gluten-free Rice Mix To Try: Lundbergs


Candy

Recommended Posts

Candy Contributor

I've just discovered a gluten-free packaged rice mix about a week ago and ate it last night and tonite.

It's Lundberg's  Organic Whole Grain Rice & Seasoning mix and Wow ! It's a delicious godsend !

These gluten-free rice mixes are flavorful and wholesome. I was so surprised (with joy and satisfaction) when I discovered them at a supermarket on the gluten-free rack. These rice mixes have  two flavors that I saw:one with brown rice,wild rice,and porcini mushrooms ,and the other flavor  is Jambalaya, with brown rice onion,garlic,bell pepper,spices(black pepper,cayenne,cumin)dried tomato,smoke flavor,organic sunflower oil,and organic brown/rice concentrate , and so on.....

 

If the jambalaya one is as good as the brown rice and mushroom one then it's  a winner...

 

You gotta try 'em..

Lundberg's also does packaged risotto mixes that are excellent. Most are gluten-free and labeled as such.  I am very, very sensitive and have used their products for years and never have had a problem.  If you are in a pinch for time, these are the next best things to homemade!

I looked for their seasoned mixes at my usual grocery store to no avail, just the plain rice.  I do regularly make their quick-cooking brown and wild rice blend (orange package I think) using broth as the cooking liquid and adding herbs and garlic, makes a really nice quick side dish.  It doesn't have the usual odd texture of quick cooking rice that I usually can't stand.

At their website (Open Original Shared Link) they list 11 flavors of these kinds of rice -- I hope I can find them! My daughter misses Rice Pilaf (which has orzo made from wheat)....

 

I find the Lundberg products to be high quality overall. :-)

Let me chime in with praise for Lundberg's products. The risotto (every flavor I have tried) is excellent.

 

Another good rice mix is Riceland's long grain and wild rice mix. It is not marked gluten free, but the ingredients sound safe and I have used it several times with no bad results.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
