Do you have a Wegmans near you? I don't know if they are in NYC or thereabouts. They have recently come out with a Rice Milk that is for sure for certain gluten-free and I like it a lot. It has a long shelf life so if you do need to travel a bit to get it you can stock up for months :) They also label all their gluten-free stuff which makes shopping so much easier. I have never been CC'd in over 5 years and they are also one of the few companies that also make sure the vinagers and alcohols that are in their products are gluten-free.

Rice Dream has never been OK. But there are many folks here who swear by Pacific. That's too bad, everything is becoming a problem. =(

Although Pacific is not made on dedicated equipment, I've been using it for 3 years now daily and have not ever had a problem with it.

I use either Whole Foods brand plain rice milk or Pacific Foods plain rice milk daily, too, without any problems for two years now.

Hopefully, you can find a rice milk that works for you.

What is wrong with Pacific?

I've used Westsoy Rice Beverage for several years, and I recently called the company because I have an--as yet--unidentified source of gluten in my diet that's causing me problems. The representative told me that it's gluten-free. The reason it's not labeled that way is because they have to guarantee to test each batch in order to put that on the package, and the company's not willing to do that. However, I've never had a problem with it. Be sure to shake it up well before you pour it as it tends to separate if it sits for a while.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
