Has anyone ever gotten glutened from eating B&J?

There is a buy one get one free at my grocery store this week. I really want some.

I think they label their products clearly, so if you don't see any gluten listed, it should be safe. You can try to Google Ben&Jerry's - Gluten Free to see if you can find a current listing.

Yes, they do list any gluten, but I was just wondering if anyone's gotten sick from cross contamination.

Ever since I got sick eating an Amy's gluten free meal, I'm leery.

Well then, you might want to contact them about their production policies before you indulge yourself. :)

I haven't had any luck with Ben and Jerry's and it's a shame because I LOVE their ice cream. It seems that all of their gluten free flavors have corn, and all of their corn free flavors have gluten! The last time I tried it was during a weak moment. I got the peanut butter cup flavor which contains all glute free/corn free ingredients, but the label DID say that although the peanut butter cups themselves were gluten free, they are made in a facility that processes wheat. And it got me.

Hagen Daz is good, and my favorite of all time (actually, one of the things I LIVE for!) is Starbucks ice cream!! I don't care how much it costs, it's worth it.

They don't sell Starbucks where I live. I have to drive 60 miles to get it. But while I'm there I stock up on Cabot Vermont Extra Sharp White Cheddar. (All they sell here in the middle of nowhere is that disgusting orange cheese.) And I also stock up on Cape Cod potato chips. AND Kettle Brand. (I still like my junk food, but I'm getting better.)

And of course, going to a national grocery chain instead of the tiny little grocery stores in my town, I get better quality meats and produce, and at better prices.

And on top of that, if I go to the two national chains over the border in Nebraska, I don't have to pay sales tax like I do here in South Dakota. Well worth a monthly trip.

I second Starbucks! You can make homemade ice cream - milk, sugar, vanilla....put it in a freezer.

Cheap and you know the ingredients!

If you want a great experience try Talenti Gelato. Holy Moley!!! I found some salted caramel flavor today and can't wait to try it tonight !!! I'll be beating the hubby and kid to keep them away from it....

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:
