Reactions to So Delicious Ice Cream?

Good Morning,

A few days ago I had some Gluten Free So Delicious brand Ice Cream (second time actually). I had it because I also have a dairy reaction which I just found out I also have. Here we are about 2 days since I ate the Ice Cream and I have not been feeling great. You know the typical gluten exposure symptoms; gas, bloating, diarrhea, etc. I have been feeling great for about 3-4 months (Big Steps!!!) I have been pounding the water to help clear my system. I know So Delicious claims to clean their machinery, but I was wondering if someone else has experienced similar things with this brand. Thanks in advance! I love hearing what to community has to say!

My lactose intolerance resolved once I healed from celiac disease.  I buy Breyers which is labeled gluten-free on most of their ice creams.  Those are made in a dedicated facility.  No shared lines.  Sometimes piece of mind is priceless.  

Soy intolerances/allergies are common.  Sure it is not soy?  What about one of those gums?  

Some celiacs, like me, tend to be a bit more sensitive.  For others, they are not impacted.  

I am sorry that you are unwell.  Keep in mind that you might have picked up a stomach virus.  Not everything is due to celiac disease.

I do know that So Delicious claims to be gluten-free, but many ice creams, unfortunately, also use binders such as xanthan gum or guar gum, which can also produce reactions in some people. Do you recall any of the ingredients?

I also just tried a So Delicious gluten free ice cream and had a reaction. Upon further inspection of the label, it says, "Produced in a facility that also processes wheat." Unfortunately, I don't think it's a safe brand for me, because I am highly gluten sensitive.

Isn’t the So Delicious brand made with coconut milk?  I remember trying that at one time and it is gluten free but coconut milk is very high in fat.  It may be considered a good fat but fat is fat when it comes to eating it and I had to stop because it was the coconut milk and high fat content that got me.  Fat is hard to digest anyway so that may be the problem.

I just wanted to add that I can not tolerate coconut or any nuts (allergy).  Besides avoiding gluten, you might need to create a food journal to help you identify food intolerances.  If you are lucky, those intolerances might dissipate with healing.

I have been eating this for a while but I’ve been sick lately so I’m extra sensitive. I had it last night and got horribly sick from it. There was nothing else it could have been. I don’t know if it’s always been processed in a facility with wheat, I don’t remember seeing that on the back.

Did you check the ingredient label? They could have changed the formulation. Or, you have become more sensitive as you say, from the illness or just from the course of the disease. It could also be a reaction to some other nongluten ingredient like dairy which you have developed an intolerance to.

Microbial transglutaminase is used in ice cream as a texture enhancer.  It is technically an enzyme and part of the production process and as such is not required to be listed as an ingredient on the label.  

Microbial transglutaminase is used in baked goods, yogurt, ice cream, and processed foods, in both gluten free and nongluten-free foods.

Maybe this explains why I get so sick eating ice cream and last night yogurt!

I doubt it would be used in yogurt, but who knows? It would certainly be worth eliminating all dairy/casein for a few weeks, and keeping a food diary to see if you can link your issues with other foods/allergens.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.

      Aah it sucks that there's no definitive way to confirm NCGS or celiac. I've found a GI clinic that is covered by my insurance and I'll contact them after the holidays to setup an appointment. I hope to get some sort of clarity with further tests.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      Thanks @knitty kitty. I didn't know about thiamine deficiency before you had mentioned it. I'm doing more research into what it is and how I can test for that deficiency. Is Vitamin B1 test the best way to find it? I saw that there is another test: Erythrocyte transketolase activity coefficient (ETKAC) assay to test for thiamine deficiency but I'm not sure how that test is done. Is that something I can take on my own or do I need GI referral. If it does turn out that I'm thiamine deficient, does that confirm that I have celiac disease or could it just mean that I have not been consuming Vitamin B1 rich food and once I address that with a supplement or food, I would no longer be thiamine deficient? Also full disclosure, I'm a vegetarian and only last year I found out that my Vitamin D level was very low. It was 3.7 ng/ml and the ideal range is >29.9 ng/ml. After a year of taking multivitamin supplement, my Vitamin D level has gone up to 27 ng/ml. Though it's better than 3.7 ng/ml, it's still below the range. I'm not sure for how long my Vitamin D level was around 3.7 ng/ml before 2023 as I didn't have my Vitamin D test taken prior to that. My doctor also wanted to check my Vitamin B12 level as I might not be getting enough of it from vegetarian sources. When I took that test last year, Vitamin B12 was 247 pg/ml and ideal range is 200-1100 pg/ml. So it's still within the range though it's on the lower end of the ideal range. I also have recently started taking vitamin b-complex tablets daily. I've never checked other Vitamin B levels including Vitamin B1. Do you know if such a very low level of Vitamin D and moderately lower level of Vitamin B12 would cause celiac disease or may contribute to some of the symptoms I've been experiencing? Regarding the DNA test to test celiac genes, are you referring to HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8 tests? As soon as I got the result where my IgG was above range, I had ordered the "HLA Typing for Celiac Disease" test in Quest Diagnostics which measures HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8. The test is 2 weeks from now and I'll post my results here once I receive them.

      Small amounts of gliadin are detectable in some samples of human breast milk but these are at too low a level to cause symptoms. No gliadin has been detected in the beef of grain-fed cattle.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5622696/

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.
