Trader Joe's Rice Milk

Does anyone here use Trader Joe's rice milk successfully? Do you know whether it is made by the same company that makes Rice Dream? (Private label foods are often made by big manufacturers and just re-packaged under other names).

The reason I ask is that there was a thread on this message board about Rice Dream not really being gluten-free, even though its new label says it is.

If Trader Joe's brand is no good, which brand is truly gluten-free?

Thank you.

Do you know how easy this is to make yourself?

It won't have all the added nutrition.....

Coconut?

I'm not sure about whether it's made by the same people, but I posted on the other thread that I made my own the other night. It was surprisingly easy - Blended 1 c cooked rice, 4 c water, 1 tbs vanilla and about 1.5 tbs honey. I did put it through a nut milk bag after but if you have a good blender you may not have to do that extra step. My super picky son loved it. Since I'm pretty sure he had a reaction to Rice Dream after having it several days in a row, I don't think I'm going to buy it again b/c making it myself was so easy (and cheap!).

I believe Whole Foods rice milk is safe to drink. Rice Dream in the past used barley in the process...a small amount, I'm sure, but enough to make me sick when drinking it on a regular basis. Companies are allowed to have a small amount of gluten in their product, without having to declare it on the label. I switched to coconut milk, and Vance's Dari free (I'm lactose intolerant) and have had no problem. I always thought when making your own rice milk, you ground raw rice to a powder...so I never made it myself. Thanks to the recipe posted here using cooked rice, I can't wait to give it a try.

I received just now e-mal from Trader Joe's company about rice milk. Here it is:

Simona,

Thank you for your email. We cannot provide the exact testing method used for our Gluten Free statement. However, any product with this statement has been tested and meets or exceeds CODEX standards. Our products labeled as Gluten Free rarely exceed 10ppm.

Sincerely,

Amy

I have been using Trader Joe's rice milk for over 2 years. I think is safe because I never had any bloating after I drank it, or cooked form it.

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.

      For the vast majority of celiacs it's probably safe, however, it seems that for those who are super sensitive it's best to avoid such products. It's fairly easy now to find brands that are naturally gluten-free, which is what Celiac.com recommends.  You might finds this article interesting:
