Does anyone know what to look for in the ingredience that would tell if hidden gluten is in there? I know I can't have cookie dough or anything like that. I just mean the basics like vanilla,chocolate, strawberry.

How about Dairy Queen? Like a bannana split blizzard? Thanks this stuff is hard to figure out!

If you refering to the ice cream likeyou find ian a grocery story...

Edy's, Bryers, and Kroger's Brand (aka Private selection) are all gluten-free execpt the odvious ones like Cookie Dough. Purty refused to tell me gltuen status, so I aviod them. I have not check the other brands, but I would guess most probably are.

Here is Diary Queen's gluten-free Menu:

Just watch out for CC at those places.....

Thanks! That helped, I will look for those brands you suggested. I also am happy to know that DQ bannana split blizzards are ok!

I would be very leary of getting a blizzard. Back in college (before dx) I worked at a dairy queen. They do not clean the blizzard machine between batches. So if someone ordered a oreo blizzard before you I would think the equipment would be contaiminated. Same with the milkshake machine, if someone had a malt before your milkshake.

I do order their cakes for our family for birthdays. I spoke with the woman who makes the cakes, very nice. She ensusres that all the equipment is cleaned beforehand and the frosting is unopened. We leave out the fudge sauce and chocolate crunch and substitue m&ms. It is very good and she does great designs.

I'm sorry :( I just didn't want anyone to get sick. All dairy queens are owned and operated differently. Talk to the manager. Who knows, if it's not busy they maybe able to clean it!

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
