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.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
