I went there with a friend today and for some reason i was under the impression that the fruit sherbets are dairy free (i guess i was confused with gelato) but it was so good and i even said i cant believe its dairy free! later my stomach was hurting pretty bad so i looked it up and my stupid mistake, its full of dairy.

I feel more guilty than anything about eating dairy because even if i could eat it, I wouldnt. its hard to eplain im just really mad and guilty with myself.

So is there anything at baskin robbins i CaN eat? please?

Did you see if there's anything on their website? I would also be concerned about gluten cc at an ice cream place, unless they also have stuff in individual pints...

Baskin Robbins at least in my area usually carries 3 dairy free flavors depending on the season: daiquiri ice, tropical ice, and lemon sorbet. Sherbets unfortunately do contain dairy (as does gelato) - you'll want to look for the designation sorbet/sorbetto at ice cream places in order to find something dairy free. Also, if you're looking at drinks at Baskin Robbins, the peach passion blast, strawberry citrus blast, and wild mango blast are all safe (be careful the fruit blast smoothie versions contain milk but the regular blasts do not). As far as contamination of the sorbets, I have never had a problem, but I am not super sensitive to dairy. They are supposed to use separate scoops at all times for the sorbets, but I have noticed that is not always the case and many times they rinse the scoops in a water bucket shared with the ice cream between orders, so depending on your sensitivity, you may want to avoid the scoopables and stick to the drinks. Nothing beats a delicious light sorbet or blast on a hot summer day - Enjoy!

Always look for a sorbet and not sherbet. They are composed of just fruit juices and sugar. While we are on the subject, opt for cane sugar or just regular sugar.

RUN from those sorbets that are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.

I did not know Baskin Robbins sold anything gluten-free and their locatons, though for some strange reason I am able to eat sherbert but very little Ice Cream, (I miss Ice Cream). I would be interested if they had anything in their store gluten-free.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.
