Is Barley .002% Considered gluten-free?

Hi,

I have a 2 yr old who cannot tolerate milk. Normally we use Soy milk. But I have heard a lot of bad reports about giving young kids Soy products. The Rice Milk that is available states "contains Barley .002%" I know this is a very small amount but still.

Is this safe for gluten-free diet? Do any of you use products with this statement?

Any ideas for substitute milk product for toddler? Must be peanut and tree nut free. (No Almond milk, etc)

- Toddler is new to gluten-free diet. She got into whipped cream over the weekend and the results are not good. Massive diarhea problems - tons of mucus. Kid is miserable. Any thoughts????

Rice Dream - as far as I'm concerned, is not gluten free. I won't allow my kids to drink it.

We use Pacific Brand Rice Milk or Westsoy Rice milk.

Hi - Rice Dream is not safe for those with gluten intolerance or celiac. You can try Pacific Rice Milk or Whole Foods 365 Rice Milk. There are generally a few rice milk options at health food stores.

I've actually been drinking hemp milk. It's pretty good, and seems to have more of a nutritious value when compared to the stuff that's just rice and canola oil and synthetic vitamins.

Another option is making your own. Some people here do that. I think it's pretty easy if you have the correct appliance (there's something called a veganmilk maker)

Hope you find something that works. :)

Agreed---it is NOT gluten free. Its gluten lite. Which---does us no good.

I have heard good things about the two that Mango suggested.

One of my children drinks apple juice that has added calcium and vitamin D.

The other is 4 yrs old and has drank about 4 cups of Silk soymilk every day of his life. He is in the 90th percentile for height and weight and is developing just fine!

There is a very decent-tasting potato-based milk called "Vance's Dari-free." I believe it is only available mail-order, but I could be wrong. It is not expensive, though, as it comes in a powder (lower shipping charges!).

I've purchased Vance's Dari-Free at local grocery stores. =)

It has a nice sweet taste to it. I just made a B

I found it in this random environmental store. You can order it Open Original Shared Link though, or check your local health food store.

My son also drink Silk Vanilla Soy - the Calcium-fortified for kids. He drinks 2-3 cups a day and has been doing well with it. He also eats the Silk soy yogurt.

Thanks so much for all the input. A debate was raging on whether or not I was being just a tad crazy in regards to the ".002 % barley as being unsafe." I have always viewed this as unsafe for myself, but since I was facing limiting my child's food to only gluten-free I wanted other opinions.

The doctor has pulled her back off the gluten-free diet for now. Back to eating regular food - at least for her.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
