Shouldn't all rice be okay, if it's not one of those shelf-stable flavored mixes? I've used whatever was on sale at the grocery store and never had a problem. Have I just dodged a bullet?

Rice in itself is naturally gluten free. Check the labels of Rice with seasonings.

well, I was at the store and most of the uncle ben's stuff I read didn't look ok, maybe I was just looking at the seasoned ones? Then I started worrying that Rice was processed with wheat (like oat) if not that is great!

Yeah, I never buy the seasoned stuff. This is just me, but shelf-stable meals-in-a-box freak me out. I've bought Uncle Ben's regular, non-seasoned, long-cooking rice and been fine, and also Mahatma. I haven't heard about rice being processed with wheat like oats are.

Plain rice is all gluten-free. For seasoned ones, read the ingredients or call.

I am using a boxed, pre boiled, quick rice of a generic brand for the dog's food because one box makes the right size pot full of rice I need for the other ingredients.

Every time I put it in the pot and it starts to simmer, a little grain or two of something else comes to the top, like a weed seed or a lentil, and I spoon it out. And I've used lots of boxes of it.

If I were going to be using it, I'd pour it in a bowl first and check it over. So far I haven't seen anything that looks like a wheat kernel, and I hope I don't.

For us, we just use bagged rice from California. And do have a look at it before cooking, just in case.

For rice products, Lundberg makes things that are marked gluten free, such as their rice cakes.

HI all,

I just wanted to say thanks for the reassurance about plain rice. Sometimes it is hard that it is my 3 yo that is celiac I am worried something may be upsetting her tummy and I won't know. I try to for the most part buy products that state gluten free so I don't have to worry about her.

Thanks!

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
