Hand-Dipped Ice Cream Parlor

I am new to the gluten-free diet and lifestyle. Now that it is summer, I miss frequenting our local ice cream shop. I am concerned that an ice cream scoop dipped in a cup of water will not be enough to protect me from cross-contamination. Can anyone correct me on this? I am really hoping that I am wrong. Thanks!

That and even worse - the little bits of cone that break off into the ice cream. If they are willing and able to scoop you from a fresh container - that would be great. I like to go to the frozen yogurt places with the " ice cream" that comes out of the soft serve.

It's hard but I won't eat ice cream in a scoop 'em out parlor. A scoop in a cup or tray of water is not enough and overhead droppings into open containers of ice cream is way too possible. If everyone stops at a parlor I usually look for a cooler with packaged ice creams that are ok or soft serve.

If I go to an ice cream parlor, I insist on a new tub of ice cream and a new scoop, then I thank them profusely and tip well. We usually just buy a carton of ice cream from the grocer's and bring it home... I cheap out.  ;)

I don't know that it's cheaping out, I sort of call it picking my battles. lol SOmetimes (often!!) I would rather go without than launch into the whole cross contamination-is this safe-would you please-I am celiac thing.

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.
