Rice Dream milk

I know that there was a lot of information a few years back on this milk indicating that it was not gluten free.  I am having difficulty with digesting other milks and was wondering if it is affecting anyone negatively now.  Hoping not. Not sure why they still advertise gluten-free if it is not.  I can't find any other brands locally.  Please let me know of gluten-free good quality rice milk if this one is not gluten free.  Thanks!

They say they test for gluten.  I would use it.

I would trust it but, rice milk is really thin, it does not work in baking as a milk alternative very well either. -_- I recently had a issue with hemp milk and can tell you none of them seem safe. I use almond and cashew milks from 2 different companies (HEB, Almond Breeze), and Flax Milk from Good Karma. Elmhurst Harvest did have pistachio, walnut, and almond milks but pulled their lines and will be bringing them back next year.

I looooove Rice Dream, but my digestion hates it so I've switched to Almond milk although that's not perfect with my digestion either ? It's not a Celiac reaction, more like a sensitivity which I've heard from multiple people about rice milk. Hope you find one that's ok for you! If so please share, I may give it a try ?

I would recommend not using Rice Dream.  Years ago they listed a small amount of barley as one of their ingredients.  They no longer list this as an ingredient and thus tests gluten free.  Some sensitive people may be reacting to this.

Sorry.  I don't understand this logic.  I can't imagine that some left-over barley, from years ago, might still be in the machines glutening the product.  Even assuming they are actually using all the same machines, and never cleaned them, it must have washed out by now?   Plus, they say they test for gluten.

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.
