I'm new to the gluten free diet and struggling to find ice creams I enjoy that are gluten free.

Any suggestions???

I was looking for some ice cream recently, and had a struggle to find one that didn't have corn syrup! Ben & Jerry's to the rescue! I got some B&J's vanilla heath bar ice cream, even though there's a couple items I usually avoid (soy, carageenan) it's really good. It doesn't specifically say it's gluten-free, but I didn't have any bad reactions to it.

To the OP, Jordan,

Corn syrup is gluten free. Don't let that post worry you. Most ice creams are gluten free , read the ingredients. Obviously ones with Oreos or Kit Kats are not gluten-free. Look out for malt or barley malt, too.

Ice cream should not be a struggle at all. As kareng said, you're almost universally OK as long as you avoid the obvious stuff -- cookies, cake and so forth. A very few ice creams do have barley malt, but I've always found it listed.

I don't have any issues with my usual brands, the big one being Ben & Jerry's. Their website (if I remember correctly) says that while they don't have a list of gluten free flavors they will clearly list allergens on the labels. I haven't had any reactions to it yet. I do specifically remember though that they said ingredients will change occasionally so read every label, every time. (Which we should be doing anyway.)

I DO have a problem with corn as well as gluten and soy. Some Ben and Jerry's works for me, particularly pistashio, now that I can eat those delightful things again. I also eat Hagen Daz. The chocolate seems to give me trouble, but I can eat their vanilla. I also absolutely LOVE Starbucks plain coffee ice cream. (Most coffe ice creams taste like coffe syrup. Starbucks tastes like a really good cup of coffee.) And lately, my very favorite is Blue Bunny All Natural Vanilla. It has the most velvety texture! SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!

Strangely when I was in Venice last November and then again two weeks ago most gelato was NOT gluten free. Whenever I asked, they refused to serve it to me. In fact, they even showed me the list of ingredients and more often then not, sure enough - the label said "gluten". I was quite surprised, actually. Just something to note in case others travel to Italy soon. In Canada, however, I have found most to be safe. But it just does not compare to gelato! :( And I will never forget what THAT tastes like.

I found that Turkey Hill Natural, Perry lists if it is gluten-free on the label and Wegman's Brand. Also, there is a nice ice cream maker on the market that is very easy to use called Hamilton Beech 1/2 pint ice cream maker. This way there is no worry about what is in your ice creams because you make it yourself. They can be found at Target and Walmart. Hope this helps you.

I have been using Klondike bars, Blue buny, Tofutti, or Purely decadent coconut icecream in my home. I hope this will help.

My favorite is Breyers vanilla. The ingredients are beautifully simple.

Personally I'll settle for Haagen-Dazs vanilla any day! It contains exactly 5 ingredients and no gums whatsoever. It is so dense and creamy, not airy and fluffy like some ice creams. Thankfully I don't buy it often. tongue.gif

Yes! Hagen Daz IS dense. It is very filling compared to other brands. And I love the flavor. But I alternate between that and the Blue Bunny All Natural vanilla because the texture is truly velvety. It isn't as strong a vanilla flavor, but I just can't stop eating it.

So usually I have both in the freezer and I do the Hagen Daz for breakfast, and the Blue Bunny at night. For some reason being able to eat ice cream makes all the other food restrictions easy. I never feel deprived.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article
