Has anyone ever gotten glutened from eating B&J?

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....

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
