Sams Club Soft Serve Ice Cream Gluten Free?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the soft serve vanilla ice cream, that you can get at the Sams Clubs snack bar, is gluten free? I did eat, about 1/4 of one, and it was really thick, so I stopped, just to be safe, and sure enough, stomach issues. Could it have been from that?

I don't know if it has gluten in it. Could it have been the dairy in it that gave you issues? That happens to me sometimes.

Hi! it could have been, although sometimes I can eat a small amount of dairy and be ok, I can eat yogurts, but I was really curous about the ice cream. I thought I read somewhere that Dairy Queen has gluten, so I thought that was interesting....Im gonna call Sams and ask them, hopefully they will know what Im talking about!

Dairy Queen soft serve is gluten free.

Make sure you read the disclaimers at the bottom about the potential for cross-contamination of the toppings, etc.

Also wanted to share this thread with you about Dairy Queen:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...23&hl=queen

Their softserve is gluten free, but you may want to check an individual stores policy on "recycling" softserve mix.

For some reason I can eat yogurt and some cheeses with no problem. I cannot drink regular milk. I have to drink the Lactaid kind. Also, if I do eat ice cream which is rare, I take a lactaid pill before. I don't know why some dairy gets me and some doesn't. For me, it's trial and error to see what works.

Probably depends on the lactose content . . . milk has more than cheese . . . yogurt can be lower or higher but the "active cultures" can help you out. Here is a table just for a little info:

When my daughter had her endoscopy, I asked if they could tell if she was lactose intolerant. They measured the amount of lactase (the enzyme that processes the latose in milk) she was producing. She had a low reading (based on the "normal" scale) but she was still producing it. She was like you. If she sat down and drank milk, she drank the Lactaid kind or she took a chewable lactaid tablet (which is just providing the lactase enzyme that the body is no longer making). If she was just having a bit of cheese, we didn't worry about it. After a couple of months gluten free, she didn't need to supplement anymore.

Thanks for the info. I never really thought about how each product would have a different lactose level. Unfortunately, I still need the lactaid. But, I'm so much better than before!

      Frozen gluten -free meals

      Amy's has been my go-to for gluten-free meals for years. Her cooks need to have feedback--for example, the two enchiladas with authentic Mexican sauce, very tasty. The 1 enchilada w span rice &beans is a disappointment ...the enchilada is terrible with its collection of corn &green peppers instead of cheese and sauce. Not tasty at all.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      You also mentioned eating 10g of gluten for 2 weeks are longer do you think less then 6 weeks is ok? I heard 2 weeks gives false positives what about 4 weeks 10g whole wheat a day? I read 4 slices whole wheat equals to 10g gluten. Would eating 4 slices whole wheat bread a day along with elimination of other gluten suffice? Also do you recommend taking a...

      Welcome to the forum, @Beagirl! What you are feeling is what we have all felt to one degree or another and we typically feel it more intensely when we already have a laundry list of health issues to work around. It's often the result of a sense of loss . . . of having to say goodbye to some good foods that we enjoy that may have been part of a shrinking list of things that are left that we still found pleasure in. And also for many it represents a social loss . . . not being able to accept dinner invitations from family and friends because you are unsure if they know how to cook gluten free . . . not being able to go out to just any restaurant with family and friends because their menu doesn't have gluten free offerings and if it it does, are they careful with regard to cross contamination issues?

      Recently diagnosed with a problem with no cure is annoying and upsetting. Why does this happen? I have enough health problems to deal with and now this. I can live with reading labels and giving up things at I'm 68 years old. I can cook with gluten free everything and not give up good healthy food, look for gluten free restaurants, do all I'm told to do to manage the problem. So I don't know why I'm complaining since it is manageable.

I read 4 slices whole wheat equals to 10g gluten. Would eating 4 slices whole wheat bread a day along with elimination of other gluten suffice? Also do you recommend taking a multivitamin to play it safe or when I take the test ask for full vtamin blood test to see all vitamin levels and whatever im low in take that vitamin? Thanks

      Hello again, @JessikaSwallow78! I think you already posted in another section of the forum. My goodness! You are dealing with quite a few health challenges! Anemia and vitamin/mineral deficiencies are very common with celiac disease. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel and reduces the ability to absorb vitamins and minerals from the food we eat. The lining of the small bowel is the section of the intestines where these things are absorbed and this issue may also be causing your discomfort after eating.  Constipation and diarrhea are classic GI symptoms with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and you already have two autoimmune disorders, namely, Raynauds and Fibromyalgia. I mention this because autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. When you have one, you often acquire others with time. I think your next step is to get tested for celiac disease. The initial step of testing involves a blood draw from which they check for antibodies which are fairly specific to celiac disease. Ask your doctor to order these two lab tests, TTG-IGA and Total IGA (aka, Immunoglobulin IGA), when he/she does the blood draw. Make sure you don't start cutting back on wheat products in the mean time or you will invalidate the testing. Keep us posted.
