Cleaning To Remove Gluten/ice Cream

I have a favorite ice cream place and I recently spoke with the manager. He said their ice cream is all gluten free, however, they use the ice cream maker to make pastry cream which has flour in it. He said it is thoroughly cleaned before they make ice cream. Would you guys trust something like this?

Maybe? It might be one of those hit or miss choices.

If you are pretty sensitive, it might not be worth the risk. Myself, I'd probably pass, because at this point, I'm kinda paranoid.

What does sensitivity even mean? The bottom line is gluten can cause damage even if you dont experience any symptoms, right?

Good question. I hear comments like "A tiny amount of gluten doesn't affect me". I have no symptoms, yet my doctor told me to avoid any amount of gluten. If my symptoms (or lack thereof) are unrelated to the potential damage to my intestines, is it not dangerous to assume anybody can tell they are not being harmed by gluten just because they do not experience symptoms?

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      CT with contrast.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.

      This is not standard when looking for celiac disease.  Is it CT enterography? That type of CT can be used when looking for Crohn’s disease or IBD.  CT will see more of the small intestine than can be seen during an endoscopy, as well as the large intestine.
