Safe Ice Cream? Juices? Etc.

My son & husband were just diagnosed with Celiacs a few weeks ago. I'm reading & learning but having to do so in a hurry... I'm pregnant and due in a week. I have no energy & need to send loved ones to the stores for me. I just have a few questions that I was hoping someone could help me with. I'm great at doing research but I'm sure you know... LOTS to do at once.

*Which brands of ice creams are gluten free?

*What about juices? I'm trying to think of quick things I can let me son grab out of the cupboard- capri suns, boxed juice?

*I read that Coke was gluten free. What about pepsi?

And also, I need to watch out for things that say "natural flavor", correct?

Thanks for any quick, easy help you can offer right now. I just want to have him ready for when I go into the hospital.

Oh... and I should add... we are a SUPER healthy family, so don't let my juice, coke & ice cream scare you. ;-)

For juice boxes we go with Capri Sun. They are owned by Kraft who labels all hidden gluten. I always call to double check - it makes me feel better. And they confirmed Capri Sun was gluten-free. Also there is Juicy Juice, Apple & Eve, and Welches brand juices are gluten-free.

Ice Cream - we go with Edy's. Their website lists ice cream by flavors with ingredients and whether or not gluten is present - which is only like in the flavors with cookies and obvious stuff like that.

Coke and Pepsi products are gluten-free.

I hope that helps out some.

Ice cream is usually clearly labled if it contains wheat or not. Sometimes I send my husband to the store with a cell phone and have him read the ingrediants to me over the phone if he is unsure. Good luck!

To the OP, Congrats on your baby! I may be totally out of line saying this, so feel free to shut me up, I was just wondering if you were going to keep the baby gluten free also since your husband and son have celiacs. Since you are so new to this, you may not be aware of all the research pointing autism to be linked with celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Im pregnant also and have celiacs, and have been doing a lot of research on autistic kids linked with undiagnosed celiacs being on gluten filled formula's and food when they were infants. Again, Im sorry if I am out of line, I just wanted to pass along some information from one pregnant mom to another.

Thank you :) and NO, you're not out of line. I plan on nursing this baby (as I did my son for 2.5 years) & I plan on being gluten free, as well. Our whole house is gluten free right now & I plan on it staying that way. I have no intentions on giving this newborn any gluten. I did read however, that at 1 year old we should give the baby gluten for 6 months and then test to see if he has it as well. Have you heard of this?

I have heard on testing children, but from what I heard you are supposed to test around age 3. Autism usually shows up between ages one and three, so personally, I would like to wait until he/she is past the "danger" zone. We have four children in our close extended family with autism and three of those kids have been diagnosed as celiac's in the last year- the third has not been tested but does have serious gastointestinal issues, so I am betting she is a celiac also. As with most autistic children, they were fine and right on mark with age appropriate cognative growth and between ages one and three, they all regressed. So personally, I will definitly not be testing until the baby turns three when the period of rapid brain growth and development has slightly slowed. Im going to be crazy strict (or maybe just crazy :D lol).

Since you are super healthy may I recomend Stonyfield organic vanilla and Julie's organic vanilla. I only eat vanilla due to other issues that keeps me away from chocolate!

Breyer's and Ben & Jerry's are supposed to be gluten-free unless it says otherwise--like if it has cookies or something. I like Kozy Shack pudding--it's all safe.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
