I thought NO way would this be gluten free, but my husband found it and said it was.....here is a link to the product. I don't see anything, but I am newer, so I want to be sure.

I don't see any gluten ingredients either. Hopefully you'll get at least one more pair of eyes. The list is a little scarier than the Breyer's I usually eat though. :lol:

"Food starch-Modified" as apart of "Stabilizers" makes me nervous. Especially because later in the ingredients they specify using "Corn Starch" (which is safe) in the "Sequin Candies." I don't think I'd take my chances. I have found that Food Starch tends to be a vague hidden form of wheat or gluten.

Modified food starch and Natural and Artificial flavors are the most iffy ingredients in that list (at least as far as gluten goes--I don't willing consume anything containing HFCS and Partially Hydrogenated Veg Oil). Even though in NA the Modified Food Starch is usually not gluten, it COULD BE. I would contact the company to make sure if I were you.

Well, it probably does not contain gluten ingredients, being that in the US (on food items) they are suppose to list wheat as an ingredient if it is in one of the starches or something. And I don't see any rye, barely, or oat ingredients. That said, there is a lot of scary ingredients in that product, including the important to avoid hydrogenated oil. Remember, they can round the nutrition label down to 0g per serving of trans fats, but it is still in there. I personally would not eat that product or give it to my son. That said, I am a little extreme. :)

I would be concerned about CC with this product, they are likely to make ice creams with cookies, brownies or dough in it and I don't know good they are about cleaning the lines between batches. I would call them, I bet they give you some vague answer?

If the modified food starch was made from wheat it would have to state it on the lable. The ingredient I would question is the natural flavors. This can hide other forms of gluten (not wheat) mostly barley.

Well something is still getting me, but could be another food, not sure.

I was thinking CC might be a risk. I guess I'll call them, but I'll probably just go back to vanilla ice cream to be safe. Might call for the heck of it though.

It's always good to go to the source for the most accurate information:

Information about Gluten

Federal Definition of "Gluten-Free"

The January 23 edition of the Federal Register contained a notice of proposed rule making to define the use of the term "gluten-free" for voluntary use for food labeling, to mean that the food does not contain any of the following: An ingredient that is any species of the grains wheat, rye, barley or a crossbred hybrid of these grains, an ingredient derived from them and that has not been processed to remove the gluten, or that has been processed to remove the gluten but more than 20 ppm remains. In addition, a food made from oats that bears a gluten-free claim in its labeling would be deemed misbranded if the claim suggests that all such foods are gluten-free or if 20 ppm or more of gluten is present in the food.

Gluten Content of Blue Bunny® Products

Obvious gluten-containing ingredients in Blue Bunny® products include items with wafers, cookies, brownies, cookie dough, bisque and pretzels. For the safety of our customers, if any ingredient such as a flavoring, stabilizer, emulsifier, color or coating contains gluten, it will be named in the ingredient statement. In general, Blue Bunny® products are gluten-free unless they contain obvious gluten-containing ingredients or gluten content is otherwise noted in a product's ingredient statement.

maybe too much of a good thing. ;)

Even a little dairy can leave me feeling bloated and uncomfortable. But, everyone is different.

The last time I had blue bunny (it was plain vanilla) I had a DH flare-up and I am extremely sensitive to cc, so I would guess that might be the case for you. I've found that I have to stay away from many of the ice cream brands due to cc.

Good Luck!

Is there a certain brand of ice cream that doesn't make your tummy upset? I think ice cream does the same thing to me and I absolutely love ice cream:o(

The local ice cream truck sells a Blue Bunny ice cream on a stick that is gluten-free. Tastes great. Blue Bunny is pretty well known for their accurate labeling and gluten-free products.

I wouldn't use it because it doesn't state the source of the modified food starch. I agree on Breyers. Look at this list instead. No stabilizers, thickeners etc. I'd just add my own sprinkles.

Remember, Blue Bunny has a policy that if any ingredients contain any gluten, it will be listed in the ingredient list. If the modified food starch is not specified as from wheat, it is not from wheat. I love Blue Bunny because they are very clear on this policy :)

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      First, it's fantastic news that your diarrhea has resolved after a month—that is a huge and critical sign of healing, confirming that the gluten-free diet is starting to work. While it feels slow, this stabilization of your digestive system is the essential foundation upon which weight gain is built. Given the severity of your weight loss, dropping from 50kg to 35kg, it is very normal for the body to need a significant amount of time to recover. The fact that your vitamin levels are stable is a positive sign that your body is now absorbing nutrients, which is the first step. Many people in the Celiac community report that noticeable, consistent weight gain often doesn't begin until several months after their digestive symptoms have fully settled, as the intestines need that time to repair the villi responsible for absorption. It sounds like you are doing everything right by working with your specialists and ruling out other issues like thyroid complications, which, despite the fluctuating TSH, your doctors have confirmed are not a primary concern. Please be gentle with yourself; your body has been through a major trauma. The lack of strength you feel is a direct result of such a low body weight, and as you slowly and consistently nourish yourself with safe, calorie-dense gluten-free foods, that strength will return. Stay the course with your optimism and consistency—you are on the right path, and a healthier figure is absolutely ahead. Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements? The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Yes, I agree, most doctors miss the subtleties of Celiac disease.   The AIP diet was designed by a doctor who has Celiac herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book The Paleo Approach is most helpful.   The AIP diet eliminates all grains and other pseudo grains like rice,corn and quinoa because they can be irritating to the digestive track.  It eliminates processed gluten-free foods.  These processed foods are not enriched with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts are.  They are usually full of saturated fats and excess fiber, not something healthy one would choose to eat anyway.  Stick with meat and veggies and some low histamine fruits.  Supplement with Benfotiamine and a B Complex to ensure your body has an opportunity to absorb these essential nutrients. You have a blessed day, too, sweetie.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By trents · Posted

      Let me suggest some possibilities for your nausea/heart burn besides gluten cross contamination that are common in the celiac community: 1. You may have other food intolerances. This is exceedingly common in the celiac community. The two most common food offenders are oats and dairy products. Eggs, corn and soy are also on that list. But it can be almost anything. You might start with eliminating oats and dairy for a few weeks and see if there is improvemen.t 2. You may have MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)-histamine intolerance: you should research this. 3. You may have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) 4. You may have an H. Pylori infection or a Candida yeast infection Unfortunately, celiac disease often brings along its friends. Often it generates other health issues by the time we ever get it diagnosed such that going gluten-free is not the only answer to the problem. We can be over simplistic and naive about it in this since.

      Hi! Thank you so much! This was truly helpful. Most doctors I went to were absolutely uninformed and unprepared to treat a celiac patient. I will check for all the things you shared and focus on healing first! Really really thank you! Have a blessed day.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Hi! Thank you   Of course! I still live with my family; there used to be six of us, and now there are four. I rarely leave the house or eat out. Although my mother has also been diagnosed with celiac disease, she does not follow the same precautions as I do. I use separate kitchen utensils (different spatulas, pans, dish towels, plates, toaster - almost everything since I’m highly sensitive), and my food is kept separate in the kitchen. The other two people who live with us consume gluten daily, but unfortunately they are not careful. Although we frequently clean the kitchen surfaces and other utensils (such as the microwave, towels, and tables), because they consume gluten constantly, there are always gluten crumbs everywhere! And more complicated contaminations have happened before. I try to eat separately in my room to avoid it as much as possible, but even on days when I am sure there has been no contamination, I feel nauseous (sometimes I feel like just the smell is enough for it). Does the food inside the fridge should also be separated and in its own shelf? I think that might be the problem too.  I really wanted to leave my home to live a more peaceful and less stressful life in terms of cross-contamination, since the people around me are not careful, but given my current circumstances, it is impossible… so I’ve been trying to deal with it calmly?
