Some ice creams do have gluten in them as a binder - they will usually say "wheat starch" or "modified food starch"

Some ice creams are ok. Breyer's is all natural and is only milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla or whatever.

Good luck!!

I actually find alot of choices in Icre Cream.... the 3 brands I have been eating (which eve is on sale)

Breyers, Eddy's and PRivate Selection (aka Kroger brand) - all flavors gluten-free execpt the odvious ones liek "Coookie Dough"

Ben and Jerry's, and Baskin Robbins are also the same way, but alot more expensive. :D Probably alot others, but thats just the ones I use....

I like Breyers. I am pretty much into just vanilla or chocolate anyhow, you have to careful of the funky flavours. I read the label everytime I buy it, though, just to be sure. In Canada there is also a gluten-free brand called Chapmans that is pretty good. There is a wicked ice cream shop (family business) near here, their basic flavours are gluten-free, so I ordered it in a cup and as I was eating it, I crunched into a bit of cone that must have fallen into the tub. So much for that treat. BUT, they do also sell it in factory packaged 1L tubs, so I can still get it like that. I was kinda bummed though, about getting contaminated like that.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-...

      Chest pain from celiac

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:
