So we read on Dairy Queen's website that their soft serve and certain toppings were ok. So I got a sundae with the vanilla and chocolate twist. And hot fudge topping. Nothing else. About 2 hours later cramping and I went to the washroom. Smelly...loose but not total D. And a lot. Do we know this is actually safe? I assumed as long as I had something on the gluten free list along with no loose toppings because of cross contamination risks that we should be okay?

I eat ice cream at DQ with no issues. I don't try those mix-ins because they have some gluten mix- ins ( Blizzard?)like Oreos, but the ice cream and toppings like fudge should be good. However, anything is possible. Could have nothing to do with gluten. Sometimes, we just don't know.

True. While I seem to be able to eat stuff with dairy in it with no problems..i haven't had milk in about a week and will be trying it again soon..perhaps my innards healing are aggravated by the dairy? Or maybe it was just a freak thing lol

I only eat the Dilly Bars that are already sealed in cellophane and made at the DQ factory. You have to ask, because some DQs make them on - site.

While it is not the same as a sundae, it is a way to eat something with less chance of cross contamination. Remember, most of the staff at the DQ is not handling the rest of the gluten food, and then the ice creams and whatnot, with the thought in mind that one of us might show up later.

There is also a frozen yogurt shop in the city that does not sell cones, only in serving cups, that works for me (the clerk knows I will read the ingredient lists, and the plain vanilla tends to be always in the same dispenser.). We checked out another shop closer by, but it served in cones and there were 10 gazillion kids and crumbs strewn all around.... took awhile for them to even find their ingredients book :o:blink::ph34r: that was sort of an accident waiting to happen, and we backed gracefully out. There was another shop that sells frozen yogurt, that we were going to, but they keep changing brands and ingredients all the time :angry: and then many times they did not have the basic vanilla or chocolate, but some sort of ghastly sugar free, fat free version loaded with chemicals and fillers, and then the rest were the weirdo flavors I have no intention of trying anyway, because of the higher risk of "natural flavors" being some unknown, and a lot of them were obviously gluten-bearing, like the crud with cookies in it or "cake batter." Had to give them a flunk.

I had the ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery once.... didn't get cc'd, but eating a plain cup of that stuff, it's really, really comically gummy, to where you think it might actually be frozen tapioca or mixed with xanthan gum :lol:.

I just had some this past week and thought it was really gummy like it hadn't been in the freezer long enough. Guess not! :lol: I wasn't all that impressed.

To the OP: We don't do blizzards because of the cc risk but will do sundaes with the regular toppings, buster and dilly bars and the frozen fruit drinks.

I have a strong reaction to Dairy Queen... and I just get plain ice cream. I really don't know if it is lactose, or what. But what is stranger, I have no issue whatsoever with Culver's custard.

A blizzard? I won't touch them. I just got vanilla and chocolate icecream in a cup as a sundae with hot fudge on it...no other toppings.

I have had the buster bar before but it was in a paper wrapper and not done up :(

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
