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.

      Is Cracker Barrel`s gluten-free menu safe for kids with celiac disease?

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to...

      Is Cracker Barrel`s gluten-free menu safe for kids with celiac disease?

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:
