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!

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.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
