BLUE BELLS is not gluten-free!!!! My DD who loves the Dutch Chocolate had to stop eating it. Why would there be gluten in ice cream??????? CRAZY!!!!!!

Well she can eat Breyers & Publix house brand no gluten! Anyway I'm not sure if all Blue Bells has gluten, read the label.

I would read the ingredients. Keep an eye out for malt. Obviously, no flavors like Oreo or cookie dough.

Maximoo - What did it have in it that was gluten?

I get Edy's alot.

Please elaborate, including where the gluten is and a source to verify it.

The dutch chocolate does have gluten in it. Wheat something or other - can't remember if it was starch or what it was. I was shocked when I saw it!!! I do know the vanilla doesn't have wheat, but not sure about the rest. Not sure if they are made on shared lines.

Essentially it sounds like BB is like most all other ice creams -- avoid the obvious stuff but otherwise gluten-free.

Have you checked their Web site?

Last year, I lived in a place that sold this IC at all the grocery stores. I got online and contacted someone at BB who sent me a list that I then printed out -- of what has gluten and what doesn't. I would take it around with me. Last year, I would buy the country line of vanilla that I'd eat with fresh fruit. Not sure if it's still gluten-free or not.

This was their consumer relations number

979.830.2192

I'm sorry to say that Blue Bell milk chocolate has gluten in it. We have it in our freezer and I just double checked. The ingredient list says "flour (wheat)."

This is my dad's favorite ice cream, and we were all baffled when we read the ingredients. Luckily he can still eat it, but I can't. I don't know why they think they need to throw a spoon full of flour into ice cream!

I said this same thing on this site and was attacked for saying it! I ended up sick because their site said the flavor I got was gluten free. I'm thinking cross contamination because not all the flavors are?

nocommente mentioned a specific variety, and cited the ingredient list. In other words, he posted facts with sources.

Very possible--I responded to your other thread.

No one attacked you. You just came here and claimed that something wasn't gluten free without even giving any facts as to why you felt that way, no mention of flavor or any other items you ate that day. People on the board will help you but you have to understand that there is a lot of incorrect information on here and the people who responded to your post are the ones who try to keep things accurate. Stop being so defensive and start realizing that people are here to help, just go about asking your questions and showing your concerns about a product a bit differently!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
