Hidden Gluten In Rice Dream Milk?


jayzeemomma

Recommended Posts

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.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?

      I only notice recently every time I eat green beans the roof of my mouth gets slightly itchy and I get extreme dizziness.     I get shaky and sweaty and it last for an hour or two before it goes away. I’ve been allergy tested in the past for food allergens only two came back positive (both in the tree-nut family) nothing in the legumes.   (I do have a celiac disease diagnosis, the reason I was food allergy tested was because I ate a walnut and my lips swelled up)  I decided to test this out to be sure so I ate a couple of cooked green beans last night within 15 minutes I was spinning, my shirt drenched in sweat. My heart racing.   I’m not sure what this is, I do have issues with others vegetables  as my stomach doesn’t seem to tolerate them. Even when they’re cooked I just can’t digest them but they never made me as dizzy and sweaty as the green beans.    anyone else experience this?

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
