Safe Rice Milk


krisb

Recommended Posts

What rice milk is safe for gluten? My son has been having belly problems and I just read that Rice dream has barley. I've been using Shoprite brand. I wonder if he is getting gluten. I'm going to call Shoprite and ask but they are clueless about anything I ask. I was using Rice dream also on and off if it's on sale. I know his belly is reacting to something and I'm just trying to figure it out.

I don't have any problems with Whole Foods 365 Organic Rice Milk, Wild Oats brand Rice Milk or Lundberg's Drink Rice.

i have also cked on and used wild oats and whole foods (my two favorites) as well as pacific's (tastes a little mayoish to me) and full circle (good tasting).

I know someone already posted Lundberg's ricemilk, but I just want to add that I LOVE THE TASTE OF IT! I go through 3 cartons a week! Is that bad? :rolleyes: hahah I don't care actually. I get the vanilla kind, but the original tastes good too.

Yep, Lundenberg farms rice milk is good. I find that I have to watch my intake though b.c it is high carb and it seems to make me hungrier sooner than other foods. Enjoy!

I can't seem to find any of these rice milks anywhere. I tried to find it online but i can't. I don't have a wholefoods near me. I have a health foods store but they only have Rice dream and Garden of Eden soy and rice.

Hi - This is my first time posting here and I'm wondering about this Rice Dream situation. What I found is that on the Rice Dream "Original" package, there is no barley, but on the "Enriched" brand there is -- and they have clearly stated the amount of gluten in the product on the packaging. I have assumed that the "Original" is okay to drink.

Am I wrong? I've been drinking this every day for quite a while now. Over the past week I've developed some kind of inflammation in my stomach, though, and am wondering if this could be part of the problem.

I've been gluten-free since 1997 and am working towards becoming dairy free as well.

Thanks.

Kathy-

Go here to read their statement and see a gluten-free list: Open Original Shared Link They list no rice dream beverage as safe.

What about Westsoy rice milk? Is that safe? The company didn't get back to me yet. It's from Hanes I think.

jenvan - where do you get the rice chips?? whole foods? i saw them on the lundberg website - but havent found them in stores. they look so good.

I believe westsoy is okay. At least i think. I drank it without any problem.

Hi!

Have you ever tried the Blue Diamond brand almond milk. I too do not have access to some of the gluten free rice milks, but my grocery store carries the almond milk. The chocolate is really good you might want to try it.

Cheryl : :D

EdenSoy has a rice/soy blend that clearly states gluten-free. Claire

I get my chips at either Wild Oats, another local health food store or Kroger--ours has a 'natural' section with the chips. I thought Whole Foods has them too...pretty sure I bought some at one of the Whole Foods in Chicago. You'll really like them :)

      Welcome to the forum, @NCalvo822! Ditto to what Scott said. But let me ask you, what method or methods did your physician use to diagnose you as having celiac disease? Normally, it is a two step process. The first step involves a blood test that looks for certain antibodies produced by celiac disease. The second step involves an upper GI scoping and biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage to the lining typically caused by celiac disease. This second step is used as confirmation of the blood work when the antibody testing turns up some positives. Occasionally, positive antibody tests scores can be caused by things besides celiac disease. Which of these were done or did you have both done before the doc declared you to have celiac disease?

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!
