Rice Dream And Caramel Color

Good evening everyone,

I am rather new to this website and new to Celia disease. My son was diagnosed last week and I am confused on what is good to use and what is not. I have been using rice dream but only the ones that do not state made with .02% gluten. I read on some of them that it has gluten so I am confused but my son is milk, egg and soy tolerant as well so Rice milk is our only option. Since he has all those allergies the almond milk is out because it contains soy lechitin. I feel backed against the wall. What about Westsoy Rice milk? It does not state gluten free but it does say lactose and dairy free. I did not read anything bad but am unsure what to think. What about caramel color? My sons french fries say made with canola oil and has caramel color and annatto color. Is that ok? I am sorry to ask so many questions but it is all very overwhelming. Lastly, What do you think about Prego sauce. It does not state gluten free but had no ingredients that are an issue for my son. Should I trust it? I really appreciate this website and am sending big hugs to you all. Have a great night and thanks for reading my post.

Hugs Hugs,

Rosa

Caramel color usually isn't an issue if the product is made in the US. Call/email the company if you are unsure.

I use Prego sauce....the traditional variety I know for sure is gluten-free.

It can be overwhelming at first but once you get the hang of it, it is easier.

Good Luck!

Rosa,

It is SO frustrating in the beginning. Here is a listing of Companies who will clearly list all gluten (as in wheat, barley, malt and rye).

It does get better. :)

You could try hemp milk for your son. I was tree nut intolerant for a while and I love hemp milk now. Also, Trader Joe's or Whole Foods brands of rice milk are gluten free...not .2% or whatever of barley.

Hope that helps, and it will get easier. :)

Thank you so much for your responses ladies. It really helps to not feel alone (not that I wish this on anyone). Lisa I really appreciate the website I will visit it right now. Thanks again everyone and hugs hugs to you all. Have a great night.

Hugs Hugs,

Yes, I love hemp milk (the Living Harvest brand; I find Hemp Bliss nasty -- people's tastes can vary, I just mention it because, in case you try one and don't like it, well, the other one is different).

Does your son react to soy lecithin? Enterolab told me I could probably tolerate it. It is pure fat, so it doesn't contain the protein. If you look at soy allergy descriptions, you will see them say that you probably can have soy lecithin and perhaps some types of soybean oil as well. Of course, some people DO react to soy lecithin, so you have to be alert to the possibility.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
