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 :)

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      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.
