check. Any cross-contamination possibilities?

We did call once, a little while back, and the ingredient list looked fine. I guess CC is always possible

I had the skin test for milk, and no reaction. I have considered going dairy free for a bit.. but kept puting it off till I was gluten-free for a bit to tell them apart, but I dont think its a dariy issue.. but admit it could be. (as I sit here eating mint chocloate chip breyers! LOL)

I would consider cross contamination with one of the products. Maybe try contacting all four companies and ask them if there is a high risk of cross contamination.

According to the info I got directly from Ben and Jerry's, ingredients and suppliers change and they will not guarantee any flavor as being gluten free.

Nini, this is from thier site..

If our product contains gluten, its presence would be indicated on the label by the words “wheat flour” or “flour.” Should any of our products contain those grains (wheat, flour, barley, oats, rye, etc.) the label would reference them. We understand that there are tricky ways that gluten can be missed. We assure you that we have researched our ingredients carefully, and we know exactly what is going into our ice cream.

(from Open Original Shared Link )

THat kind fo disagrees with your information? :huh:

yeah well, I can't be responsible for what their customer service rep told me on the phone... I didn't check the website, just called the number on the container... I have avoided Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream based on that phone call... trying to remember when that was, at least a year ago so maybe the info has changed. Which would be good. :)

:lol:

Well maybe the rep was consfused because they do refuse to put out a gluten-free list, but they state that they clearly disclose gluten. Which may just be too much to follow for the rep you spoke with...

And its not realy a good thing, too much B&J will bankrupt you! :o

This is what they say about providing a gluten-free list..

Ben and Jerry’s is a member of the Food Allergy Network and the Food Allergy Resource and Research Program. Upon the advice of these consumer and industry groups we do not provide a list of flavors that do not contain gluten. There is always a concern with any list that the list would be replicated and the end recipients would not receive updates that would be required with a formulation change. The safe approach recommended by these organizations is to read the label each time a purchase is made. We are very sorry that we can not provide you with a list. Recognizing that reading food labels can be time-consuming and tedious, we wish to encourage you in your daily effort to read all food labels, as it is the best way for us to insure that you receive the information you need to make an informed and confident choice.

Vincent,

I'd double and triple check the whipped cream. If that's the kind in a can, I believe they often use something to stabalize it. Most brands use powdered sugar, but I think flour can be used as a stabalizer also. So it's possible that there was a little wheat flour in it.

The best, absolutely best, ice cream substitute is Sharon's Coconut Sorbet, found at Trader Joe's and maybe elsewhere. It's white, rich and creamy. My kids will gladly pass up regular ice cream for it, but it's a little spendy. Just thinking about it makes me want to break my diet...

Liz--does that come in any other flavors? I can't eat cocoanut :angry: . It sounds really good, and I have a TJ's nearby. Thanks

It comes in Raspberry, Passion Fruit and one other flavor that we don't ever get. The Passion Fruit is really good mixed with Vanilla Rice Dream. Okay, now I'm salivating and it's only 10 am here. And I've been doing so well on my diet (lost 4 pound, 21 to go!).

Way to go, keep up the good work with the diet! So, I don't have a TJ where I am, any others places or products? Is the Vanilla Rice Dream dairy free?

The coconut sorbet from TJ's IS the best ice creamy substitute ever!!! If you don't have a TJ's, and can tolerate a little bit of soy, I like the Soy Delicious ice creams as well (I guess they just changed the name of it to So Delicious). Here's a link to the gluten-free section of their website and a chart that indicates which of their products are gluten-free:

I really like the Vanilla flavors...and the Butter Pecan!

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
