What brand was it? Natural flavors would be the only ingredient in that list I would be concerned about.

The "Natural flavors", "soy" or "Corn syrup" could be offending ingredients if you have additional allergies, or the "natural flavors" are from something that is not GF...

That is a very high fat ice cream. Its what they recommend (by name!)on a diet sheet I've gotten for the three day prep for the fecal fat test, because its one way to get the needed 100 grams of fat a day down without sitting around eating butter. If your diet is normally very low fat, and you eat a carton of Dulce de Leche and become ill, then it may be a symptom of malabsorption. How much did it take to get symptoms?

Hagen Dasz is owend by Nestle. They have good labeling practices, and disclose their gluten sources. I would not be concerned (from a gluten standpoint) about the natural flavors in that product.

+1 on the high fat possibly being the problem. Especially if you are new to gluten free and your body hasn't been able to fully heal yet. I'm better than I used to be, but still get an upset stomach from some high fat stuff. People wonder how I stay skinny, but it's easy when anything high fat passes through undigested.

One of my celiac friends got me hooked on Dulce de Leche ice cream as a decadent treat. I have never had a reaction to it, but I bought one of the single-serving ones as a treat (on a day everyone else was getting birthday cake) and that little 1/2-cup serving had something like 18 grams of fat in it.

So it is possible the fat had something to do with you getting ill, or maybe cross-contamination if other ice creams or desserts were being served.

+another vote for fat content. You could also have issues with dairy that aren't as obvious until you eat a pint of ice cream all at once.
