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.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      Probiotics

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
