One of my weaknesses, prior to diagnosis, has been Blue Bell Ice Cream (a Texas brand). I hate to think about giving it up. What is the verdict on ice cream from those of you with more experience at gluten free??? thanks in advance for your reply.........

Most regular ice creams are safe. Generally, it is the obvious ones - like cookies and cream, that have wheat/gluten in it. That being said, always best to read the label. Wheat is required, by FDA labeling laws, to be listed. And, if any questions, call the company!

Hi Don, and welcome :)

I'm in Houston, so I completely understand about the Blue Bell! :D Their Homemade Vanilla is the best!! It's safe, as are many of their flavors--basically most of them except the obvious ones with cookie pieces or similar baked goods stirred in and -- very important-- their Chocolate ice cream has wheat flour among the ingredients so you definitely need to stay away from that one.

I eat Breyers Ice Cream all the time! Choc/Van/Straw ... And Edy's! Yummmm! :)

Just no cookie dough, cookies & cream, oreo cookie, etc...that kind of thing. Just read the labels or call the company to be safe.

Thanks Kathy! I wish I could say she was mine, but because of my allergies I really can't have dogs. I do have two cats though & they don't bother me too much. I would pick a dachshund if I could! I just love them! I photographed her during a photography session. I mostly photograph animals. She was so sweet! :)

Anyway, not to change the subject.... I had some ice cream last night! Breyer's Strawberry! Yummmmm! :)

Hello from the Pacific Northwest. I am, however, a graduate of Macarthur HS in Irving Texas and from Texas Tech. They have Blue Bell Ice cream up here now. It showed up a few years ago.

My question is about Costco's Kirkland brand Premium Ice Cream. I get my celiac symptoms with it (Loose stooles, brain fog and pain in my feet from activation of my celiac induced neuropathy). the cheapo brand we bought last week did not do this. I tried the costco ice cream a bit last night and a bit tonight (1/2 c) and had the same reaction both nights. Hmm. the cheapo brand to which I did not have a reaction has all the same ingredients as the costco brand, but has some the costco brand does not.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Frances

Hi Frances, welcome to the board!

I have two thoughts--one is that you could be sensitive to one of the ingredients in the Kirkland brand. The other, more likely in my opinion, is cross contamination as in made on the same lines as a flavor that contains gluten like cookie dough or something similar.

I've had reactions to some ice creams and not others also--if you're very sensitive it can be pretty frustrating sometimes.

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
