Rice Milk .002% Gluten From Barley

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!

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).

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?

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.

      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.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

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.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
