I was so happy when my husband found this last week. It is a wonderful salad. They make them fresh when ordered (at least at my DQ they do). I asked about gluten contamination and the salads are made in a completely different area. I ordered the salad today and there was so much good stuff on it, I had a hard time eating it all! It was sooooo good. They also have gluten free 1000 Island Dressing. The best part for me, is the fact that they make them as they are ordered, so I can order mine with no cheese!

Be very very careful.....DQ has a gluten-free list and this salad is NOT on it. I would be very cautious!!

Here is the dq gluten-free list:

I looked at Dairy Queen.com before I listed my message and under the nutritional information I did find it listed as gluten free. I never post information before checking! Your list only lists desserts. There hamburgers (without the bun of course) are gluten free also.

There it is. It is pretty small, so I printed it out. Obviously the crispy chicken salad has gluten, but the grilled chicken salad is gluten free.

Oh I found that...but it only lists for wheat, not rye, barley and oats. I know it might be a slim chance the other things (rye, barley and oats) would be an ingredient but you never know. Seeing as they DO offer the gluten free list and don't include those items I would still be pretty cautious about saying it's "gluten free". It is however wheat free.

I called Dairy Queen a couple of weeks ago, and I was told that all the wheat free products on their allergen list are also gluten free. They just lumped them together. I spoke to someone who really seemed to understand the seriousness of cross contamination. She recommended that I only get pre-packaged ice cream treats because they are made on dedicated lines. I personally would get the ice cream sundays. :D She also recommended staying away from the blizzards because of the high risk of cross contamination.

Just thought I'd pass on the information.

I have a Dairy Queen several blocks away and in the next town over. Here I do the sundays on the list but you have to watch out for the whipped cream and nuts. I always felt bad the next day and deceided to try it with out the whipped cream and nuts (pecans for me) didn't have any problems. I talked with the mgr and he read me the list on the whipped cream it sounded ok but the pecans seem to have some kind of light coating and I didn't ask about them. I had a sunday in the next town over and was violently ill within an hour. I don't normally have the whole big D thing going on but that day I did and for several days after. I was also in a lot of joint pain. My first experience being glutened after going off gluten for 4 weeks. So enjoy but be for warned.

      Gluten Free Soy Flour - Where to buy?

      By Jules87 · Posted

      Hello!  I like to use soy flour for baking and recently discovered that Bob's Red Mill has discontinued its soy flour product. I've been able to find it at a few local international grocery stores but I have some concerns about cross contamination. Wondering if anyone knows a company / brand that specifically calls out their soy flour is gluten free? Or at least cleans the line before producing it? Thank you for any suggestions in advance!

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Did you get a blood screening done for celiac disease? If so, feel free to share your results here. Normally this is done before a biopsy, and after a positive blood test. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Hi, @Matt13, About half of people with Celiac Disease react to Casein, the protein in dairy, in the same way as to the protein Gluten.  They have similar segments of polypeptides which trigger the autoimmune response of Celiac Disease. Damage to the Villa lining the intestines can be patchy or beyond the reach of the endoscopy equipment.   Hope this helps!

      Nutritional deficiencies caused by undiagnosed, untreated Celiac Disease can cause symptoms like you describe.  Malabsorption of nutrients is caused by damage to the intestinal lining which makes absorbing essential nutrients difficult.  We need to absorb sufficient vitamins and minerals from our diet everyday to make sure our body functions properly. Different vitamins and minerals can be stored for different amounts of time, but usually one of the first to become insufficient is Thiamin Vitamin B 1.   Every cell in our bodies uses Thiamin as an energy source to do cell functions, especially the brain.  Our brain just sitting and thinking uses as much thiamine as muscles do running a marathon.   Emotional trauma and physical trauma can each precipitate thiamine deficiency disorders.   Thiamine deficiency disorders can manifest as sudden weight loss (without trying to lose weight),  OR sudden weight gain.  Pins and needles (paresthesia, neuropathy), muscle aches and cramps, forgetfulness and brain fog, insomnia, frequent urination, constipation and/or diarrhea, and abdominal pain are all symptoms of deficiencies in Thiamine and other B vitamins.   Gastrointestinal BeriBeri  is caused by Thiamin deficiency with the symptoms of nausea and abdominal pain.   Doctors are not well educated in nutritional deficiencies, so deficiency symptoms are often brushed aside and ignored or attributed to other things.   Blood tests are not accurate measures of thiamine or other B vitamin deficiencies.  The best way to determine a thiamine deficiency is to take thiamine and look for improvement of symptoms. Symptoms should improve within hours or days.  Doctors can administer thiamine intravenously for faster results, but over-the-counter Benfothiamine (an active form of thiamine) works just as well.  Thiamine is not harmful to be administered because thiamin is water soluble, meaning excess is easily excreted by the kidneys.  Thiamine is nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps with PTSD and C-PTSD.  PTSD happens after one traumatic event or series of events.  C-PTSD happens after being chronically traumatized, day after day, frequently starting in childhood.  An example of Chronic PTSD would be a child being told their stomach aches were faked to get out of going to school because the child was really just lazy, when in reality the child has undiagnosed active Celiac Disease and diverticulitis.  My blog on this site has more information on my journey and thiamine deficiency. Do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about correcting nutritional deficiencies that accrue in Celiac Disease.  Ask about Gastrointestinal BeriBeri.

      Thanks.  I never would have dreamed this would take so much research!
