It's gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free and I really want to try it :lol: , but I can't find it anywhere. Has anyone tried it? Is it good?

How ironic! I was JUST going out to buy some in a few minutes! I saw it a few days ago in Whole Foods, but they only had the peach version. I don't care for peach much, and I wasn't sure if it was gluten free, so I went home and looked it up on the computer. I'm going back today in hopes that they'll have the blueberry or strawberry version! It'll be nice because I don't feel that confident in my "Whole Soy" yogurt cups...I hear that with hormone problems, soy isn't the best for ya. So I'm excited to test this out!

ooo... maybe they'll put out a plain that doesn't have so much sugar (but also doesn't have artificial sweeteners) soon.

This looks great--if it didn't contain tapioca, I'd be all over it. I miss yogurt!

Okay, so I took that drive down to whole foods and to my surprise, they were already sold out of Ricera yogurt :( AND to top it all off...it's back-ordered for the whole west coast :( They didn't know that it was going to be so popular! The nice man that was working the dairy section told me that they aren't back ordered on the east coast, so all of you over there are lucky :) But here in California, he said we're going to have to wait QUITE a while until we get a hold of some. Bummer. You all have to get your hands on some and tell me how it is!

Bummer, but thanks for posting that info. I'm in California too, so I'll stop wasting my time trying to find it for a while :). Who would have thought rice yogurt would be that popular :lol:

Thanks for posting that. UNFORTUNATELY I have a diagnosed allergy to cane sugar (evaporated cane juice) which they use in all their flavors. Nevertheless I wrote to them and requested that they consider making an unsweetened variety. I MISS YOGURT, which I gave up 3 years ago after my dairy/casein allergy diagnosis. SIGH

I tried a rice yogurt which I purchased at Whole Foods (east coast). I can't remember if it was Ricera brand. It was just okay in my opinion.

As an aside, I recently have found that although I can't tolerate products made from cow milk, I do fine with ones made from goat and sheep milk. I'm not sure why, but someone mentioned to me that the proteins are different enough between cow and goat/sheep milk that it is possible to react to one but not the other.

Okay so the rice yogurt finally appeared in my health food store..

First I tried the vanilla flavor. It has a chunky, gelatin-like consistancy and, well, it's gross. Stay away from that one.

The blueberry and peach flavors are good - creamy, good texture and everything...but reeeally sweet - like 20 grams of sugar in each cup. Too much. Not bad though for the soy and dairy-free ppl really wanting yogurt.

Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know the stuff is finally available on the West Coast :) I got it for 1.25/cup at my uber crazy expensive health food store...so not bad I guess for a rare specialty item :rolleyes: LOL Happy yogurt eating :D

I'm glad you enjoyed peach and blueberry....stay away from Strawberry though! It's got that gelatin consistancy that you mentioned! Ugh. I'm too scared to try peach or blueberry after that experience. lol.

We use Ricera to make smoothies....dd won't eat them plain. I was bummed. She loved yogurt before she had to give up dairy, and then liked soy yogurt before she had to give up soy. I was hoping this was the ticket, but as you guys said - weird consistency, way too sweet, and also a strange aftertaste. Oh, well....luckily, anything tastes good whirled around in the blender with enough frozen fruit, lol!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
