Whole Foods Gluten-free List

Last week I picked up the most recently updated Gluten Free list form my local Whole Foods. I was dismayed to see Rice Dream brand rice milk on there. <_< I used to drink the Organic Original Enriched (quart size you buy from the shelves). I continued to drink in after my diagnoses, never thinking to check the label. After not getting much better I started checking labels more closely and found the drink to contain gluten from barley protein-clearly labeled on the container. I felt like an idiot for not checking sooner.

I emailed Whole Foods and told them to take it off their list. I have not heard back from them but I got to wondering what else on there shouldn't be on there. Obviously I'll check labels but what about things that are labeled to include 'spices'. If they are on this list, should I trust them? :(

I look at it as a 'tool'. It is my responsibility to check labels, heck the list is atleast a starting point. I wouldn't hold it against them too much. Central Market had Kellogg's Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes on they're list. I don't think there is anyway it will ever be perfect unless we just eliminate gluten from the planet ;) wishful thinking..

I thought I read on this board that Rice dream is now gluten free? Apparently they changed the production process or ingredients or whatever (I don't drink rice milk, so didn't really pay attention) but anyway, are you sure it isn't gluten free? Sometimes products change for the better... :)

No, it says it right on the label-' contains gluten from barley protein at less that .002%' and to me that's not gluten free. Keep in mind this is not the stuff out of the fridge. I buy the shelved one so maybe it's something about that one. I check labels, but how do you all deal with the stuff that has 'spices' and 'natural flavorings'. If they are on this list, do you think they're safe to try?

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
