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.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
