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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
