What Type Of "milk" To Drink?!

Can anyone help...

If I can't have dairy or cassein that takes away milk, 1/2 & 1/2, creamer, ect.

If I can't have soy, that takes away my unsweetened soy and silk soy that I love.

So, what do I have with my coffee? I've heard I could have rice milk, but then I've heard also that some Rice Milk has gluten in it.

Does anyone know? Are there any brands that I can have? I need something in my coffee!!!

Thanks!

Pacific Rice Milk

Whole Foods 365 Rice Milk

Wild Oats brand Rice Milk

Almond Breeze

Living Harvest Hemp Milk

Vance's Darifree

There's more. Avoid soy milk and Rice Dream. There are lots of other options though.

I liked the Hazelnut milk until I realized that I have an intolerance to the calcium that is added to almost all non-dairy milks and OJs. I now use plain hemp milk with no problems at all. I haven't tried the vanilla hemp milk yet.

I LOVE the Blue Diamond Unsweetened Almond Milk, either Vanilla or Chocolate flavor.

It only has 40 calories per cup, & no after taste. I use the Vanilla in my cereals, used it to

cook my rice hot cereal today, & to dunk my gluten-free cookies in! I use the Chocolate one in smoothies

& add a banana & some frozen cherries, with a little Stevia to sweeten it. I'm glad I found it,

because now I can enjoy things I was missing since I can't have casein or soy either.

Good luck!

I love Pacific Almond Milk.

The Vanilla Almond is so good in hot tea :)

Actually, Rice Dream now states that all of their non-dairy beverages are gluten and soy free. I tried the new Vanilla Hazelnut Supreme today in my coffee, and YUMMY!! No reaction either, belly and skin were fine. (I break out in a rash with soy too.)

The theory re. Rice Dream is that the formula is the same (contains barley) but the labeling is different due to the upcoming new gluten-free labeling law (products containing less than 20ppm gluten can be labeled gluten-free).

I'm wondering if anyone has contacted the company to confirm that the recipe is the same, or if we are just assuming? Sorry, I know there have been a few threads on this already...

The formulation for Rice Dream has not changed--they just don't state it on the box anymore. It is still processed with barley.

Mango--I did just call the company while I was posting--they confirmed that the recipe has not changed--it can now be labeled gluten-free because the levels are low enough according to the FDA. I asked what the level was, and she couldn't tell me.

Just stick with the Living Harvest hemp milk. This I really like. I bought a different kind (sorry, I don't remember the name) and it tasted really nasty and completely different. I guess there must be people who like it, but ... my daughter and I couldn't stand the stuff even when we put hot chocolate mix in it B)

I like using hemp milk because of the omega 3's it contains. But I do get rice and almond milks from time to time for a change of pace.

Oh dear. This worries me. A lot. I keep hearing things here and there about new labeling laws... Is this what people are referring to when they talk about Codex?

I'm really, really worried about this. Now companies can label things gluten-free, when they're not?? What's the deal with this?

I tried a different brand too. I think it was called Hemp Bliss. I too, will be sticking with Living Harvest (and may never be brave enough to try another brand again :rolleyes:B) ) It was pretty bad <_<

Yes, that rings a bell now that you mention it. I remember the name was inappropriate given the product. Awful, awful stuff :o

My super picky "real Milk" loving child loves "English Bay Original" it a potato milk.

My little chocoholic sillyhead loves "Manitoba Harvest" Hemp Bliss-choclate flavor!

We also use WestSoy Rice milk for baking. None of them will brink a glass of it!

I've tried a lot of different milks. My favorite is almond milk and rice milk is a fairly distant second. Potato milk works fairly well in baking. I tried hemp milk and spat it out; the flavor was too strong.

The flavor of the two brands of hemp milk I've tried were vastly different. Was it, perchance, the Hemp Bliss stuff you tried?

Vanilla almond milk is my fav.

It even works in place of cow's milk in gluten free pancakes.

I use Dairy Land Lactose Free milk. Doesnt seem to bother me. But I am only off Dairy temp. for three months and the I can have it back. I have not been sick yet, but I dont drink it. I just use it in baking and cooking. I am super picky with milk and if I cant drink my 1% then I wont drink any at all.

I drink Dairy Ease it is 100% lactose free milk I am not sure of the gluten content but I don't think that it bothers me any. The Soy milk does bother me.

Thanks! I guess it's silly to believe a website and carton of a box that says "gluten free"! I just really thought after reading the site, contacting them, and having gluten free on the carton was enough. I guess I'm back to not trusting anyone anymore! :(

(I read on the chocolate chai milk package, it did state that there was 0.02ppm of barley in that one, but not the others.....very strange.)

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
