Brown rice, in and of itself, plain brown rice is gluten-free.

It it's part of a rice mix, where other ingredients and flavors are added, you would need to check.

If the brown rice is used as an ingredient in a product, you would then need to check the gluten status of the product itself.

Brown rice and wheat are two completely different things.

Hope that clears it up for ya! :)

rice is gluten free. it's one of the easiest grains for us to find that's gluten free.

where did you get the information that brown rice had gluten?

Brown Rice is RICE, not wheat.

There is no wheat in brown rice.

Wild Rice has been the subject of lots of gluten rumors, even though it isn't really rice, is isn't wheat or barley either.

Both are inherently gluten free substances.

The only plants on earth that contain gluten are wheat, barley and rye. Oats are subject to cross contamination a lot, so are avoided by some Celiacs.

Brown rice is gluten free, as previously posted. I'm not sure where you heard this but it is perfectly safe.

However, some brown rice syrups are not gluten free...maybe this is what you heard or read??

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/
