Ice Cream

I am new to this site and I love it! I have been struggling with my lovely symptoms for seven or eight years now and I have gone through all of the fun, enjoyable tests to find out what is wrong with me. Unfortunately, the doctors have not found anything wrong.

Reading through this site and cutting out the gluten in my diet has helped my symptoms greatly! So I am guessing that I have self diagnosed my problem. I don't have health insurance at this time since I am a self-employed software training contractor so I haven't gone to the doctor's to be tested for gluten-free.

I LOVE eating ice cream but I read on the not to eat list that ice cream shouldn't be comsumed ... why? I checked the ingredients list there wasn't anything listed that was on the forbidden list.

Should I still keep away from ice cream?

some ice creams do contain gluten, but there are a lot of brands out there that have many flavors of ice cream that are gluten free. Edy's/Dreyers lists their gluten free flavors on their web site.

another reason may be that initially some celiacs cannot tolerate dairy products, but after the damage begins to heal, most celiacs would be able to safely reintroduce dairy into their diet.

I had to go dairy free in the initial stages after my dx, but I am now happily eating all kinds of dairy food, ice cream included. I make my own cookies and cream ice cream using MiDel's sandwich cookies that are like oreos.

Well pretty much everything needs to be checked. Not only foods but products that you put on your face, hands, etc.

As far as ice cream goes, some brands will not hide anything. Breyers, Popsicle,Good Humor, Klondike all will clearly list wheat,rye,barley,oats right on the label or they will be safe. Even if otherwise questionable ingredients are on there they will be safe unless they say otherwise.

Edy's is also a great brand and if you go to their site you can get a list of their gluten free kinds.

Some people do find they have a problem with dairy products before their intestines heal but some have no problem.

Thanks! Trying to get my hands around all the do's and not's is a bit overwhelming.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
