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.

      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.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      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...

      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/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
