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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      @Ginger38, Are you taking a B Complex vitamin? Vitamin D? Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.

      But for someone with Barrett's like @Charlie1946, long term PPI therapy might be necessary.

      Thanks for your reply I’m a nearly 69yr old female. My only medications are Fosamax and Lamotrigine for seizures. Thank you for that drugs.com link! There are soooo many common side effects for Reclast and almost nothing for Fosamax. Since it’s working well and I haven’t had any side effects from Fosamax (stomach bleeding, pain or upset) my doctor recommends it first over Reclast. Reclast is introduced into a vein thus bypassing the stomach which avoids all those stomach issues. But, once it’s in me, it’s there for a year or so. Any complications can’t be undone. With Reclast, I’m concerned about not being able to treat dental issues, several weeks of bone pain and the chance, although rare, of kidney damage. Plus all those other dozens of common side effects. It’s a very effective drug but looks pretty complicated to deal with. Hopefully I’m not just being a big chicken. In 2018 I fell and broke my ankle in two places. It took three screws to put it back together which is normal for that surgery. There was no mention of any difficulty or signs of bone loss. Thanks to my dog, I fell about a month ago onto a concrete floor with thin carpet. I landed on my left hip, then my spine, one vertebrae at a time, then clunked my head on the door frame. Twisted my wrist too. It was all in slow motion waiting to feel a crack that didn’t happen. Went to the ER tho. Amazingly, I didn’t even see any bruises. Thanks again for that link. I need to read through it some more. My doctor’s appt is next week when I’ll make the big decision.
