The Rice Dream is okay, but you might also look for Coconut Milk based Ice Cream. I have one daughter for whom gluten is a mortal enemy and she can eat that stuff with no problem. And ... It tastes INCREDIBLE!! Chocolate ice cream with a hint of coconut flavor (they have a bunch of other flavors too).

There are a couple of gluten free recipe books out there too that have some really good recipes. We've started using a lot of coconut flour in our cooking (makes OUTSTANDING pancakes), among other things.

The good thing about reducing your carbs and watching gluten is you can shift over to a higher protein diet - Lots of steak

Ever heard of "Rice Dream"? .....

A similar product is "Almond Breeze". Both are very good products and recommended in numerous dairy free diets. There is a lot of discussion (and anecdotal evidence) out there regarding the possible role of gluten and dairy in certain neurological disorders.

Ever heard of "Rice Dream"? It's a non-dairy ice cream made from rice milk. Rice milk is very creamy and naturally sweet. It makes great ice cream. You can get it in a lot of health food stores and some supermarkets. Sounds like a rough allergy to have. Hope this helps you, cause I just 'jacked a Mod's thread to share that with you...
