I don't think so. The reason being, that rice dream isn't gluten free, so I assume that ice cream made with it is not gluten free, either. Sorry to disappoint you.

Thanks for actually finding the answer, instead of making assumptions, like I did this time! Maybe I can even have it (even though not to find something else I can't have in the ingredients list is a long shot).

Good grief, I must crave something nice enough to turn my brain off completely sometimes, I am intolerant to RICE! Anyway, I am glad you can have it at least. ;)

I actually didn't like it at all, i thought it was pretty gross, and didn't taste at all like ice cream.

It's all personal taste.

Betty --So it's good? I've never had it, but have thought about trying it. I do like Sharon's Sorbet. It has cane sugar instead of corn syrup. But you can't put chocolate topping on it..... :D Are you feeling any better? Been worried about you!

I use toffutti brand (wildberry is my favorite one at least the one that tastes most like ice cream to me although the vanilla almond bark is pretty tasty as well) Sometimes I use So Delisous...it comes in mint chocolate and a really decent strawberry but the chocolate is pretty good too. but my favorite thing is to make my own smoothies from frozen fruit(usually berries) bananas, pinapple juice and cocunut cream (some brands are just cocunut milk with suger added)....wizz in the blender with some ice and eat up. Way better then ice cream...and healther too.

Oh yeah sometimes i get edey's whole fruit too.

i've had the rice dream...it is pretty decent... if you are looking for icecream alternatives--dairy free. maybe ck out the icecream recipe using Vance's dairy free. supposed to be pretty good--i can point you in the right direction if you are interested.

Hi Jen--I have that recipe! Now, I need to get an ice cream maker--have never owned one!!! I'm looking forward to trying it, though. Need to reorder Vances--have you tried it yet?

If you can handle Soy, try Turtle Mountain Soy creams!!!

Please note that some of their "purely decadent" flavors (like the chocolate brownie) do have gluten in them. Though they test their products (ELISA test) for gluten, and other allerges, I have had reactions to their specialty flavor lines(particularly the Cherry Vanilla), I suspec these share the same lines, but I'm real sensitive. I still with their Soy Delicous flavors, chocolate, vanilla, and neapolitin. With these my family has not had any issues.

Especially the chocolate covered soy cream bars....I ate a box of them (There are 3 in a box) last night!

I haven't tried the Rice Dream Ice Cream, but I try not to shop at Whole Lotta Money. I absolutely love Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey though.

I love toffutti! So far, that's the best brand that I've found (wildberry is the best).

I have the recipe too, but am on a tight budget and really can't order it, paying the shipping etc. someday I hope

I tried soy ice cream [toffuti] I had terrible stomach pain, but when I make my rice dish with soy I'm ok..weird!

Betty--I know--the shipping is high! I've been talking to the manager of my local health food store in hopes of them carrying it. I printed off the info from the website and included the phone number. I'm becoming a pest :unsure:

It isn't BAD, it's just nowhere near Baskin Robbins or anything. I've eaten it.. still in freezer.. but it doesn't quite hit the spot the same as good ol' regular ice cream does.

Rice cheese tates like crap, so I guess rice-as-dairy doesn't really fly that well?

I've had the rice dream strawberry ice cream... it is okay as an ice cream substitute but only cause I haven't seen anything else I can have in any stores (can't have soy now)... doesn't compare to even a bad ice cream place on the jersey shore though but it's decent for what it is... could be worth a shot if you can't have soy/dairy and want to try something.. be careful about the flavor though cause I was checking one that had malted barley..

I've only tried the vanilla flavor of rice dream ice cream. I personally didn't care for it, it had a odd aftertaste for me.

I have looked for Sharon's Sorbets in my health food stores and they don't carry it. I wish they would, I went to the website and they aren't nationwide.

I might get an ice cream maker and start experimenting with my own recipes for ice cream's and sorbets.

      Is this celiac?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
