Rice Dream

I was very sad when I discovered that Rice Dream wasn't fully gluten-free, not only because I had naively been using it during my elimination diet phase, but also because I vastly preferred the taste of their product over the others that were available. I tried Blue Diamond and a number of other brands of Hemp, Almond and various other nutty or rice milks, all with disappointment. So I wrote them an email many months ago bemoaning this fact. Just today I received a reply:

Dear Ms. Warren,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us. We apologize for the delay in our reply and appreciate your patience. We strive to maintain the highest quality products and we appreciate your patronage.

We appreciate your comments. We are moving in that direction and soon you will see that our Rice Dream is marked gluten free, so please keep checking. That change should be made shortly.

Thank you for your continued support. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-434-4246, Monday through Friday from 7AM - 5PM Mountain Time.

Sincerely,

Andrea

Consumer Relations Representative

I am excited!

That's good news.

Now, if their frozen rice dream is also going to be gluten-free, I'll be a happy camper! :P

Most of their frozen stuff already is. My son was just eating Neopolitan flavor as an after-school snack. I'd love it if they made "Cookies and Dream" and the Mint Carob Chip gluten-free - that would be wonderful!

ditto this is my all-time favorite flavor of "ice cream"

What concerns me is that the email mentions it will soon be "marked gluten free" and not that it is becoming gluten free. Would the FDA guidelines that are coming out allow the malt content of Rice Dream to be labeled gluten free? I was thinking some of the information I had read about the guidelines was that there would be a certain threshold to mark gluten free.

They claim the frozen stuff is gluten free but I don't see how it could be.

I have a container of the Rice Dreams vanilla ice cream in my freezer and I don't see any offending ingredients.

Has anyone tried Whole Foods own brand of rice milk. My son loves it. It looks just as thick as regular milk. Since we don't live that close to one we only go about once a month so in between he drinks WestSoy's rice milk. He likes that a lot too.

You won't see the offending ingredients on the regular Rice Dream either. But there is a blurb talking about how they use barley to polish the rice, so this makes it not be gluten free.

I would presume the frozen Rice Dream is made from the liquid stuff. But I could be wrong.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      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.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
