Does anyone know if vanilla soft serve ice cream from an ice cream parlor is gluten free?

since not all ice cream shops use the same ice cream, you would have to check the ingredients at the place you go.

we can *never* assume that a whole class of prepared food is gluten free.

Even if the ice cream itself is gluten-free, you'd have to consider cross contamination. If they are touching wheat based cones to the machine, it could have cross contamination. And there have been reports here of some ice cream places training their employees to fill cones, then dump the ice cream back in the machine. I can't say for sure that this happens though.

I'd say it doesn't. Certainly not at the place my daughter used to work. And if some place were doing this, it most certainly violate health regulations.

Not all ice creams are gluten free. I would find out the maker of the ice cream and check with them directly.

I have asked to read the container that the soft serve comes in. I have gotten strange looks but all three times I ate my ice cream with out worry. If there is a tip jar I leave a buck for the annoyance. Wheat is used more to keep the texture of the ice cream. With soft serve the machine does that so I suspect that wheat is not needed. I also suspect that I can not handle gar gum but I have not seen that in soft serve either. YET

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
