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.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
