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.

      Rectal pain

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this. I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead...

      Gluten free nuts

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat. I am going to keep checking. Thank...

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this.  I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure down there perhaps added pressure to already sensitised pelvic and rectal muscles. Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?
