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.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

      By Anne G · Posted

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
