Dairy Queens special cotton candy blizzard. Is it gluten free?

So as most of you probably know, Dairy Queen has a small menu for us gluten free dieters. (I have celiacs myself.)  

But, while I was there yesterday, my boyfriend got the cotton candy blizzard. It's a limited time one I'm pretty sure so it's not on their perminent menu. So I was wondering what it was made out of? And also, is it gluten free? Have any of you had issues with it?

I would say that none of the Blizzards are gluten-free at Dairy Queen as they use the same mixer without thoroughly washing it between flavors.  Some of the flavors have gluteny cookies in them that could still be stuck on the mixer.  

As a side note - I am extremely surprised that a "Super Sensitive" such as yourself would even consider eating anything at any restaurant, much less a fast food place.

I would stick with the prepackaged gluten free selections at Dairy Queen if you're worried about cross contamination. For example the dilly bars.

      Help understanding test results after negative biopsy

      By englishbunny · Posted

      After testing positive for a celiac antibody a few months ago, I had a biopsy.  Came back normal, but the doc only took two samples from duodenum so given all I have read about patchy damage I am concerned if it was an accurate result.  They just redid my labs with gene testing included, here are the results.  Again, only high antibody is deamidated IGA (it's actually down from 124 a few months back), and I have one genetic marker.  I have been eating lots of gluten in order to try and get accurate results.  I also have Hashimotos.  Reason they looked at celiac at all was despite thyroid levels being fine I am suffering extreme fatigue, muscle aches, and my digestive system seems to fluctuate from constipation to diarrhea with some nausea and bloating.  But I'm not someone who seems to get super sick every time I eat gluten so celiac would never have occurred to me. Last time I did labs my ferritin was low but it seems to have recovered a little. I would love some insight. My doctor is super confusing and dismissive so I am thinking of taking these results to another doctor for a second opinion.  Thanks!

      Can anyone offer any advice/help please!

      @Sammy Web   I think the whole time I've been on this forum I've only come across one British person who has had the coeliac genetic test.  Obviously that doesn't mean others haven't, and I may have missed other posts, but it is my understanding that the NHS don't offer the testing routinely.  I'm from the UK, too. I know that that when I have had biopsies, I've been given a little diagram printed out of where the samples were taken from. If you look through your paperwork (if they gave you any) you may be able to see where they took the samples from.

      @Scott Adams that's the one, 5+ it says, and my level was 0.2..   @trents no they didn't  , but doesn't celiac make you really poorly ? This definitely isn't the case .

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mettedkny! Your ttg-igg numbers are elevated but what about your ttg-iga numbers? Were your ttg-iga numbers elevated at your original diagnosis? The reason I ask is because elevated igg antibody test scores are more likely to be caused by something else besides a celiac reaction to gluten. The ttg-iga test is considered to be the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. But some people are seronegative for the iga celiac tests, particularly if they are iga deficient. If they are iga deficient, the igg tests can be helpful. Have you ever had a "total iga" test run to check for iga deficiency?
