Enriched Rice?

I have heard a couple times now something about enriched rice. What is the concern and is there a way to know if it's a problem? How many of you just avoid all together?

You'll want to do further research on your own (calling companies and whatnot), but what I have heard from rice producers in California is that it has always been a myth (well, in at least the past decade) that any gluten was a part of their enrichment formula. I haven't had any problem with CA rice myself.

In Mexico you can get white rice with out the enrichment. The problem is you can not get a good brown rice down there. :huh:

I have a feeling that there is a law in the U.S. that makes the rice growers put enrichments in their white rice. :blink:

I did notice that a Texas brand of rice had a warning on the label about the fact that there is wheat and nuts processes in the same factory (the warning was also on the brown rice). Texas rice might not be a safe bet. <_<

Stick with the California brown rice. It does take a bit longer to cook, but you have the added fiber, vitamins and minerals in your diet. :D

      Rosacia

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Nita hearn! It's interesting that you should ask this question. I just has an appointment with my dermatologist last week because I have developed a red rash on my cheeks and red bumps/pimples in the bridge of my nose. My wife was concerned that I might have developed rosacea, which she developed years ago. She's not a celiac but I am and I was diagnosed with celiac disease over 20 years ago. This rash is a very recent development, however. The dermatologist was not yet ready to call it rosacea but he did prescribe a antibiotic cream for me (Metronidazole) and an over the counter medicated gel called Aquaphor.  I'm sure you've heard of dermatitis herpetiformis, the classic rash that some celiacs get. But what I have doesn't look like that and there is not itching or discomfort. Dermatitis herpetiformis comes with an intense itch and it has pustules in the center of the bumps. So, I am wondering if I have developed rosacea but not sure at this point. And so far, the two meds prescribed haven't helped but I've only been using them a few days.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I noticed that too! I emailed them to ask if this had always been the case and the labeling changed, or if the manufacturing had changed.  Their answer unfortunately didn’t answer my question. The organization (GFFP) they use to certify only requires ONE test per product! Product must test less than 5ppm gluten, so that is good. I can’t tell from their website if they actually audit the manufacturing facilities like GFCO does. GFFP certification I’ve decided to go to Tierra Farm for nuts.  They are certified by GFCO, which uses a 10ppm standard, but they require more than one lot to be tested, they do audits of manufacturing facilities, and their detailed requirements are available on their website. Unfortunately Tierra Farm nuts are expensive.They have all three nuts/seeds that you mentioned. Their packaging says gluten free facility. GFCO certification

      is equate menstrual complete gluten free?

      A combination of Thiamine B 1, Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12 relieve pain.   Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan  is the brand I get for a convenient, all-in-one pill.  However separate vitamin supplements of each if the three vitamins works just the same.   This works for pain from all sorts of reasons.  I take it for back pain for crushed vertebrae so I know it works well.
