Rice Milk .002% Gluten From Barley


BarbaQ

Recommended Posts

BarbaQ Rookie

Hello

My 1 1/2 year old son has just been diagnosed with gluten intolerance. We are trying to come to terms with what this really means. We knew he had allergies and were in the middle of an exclusion diet when he tested positive for gluten. He is also dairy intolerant, allergic to chick peas, split peas, green peas and lentils.

Can he have rice milk? It states on the container that it has .002% gluten from barley. Any advice?

Thanks

Barb

No, he can not have that brand rice milk. I am sure someone will post safe brands of Rice Milk and other dairy free alternatives.

I wouldnt give it to him. I struggled for a long time to find a "milk" I actually like. Mostly I make my own almond or hazelnut milk. But I do buy this brand. We all like it and it is good to cook/bake with :

He can't have that brand of rice milk. He can have Pacific rice milk, Whole Foods 365 brand rice milk....there are a few others as well. You can also just go entirely without milk substitutes if your son doesn't really like them.

Oh - and I second Shay's hemp milk suggestion. That brand is quite good and offers some nutrition you won't find in many of the "milks" out there. :)

I use the plain hemp milk to make white "cream" sauces and it is yummy. :)

Rice milk has gluten? I hadn't checked into it yet but was planning to now that I know I'm lactose intolerant. Wow!

ShayFL Enthusiast

Only some brands Beth. You have to read labels and sometimes call manufacturers.

I third it - and it's cheaper even at Whole Foods than it is on the website that Shay gave. (I think I pay $3.99 a box or something like that.) The vanilla makes a FABULOUS latte!

I buy it at Whole Foods too. I just linked to the site so she could "see" it.

It does! I especially love chai lattes made w/ the vanilla flavor. YUM! It's great for baking too, and for smoothies, and for cereal. It's pretty much just awesome in every way! :lol: (I really am not a hemp milk sales person, I promise LOL).

Beth in NC Contributor

Which of the Hemp milks would you put over cereal...Rice Chex...I was just loving getting a cold bowl of cereal when I realized the lactose intolerance.

Original or Vanilla?

ShayFL Enthusiast

I think either one would be fine Beth. I always just buy the original. If you want it vanilla. Add a tsp of vanilla extract to it. :)

I buy their milk too. It's really good, but it has a bit of a "nutty" taste, but it's so creamy and I love it.

Yes, I'd advise against feeding your son that rice milk (probably Rice Dream). Instead, I'd feed him nut or soy milk made by Pacific Organic Foods. But please be further advised that none of these is a baby formula. - P.J.

stick with Soy Milk or Hemp Milk

Giving soy to little boys (or anybody for that matter) is a bad idea, it will affect his sexual maturation due to the phytoestrogens in soy. Stick with rice, almond or hemp milk instead.

Okay so what is everyone's opinion on Goats Milk instead of cow's milk? I know there's the lactose intolerant crowd and the caisen sensitive crowd and supposedly goat's milk is okay for caisen sensitive? I haven't looked into this yet, it's just what DH was telling me because he thinks he is caisen sensitive.

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck
