My wife suffers from celiac and craves ice cream every now and then. I thought I'd google up gluten free ice creams and came up with a forum (that was 2 years old) on the different brands that offer / claim they are gluten free.

We tried Breyers (Natural Vanilla) and a few moments later she becomes ill (Burping, stomach bubbles).

Can anyone recommend a tested gluten free ice cream?

Thank you for your time, this is my first post

I eat ice cream all the time. I love Breyers and have never had issues. Unfortunatly I am sensitive. However, I understand that others could have reactions when I do not. Most ice creams are safe except the obvious gluten ones. Is is possible that dairy is the problem? I am sure someone will respond that has another brand for you to try.

I get Breyers when I go to Giant, but I get the Wegmans brand when in their store, they put gluten free right on their products, I really enjoy the peanut butter cup ice cream.

Hm, she drinks milk often and occasionally eats mozarella cheese, so I dont think it's dairy.. I'll keep tabs on that thou.

She did have some Lays chips just before (from an open bag.. crosscontamination?)

Thanks for the replys too :)

Vanilla extract has to be alcohol free to be gluten free.

Lots of vanilla flavored foods are NOT gluten free.

I don't eat vanilla ice cream because I've been glutened by it.

My husband is sensitive and cannot eat Lay's products without getting a tummy ache. That could definately be the problem. Best of luck!

Brendygirl-

Research in the last few years has changed that info on vanilla/alcohol. The vanilla was once thought to be a problem because of the alcohol possibly being a grain alcohol used. However, research now shows that the distillation process of it would eliminate the worry so therefore most vanillas should be fine. Hope that helps you.

I've been frustrated by the number of ice creams that have brownie/cookie/cake batter etc. in them these days....

But also, I have problems with soy. Ice cream almost always has soy. I know it's controversial about the soy/celiac links...but maybe it's worth considering that.

I know for a while there was concern about Bourbon Vanilla. People thought the alcohol in the extract was actually bourbon. But from what i understand, Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla is just the vanilla type, and no bourbon is involved.

I've gotten to the point where I make my own now. It's too frustrating. The only place I can confirm is gluten free is my own house.

I have a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker (it's the ICE-20) model, they are like $49.99. I got mine free from free cycle and washed it really really really good before using.

The recipe I like best is to take jello pudding mix, mix with cream and then blend in the ice cream machine. It chills in about 20 minutes, then firm in about 1. SO SO good.

My hubby now likes it better than store bought. :D

That sounds very good....I wish I had some right now, do you think you can magically make some appear on my desk :)

Although I can't speak to CC on any specific ice cream, the fact is that most flavors of virtually every brand of ice cream are gluten-free, excluding, of course, obvious things like cookies and cream. If the ice cream has wheat the wheat has to be listed, and if it has barley, you'll almost always find it listed as malt or malt flavoring.

As to the original poster, the potato chips were much more likely to be the cause of he trouble than the Breyer's vanilla. Over the years I've read of many problems with CC in Lays products.

I don't know what differences in standars there are between Germany and here....but when I was there over the holidays, I noticed that many lays brands had wheat products listed in the ingredients (!) where the same flavors...well, I can't really compare exactly. I never saw wheat in corn chips here before, but didn't really eat them that often.

And now I just assume that whether it's listed or not, wheat is in the flavoring of most flavored corn-chips. In fact, wheat was listed in almost every brand of chip I looked at there....it must have been used in the flavor coating. It really made me wonder whether some chips here also have it, and maybe haven't been labeling. Anyhow, if I remember, it was in BBQ, Cool Ranch, some kind of spicy chip, .... and you know, they can't possibly have a separate facility for each flavor they make :rolleyes: so chances for CC must be high....

(Of course, to be fair, it's also possible that they market different formulations in different countries.)

Open Original Shared Link makes gluten free (and nut free) ice creams. Don't know whether it's available in the US though.

For what its worth, my husband who has been celiac for 20 years, can eat all kinds of cheese and cottage cheese and eats a lot of both; but when it comes to milk and ice cream, he just can't tolerate them. I know it sounds strange, but both give him a tummy ache, bloating and burping.

Does anyone that makes their own Ice-cream use Lactose Free milk? Does it work?

I might invest in an icecream maker if I could make Lactose-Free, gluten free ice cream.

Did you ever hear of a brand called Turkey Hill? If you call their 800 number they will also send you a ton of coupons for their ice creams. They will also tell you the obvious ones that have gluten...the ones that have cake or brownies etc...added into them.

So very fond of plain vanilla and add smuckers hot fudge...both gluten free.

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
