I didn't know that about natural flavors. Thanks@

You are welcome! Natural flavors are definitely tricky. I like this card that Erin from the Celiac Space makes that lists these types ingredients that could have gluten in them. I bought it a couple of years ago and still reference it when I’m not sure about an ingredient: https://www.theceliacspace.com/product-page/no-whoa-key-card

Cool! We just found out my son is gluten intolerant last year and are still figuring things out.

Is there a more perfect summer story for celiacs than this? Love it!

Thanks, Hilary - glad you enjoyed it! I will certainly be eating as much ice cream as I can before summer is over!

Such an informative and thoughtful article! Straus Family Creamery (sold in stores) is my favorite brand and they have a GF Cookies and Cream flavor! It is childhood in a tub!

Love this! So helpful for those new to this diagnosis and a great resource for parents of kids with celiac! No one wants to miss out on the summer ice cream cone!

I'm so glad you found this article helpful! I totally agree - everyone should be able to enjoy ice cream, regardless of their dietary restrictions!

Frankie and Joe's in Seattle is EXCEPTIONAL!! Dairy free and gluten free. Very creative and delicious classic flavors and seasonal flavors.

Oh yes, I did go there last summer on a work trip! I’m going to update my newsletter and add them to the list - thank you for the recommendation!

This is great advice! One of the ice cream shops near me asked that I call when we are on the way and they pull a fresh tub from the big freezer so it can start to soften, when we get there it is ready to scoop!

That's awesome! What a great idea to call ahead.
