Cold Stone Creamery

...Has anyone tried eating here? They have an allergen information list here: Open Original Shared Link but elsewhere on the site it says: "Although we take precautions by cleaning the mixing stone often, we cannot guarantee that residual products containing gluten will not accidentally be mixed into your ice cream." Someone has recommended going there (a non-celiac) but I'm not sure about trying it - I've not had icecream out anywhere in 2 years, I guess I'm scared. Any experiences?

I love Cold Stone! I cant handle dairy so I stopped going there lol. You should go. Explain yourself to the employee, ask them to mix your ice cream up in a bowl (not on the cold stone) and new clean ice cream scoops. Make sure you ask for those items.

They will mix in stuff you bring, I used to take gluten-free brownies, cookies and cheesecake lol, sooo good! And if you choose to mix in a candy bar ask them to open you a new one.

Anytime you eat out there will always be a chance for cc. I try to avoid the icecream that sits next to cookies n cream, etc. I never had a problem with the chocolate, vanilla, sweet cream (my fav) and butter pecan.

I've never ordered anything there, but the last time I went in with my husband, the lady told me she'd open a new container of ice cream for me and use a clean scoop if I wanted. I thought that was so nice, and now that I'm able to handle dairy again (yea!), I plan to go back and take her up on that!

I would check with your local store and see how they can help you. :)

msmini14, I didn't know that you could bring in your own stuff to be mixed in! That's awesome!

I've had Cold Stone since going gluten-free, and I haven't had a problem. The prices OTOH, make me not feel well. :lol: I think they're kind of expensive just for ice cream!

Good luck, GeordieLass!

I've done very well at Cold Stone. They mix my ice cream in a separate container so it isn't mixed on the "cold stone" to prevent cross contamination.

Sweet cream is my fave too!!! I've been trying to buy a quart of it from them but the few times I've stopped by they don't have that flavor in the freezer section.

They will sell you a quart without it being in the freezer section, they should anyway. I made friends with my coldstone people lol. They knew me, it was so funny. I would walk in and they would grab a bowl, they always knew what I was going to order. Was so cool. Ahh I miss them lol, I moved away and again I avoid dairy these days.

Enjoy your icecream, it is worth it! :P

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
