Oops. No More Ice Cream Store Stops For Us.

I carefully checked the ingredients in the icecream treat never thinking about cross contamination from the scoop. My 3 year old feels miserable and I feel stupid.

Any tips to avoid this or do we just need to stick with Wendy's Frostys?

We haven't been brave enough to try stopping for ice cream at a place. It's either a Frosty or we buy it at the grocery store to eat at home. Ice cream scoops seem scary! All that gluten touching going on. Our one exception was when we were eating out at a restaurant and the manager opened a new container for DD so she could have ice cream on her birthday.

Ben & Jerry's scoop shop and Baskin Robbins are great places to go. They'll let you know if something has gluten (or look it up for you - B & R actually lists the 8 major allergens on their flavors, B & J has ingredients on hand), wash the scoops in a separate fawcett (sp?) so there isn't residue from other scoops, and scoop from a clean, untouched place. We go to both places semi-regularly and have never had a problem. It is, in fact, the only "restaurant" our kids eat at ;)

We go to Cold Stone Creamery. Tell them you have allergies, they will get a clean tray to put over the cold stone, and they will get a clean scoop. None of their flavors have added things (you then tell them what you want mixed in to get your custom flavor), so there shouldn't be any gluten in the bucket of ice cream. We are dairy and gluten free, my kids love getting their sorbet, with a gluten-free add-in. And we've never had a reaction from there.

Good to know about Cold Stone. We have one near our house (we are gluten-free, not CF as well) and total ice cream junkies. I didn't know exactly how Cold Stone worked and I was afraid to ask.

That sounds like a great alternative to a scary scoop!

Here is what we do :)

I let them know that my daughter has a sever allergy (Just because I'm sick and tired of explaining what Celiac Disease is and they do what you want when you say allergy) Anyhow I ask them to use a clean scoop and I ask that they her ice cream from an unopened container. (I learned this from a friend who has a peanut allergy, she once had to go the the hospital because of ice cream... they scooped tin roof and then chocolate without rinsing the scoop first! She got a small piece of peanut in her ice cream!

Some places look at me like I am a crazy ladies... but most places think that its wonderful that I thought about that. 2 of the small mom and pop places have adopted this as there "allergy policy" and have it written up on a sign in their shop :) (One place even lets me bring in Gluten FRee ice cream cones when I have them, the others might as well I have not tried!)

Anyhow DD has not been glutened from ice cream... but I only let her have sweet cream or vanilla when we are out and about. The other flavors we reserve for home when I can control everything :)

hope that helps

We also go to Cold Stone Creamery on occasion.

We tell them she has allergies and ask that they get a new scoop and dish her sorbet from a new container from the back. We have not done any mix-ins. I don't think she has had any problems.

But, most of the time, I make her raspberry or lemon sorbet at home.

Hi, how about places that serve the soft serve ice cream? That usually just squirts out of a machine.

So of the flavors at cold stone DO have gluten in them! In the bucket of ice cream. I've asked before, and been given a list of allergens in both the ice creams and the mix-ins.

When I go to Coldstone which is usually during the winter months since I love going to the Ice Cream stand near us when it is open for the season. At Coldstone I get the Vanilla ice cream with the raspberrys and blueberries. I always ask for a clean scoop. I have not had a problem yet. I don't go too often though.

You can also have them get the ice cream (or sorbet, in our case) from a NEW container in the back. Then there is no x-contamination with the new container and new scoop.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
