Has anyone ever gotten glutened from eating B&J?

I think they label their products clearly, so if you don't see any gluten listed, it should be safe. You can try to Google Ben&Jerry's - Gluten Free to see if you can find a current listing.

Yes, they do list any gluten, but I was just wondering if anyone's gotten sick from cross contamination.

Ever since I got sick eating an Amy's gluten free meal, I'm leery.

Well then, you might want to contact them about their production policies before you indulge yourself. :)

I haven't had any luck with Ben and Jerry's and it's a shame because I LOVE their ice cream. It seems that all of their gluten free flavors have corn, and all of their corn free flavors have gluten! The last time I tried it was during a weak moment. I got the peanut butter cup flavor which contains all glute free/corn free ingredients, but the label DID say that although the peanut butter cups themselves were gluten free, they are made in a facility that processes wheat. And it got me.

Hagen Daz is good, and my favorite of all time (actually, one of the things I LIVE for!) is Starbucks ice cream!! I don't care how much it costs, it's worth it.

They don't sell Starbucks where I live. I have to drive 60 miles to get it. But while I'm there I stock up on Cabot Vermont Extra Sharp White Cheddar. (All they sell here in the middle of nowhere is that disgusting orange cheese.) And I also stock up on Cape Cod potato chips. AND Kettle Brand. (I still like my junk food, but I'm getting better.)

And of course, going to a national grocery chain instead of the tiny little grocery stores in my town, I get better quality meats and produce, and at better prices.

And on top of that, if I go to the two national chains over the border in Nebraska, I don't have to pay sales tax like I do here in South Dakota. Well worth a monthly trip.

I second Starbucks! You can make homemade ice cream - milk, sugar, vanilla....put it in a freezer.

Cheap and you know the ingredients!

If you want a great experience try Talenti Gelato. Holy Moley!!! I found some salted caramel flavor today and can't wait to try it tonight !!! I'll be beating the hubby and kid to keep them away from it....

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, Brianne03! It is relatively easy, as you have discovered, to identify gluten-free products when considering only intentional ingredients but it can be much more difficult or impossible to get definitive answers about cross contamination. Does your daughter fall into the supersensitive category of celiacs? That is, does she have definite reactions to very small amounts of gluten exposure? If not, you might do well to just focus on listed ingredients and not worry too much about CC (cross contamination). In the things you list, gum and cough drops are probably the biggest concern. Most chewing gums have wheat starch in them. But some don't. My practice is to include the terms "gluten free" in my Amazon searches for those kinds of products. As to medications, this might be helpful but CC can not be ruled out with generic drugs:  http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/list.htm

      Our 17 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and we haven't had any real education from her doctor yet; we are waiting for an upcoming appointment, so I've been trying to navigate and educate myself on my own. There are multiple products my daughter uses, such as medications, cough drops, chapstick, gum, etc. that do not contain gluten containing ingredients, but the manufacturers have not labeled the items gluten-free due to processing in a place that might pose a risk of cross contact or maybe not wanting to pay to test their products. How do we safely handle this? Is it a matter of comfortability or reaction?

      Neurological/Nervous System Symptoms

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello, I’ve been gluten free for over a year now. I now know and understand that I have been celiac my whole life and my body has been battling without me knowing. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else after diagnosis but I feel like my immune is system is stuck fighting. My mouth is always tingling, I always see stars in my vision, my heart is always pounding, I am always shakey, I get super warm at times. I also cant get rid of this frequent urination either. I definitely notice improvements since going gluten free but its like my body does not have enough power itself to push through this stage. I have an appointment with my doctor this Thursday. But I am wondering if anyone else has experienced symptoms like this and if there is any cause for concern that my nervous system is damaged.
