It's hot out there and I was wondering if anyone out there knows of some great tasting ice creams or sorbets that are safe? I'm not a big fan of the coconut milks or soy milks stuff either. I just bought some of the Chloe's bars to give them a taste but I miss my Ice Cream! Any suggestions that won't make me regret eating it later?

Lots of ice creams and sorbets are safe.  Read the ingredients.  Obviously don't get things like cookie dough flavor.

Mc Donald's soft serve ice cream is also safe, correct?

-_- Depends on the facility, they make those mixes in huge buckets then pour over into the machine, there is a chance for CC there big time. But yes the base ingredients are safe....not sure of the machine, the idiot mixing it, or the device used to mix it.

 

On icecream there are plenty of gluten free and even gluten free certified ones, NOTE a lot of celiacs have issues with dairy starting off due to damaged villi not producing enough enzymes to break down the lactose. You might have to drop dairy for a few months for healing if it gives you issues. 

On this last note there are plenty of dairy free options like so delicious makes gluten-free certified diary free bars, and pints. if you need a sugar free option in addition I might suggest Wink who make gluten free and sugar free ice creams and you can even order these online and have them shipped to you, and they do have cookie dough and cake batter flavors gluten-free lol Open Original Shared Link

I saw on Wendy's website that their frosty's are gluten-free.  

I also looked  online and found many gluten-free ice creams.  Here are some links I found -

Wow, had no idea Haagen Dazs had gluten free options anywhere. I hope the same is the case here in Canada.

Friendlys?  Just be careful.  Cross contamination is the risk here or any ice cream shop.  To be safe, ask for a them to use a clean scooper and to use a fresh tub of ice cream.  Always confirm that the items are gluten free.  Managers can run to the grocery store if they run out of their own products.    So that fudge sauce (or whatever) might not be gluten free for the day.

The only thing that worries me is the cross contamination risk in the plants. Around Cincinnati they have graeters. This is the best damn ice cream there is. If you look at their website though, every flavor is listed as gluten-free, even the cookie dough. I try to get in touch with them but never can get a response. Their Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip is the best there is. When I got out of basic training I ate 2 pints in about 15 minutes. Loved it. Turkeyhill makes a gluten-free list.  They're not that bad but just worried about the CC.

I would be worried too, going there to eat because in the past I've had such careless service in general at our local one, I'd hate to trust them to not cross-contaminate. But you can buy their ice cream at grocery stores, so I think the flavors they list on their website as gluten-free should be okay to get at the grocery store.  That at least is a plus.

I hope it's the same in your country.  Can you try emailing them and asking?  I just wish they were not so pricey.  I got some on sale, and it was so good.  But I am on a limited budget, so that is going to have to be a rare treat.  But a treat indeed! :)  I got rum raisin and ate it in two days.  I have a pineapple-coconut one also that I'm saving for some other day I get a sweet craving.

Yum, black raspberry chocolate chip sounds so good!  I always liked black raspberry in general, and putting chocolate jimmies on it.  I bet the chocolate chips are even better.

I did email Nestle re their Haagen Dazs ice creams and I'm pretty happy with their response:

I eat Haagen Dazs with no issues and it is delicious!  I know that vanilla, vanilla bean,  strawberry and chocolate are all labelled gluten free too.  They have these new Trios that look amazing...my husband assures me that they are!  They aren't labelled gluten free, although no gluten ingredients.  They have so though and I can't have that.

I also eat Breyers Natural Vanilla with no issues and it's really good too.

I don't think they're labelled gluten-free here in Canada but I trust they are. I'm sure my daughter (she has Celiac and hence we are all gluten-free in the family) will love them.

So from what the customer service said, it sounds like it is the same in Canada as the US?  But very handy to know that all you have to do is read the ingredients and it will be very clear and easy to figure out what flavors might contain gluten.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      By trents · Posted

      I'm a little confused. In your second post you said, "but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy" while in your most recent post you say, "I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea." CBC = Complete Blood Count. This is the typical bloodwork most people would have done routinely with an annual wellness checkup. I would include things like iron levels, various blood cell counts including reds and whites and other infection fighters. CMP = Complete Metabolic Panel. This would measure things like blood sugar, kidney and liver function, plasma proteins and various enzymes. Non cellular things that the body produces. Also typical of an annual wellness check. Have you tried cutting out dairy and oats? These two are the most common cross reactors in the celiac community. I know it must be tough trying to get adequate calories and nutrition when you are pregnant while at the same time eliminating foods that are good sources of those things.

      They did. I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related.  I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free and trying to stay away from corn starch etc. However, I am eating gluten free breads that sometimes have rice flour, yeast, etc. - I seem to do fine with these breads/bread products some days, but then am sick other days.  I have never really had any GI symptoms outside of bloating. My symptoms are dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of unwellness or malaise, sort of like when you're going to get the flu.  I have had a lot of bloodwork done over the last three years, but I don't recall doing the CBC, CMP, or a celiac-specific test recently. That's helpful so that could at least provide some insight to see if I'm still being exposed.  Do you see most individual with celiacs having to take a period of time away from even gluten free breads and other cross-reactive foods to let their guts heal? I'm not sure how restrictive to get with my diet again since it's so challenging.

      Did the symptoms commence after you discontinued the AIP diet? Have you checked all nutritional supplements and oral hygiene products for possible gluten content? Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did you have GI symptoms or were you a "silent" celiac whose symptoms were non GI. Is what you are experiencing now like what you were experiencing at the time of diagnosis? Have you had recent blood work done (CBC and CMP) and if so, were there any parameters out of norm? I know you have Hashimoto's but you say that is well controlled now? It certainly wouldn't hurt to get celiac antibodies rechecked. Because you are essentially gluten free I would not expect to see any big departures from normal levels but if there are even weak positives it could indicate you are getting glutened from some unexpected source.

      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again?

      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's.  Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?
