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!

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
