Thanks for the heads up. If I open a container of Double Chocolate and instead find Cookies & Cream, I'll know what happened. :o

best regards, lm

Mine comes every day or two and includes all sorts of recall info. Many times the recall is undeclared allergens so it is well worth everyone's time. Thanks.

Can someone help me out with Breyer's ice cream. Sorry if this has already been addressed somewhere.

For the most part is Breyer's ice cream gluten free? Like the basic flavors at least (vanilla, chocolate). I've seen that "Breyer's All Natural Ice Cream" is gluten free. Is this the same thing as just their standard ice cream? Or is this a separate 'line' of theirs? (For example, a low-fat breyers line or something). I assumed that the All Natural was something special, but after trying to figure it out online again, I'm beginning to think that all their ice cream is branded as "all natural". That's just part of their brand/title, not a separate series of flavors or something. I'm asking because where I work, the standard ice cream they use for shindigs is Breyer's, and I always avoid it thinking I can't have it, but now I'm wondering if I can.

Thanks. And this doesn't have to do with the recall for the mint/cookie dough thing, I just tried to find a recent thread about Breyer's.

Anyone? Can please help me out with what I asked above? ^

I'm familiar with Bryer's vanilla, strawberry, and peach. I believe those are safe, and I haven't experienced any symptoms from having them. I think chocolate is gluten-free too. Since celiac diagnosis, I haven't tried other flavors of Bryer's. Read the ingredient list to be sure.

Aside from the specific recall flavor, Breyer's Ice Cream is owned by Unilever. Their policy is to disclose all forms of gluten on their label. All you have to do is read the ingredient listing. If you don't see wheat, barley, malt or rye it's not in there.

Thanks you two. I did read the label last time and there was no wheat, barely, malt or rye. But again, I had it in my head that it wasn't safe for some reason (that only a special type of breyer' was safe), so I figured there was some gluten hidden in the 'natural flavors' or something along those lines. The only flavors they usually have at work are vanilla, chocolate or strawberry. So yay, maybe next time I can actually participate in the little shindig and eat some ice cream instead of just standing around like a doofus.

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!

      Well, the only thing I would conclude with would be, if you choose not to trial the gluten free diet, is to encourage you to get periodically tested, either antibody blood tests or the biopsy or both. I think it something that needs to be monitored.
