breyer's ice cream?

I occasionally eat the breyer's lactose free ice cream, and have noticed before that it makes me feel a bit bloated which is why I don't eat it very often. However, the last time I had it I felt VERY bloated for the rest of the night and felt 'off' for the next day or two. That was about two weeks ago. Then last night I ate some and the same thing happened. Now today I've been feeling bloated and just crumby. It almost feels like I was cross contaminated or something. But the ice cream is labeled gluten free, so I'm assuming it was something else. Has anyone else had this problem? I've been realizing that I seem to be having problems with a lot more things now.. food coloring, artificial sweeteners and stevia, and possibly eggs. So I wouldn't be surprised. Just wondering if anyone has an idea of what ingredient could it might be. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Bryers says on their packaging they are gluten free. Perhaps you are reacting to something else in their ice cream.  Could it by you are dairy intolerant instead of lactose intolerant?

We eat Breyers all the time!  Never have been glutened.  We make sure the little green gluten-free icon is on then package as they do make other ice cream with cookies, etc.  Based on their website it should be on a separate line if I recall.  

What other dairy do you consume?  If it is just hard cheese and yogurt, those contain a lot less lactose than ice cream.  It does have Tara gum in it but not the Xanthan gum that I react to and avoid!

Ingredients in the lactose free vanilla from Bryer's website:

SKIM MILK, SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, CREAM, WHEY, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF EACH OF THE FOLLOWING: CAROB BEAN GUM, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, NATURAL FLAVOR, CARRAGEENAN, LACTASE ENZYME, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, TARA GUM, GUAR GUM. Ingredients and Nutrition Facts are current as of 3/1/13. Please see shelf packaging for any changes. Nutrition Facts may vary in high altitude areas.

It could be the carrageenan. Then again, it could be something else in it.

We eat the Natural Vanilla:

MILK, CREAM, SUGAR, VEGETABLE GUM (TARA), NATURAL FLAVOR. Ingredients and Nutrition Facts are current as of August 2015. Please see shelf packaging for any changes. Nutrition Facts may vary in high altitude areas.

      Second child with Celia

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      After my 3 year old daughter's diagnosis, we all got tested. My 5 year old son also came back positive with number 12x the upper limit.  We will confirm with another tTG and the other 2 tests in the panel.  He has zero symptoms that I have noticed. Maybe occasionally vomiting. He does have asthma. He's kind of an a**hole sometimes but also he's 5. He has SO much energy. Like miles and miles of biking, running, gymnastics. Never stops. Eats great, normal growth. It was comparing my daughter to him that made me push to figure out what was wrong with her!  Is it possible for a tTG test to just be totally wrong?

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By CJF · Posted

      I'm heading to the UK for a vacation the end of this month on a tour with Road Scholar. I haven't been out of the US since my diagnosis so I'm a little concerned about exposure to gluten during my travels. Most of our meals are provided by the tour. Either the hotels we are staying at, or places we will visit. Road Scholar is aware of my dietary needs as well. Any helpful hints about navigating the restaurants in England is greatly appreciated. Also are there any medications out there to help mitigate the effects of exposure to gluten? Thanks in advance.
