Lundberg's Rice Express

I recently bought a Lundberg's Rice Express (Classic Beef) because right on the front it says "Gluten Free." Fortunately before I ate any I read the ingredient label. One of the ingredients is Malt Extract. I have e-mailed Lundberg Family Farms and asked them to remove their "gluten free" label for the sake of Celiacs.

Just be aware....READ, READ, READ

not all malt is made from barley. it's *definitely* worth checking, but I thought they used rice malt, for some reason.

I think that I have been glutened by that company. I don't trust them.

Oh dear---I thought they were trustworthy. Would you still eat their plain rice? Or would you be concerned about cross contamination even for that?

Lundberg specializes in rice. I don't think they even grow wheat. I eat their rice flour all the time and don't even worry about CC. I'm not saying that the malt is safe in the "rice express", but their plain rice shouldn't be a worry.

Several of their Rice Express flavors DO CONTAIN GLUTEN and are not labeled gluten-free... I also was glutened from the beef one which IS labeled gluten-free... The rest of their products are mainly gluten-free and I believe the Rice Express flavors are the only ones that do contain gluten, although WHY? I have no idea.

I eat the Lundberg plain rices - never any problems. I never buy anything "pre-seasoned" or whatever that's called. Stuff all flavored up in advance is asking for trouble IMHO. I always wonder what they really mean when the ingredients say "Spices", with absolutely no details. It doesn't take much brain power to add a few of my own spices and whatnot. If you have a favorite blend of spices you can premix them and keep a shaker of it handy.

Not true. According to their website, the only Rice Express flavor that contains gluten is Sesame Teriyaki.

according to the individual at the company that I spoke with after my glutening incident I was told that the Rice Express flavors are mfd. on shared lines and there may have been a risk of cc... overall they are a very good company, but in this case I know it was gluten that got me.

I have also eaten their plain rice...I love their wild rice mix whatever it's called (it's not seasoned). I also, do not usually buy pre-seasoned stuff, but saw this on the grocery shelf and thought it would be good for one of those hurry up, barely have time to eat, nights. I have not heard from Lundberg Farms in response to my e-mail. (See below) If indeed they use Rice malt or even corn malt, I would have expected some response already. I don't know. I don't want to judge them inaccurately or misguide anyone reading this thread. I just say "Heads up, everyone, regarding Rice Express"

My e-mail:

I was diagnosed with Celiac disease last December after going into severe malabsorption. Strict adherence to a gluten free diet has made all the difference in my health.

Recently I purchased a bag of Lundberg Rice Express because on the front it states "Gluten Free." After sticking it in the microwave, but before eating it (thankfully) I checked the ingredients. Malt Extract is one of the ingredients. Malt is derived from Barley and is to be avoided by those with Celiac.

Please change your labeling. Even minute traces of gluten can be extremely harmful to a Celiac.

Please see the Foods to Omit in the chart at the bottom of this site

Thank you for your consideration. For Celiac Disease patients this is an extremely serious concern.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
