Hidden Gluten In Rice Dream Milk?


jayzeemomma

Recommended Posts

jayzeemomma Rookie

The ingredients on the Original Rice Dream beverage from the grocery store are very simple and do not contain gluten:water, organic brown rice (partially milled), expeller pressed high oleic safflower oil and /or sunflower or canola oil, sea salt. And that is it, except I went to the website just to see and it says it is not gluten free because they process it with a barley enzyme (which they discard so some may or may not be left behind), but this makes it not gluten free, and makes me very nervous about eating anything but fruits and vegetables if you know what I mean. The ingredient list was safe and no where on the box did it say anything about gluten, so I drank some and then later found this info out on the website. I wonder how to deal with this and how to ever really know if something is gluten free.

Thanks so much!

It is not gluten free. Avoid it. They used to list the barley enzyme / gluten warning on some of their boxes but I think they've stopped. It is the grandest scam out there. Depending on your sensitivity level you may not notice a problem with one intake or two. That is kind of how I am. However if I use this stuff in cereal every day for a week or two then I begin to become ill.

There are other rice milk options that are safe. Lundberg is one and Pacific Rice is another.

The ones in my grocery store say "not a gluten free product contains barley enzyme" this is the one with the heart on the front and the other one states gluten free. I decided to change to almond milk but always read cartons to be sure of any product since they will sometimes change ingredients or suppliers even if always gluten free before.

Hi jayzeemomma,

have you ever considered using 'Vance's Darifree' it's a dairy substitute derived from potato.

Yeah, the Rice Dream is really bad. Some cartons say it is not gluten free and some say it contains some really tiny amount of gluten. But they put that warning on the box in a weird place where you won't see it until after you've brought it home and perhaps even consumed a few cartons.

      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.
