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!

      gluten free cookie recipes

      I know it's after the holidays, but it would still be fun to do a cookie recipe exchange on this forum.

      No red meat

      By Sheila G. · Posted

      I did talk to the nurse and she asked who told me no red meat.  I explained the person who called with the results of my blood work.  That was last week.  She told me the doctor was on vacation and would be back this week and she would talk to him and have someone call me this week.  I have not received a call yet.  I will call them back Monday as a reminder.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      I shop a fair bit with Azure Standard. I bought Teff flour there and like it. they have a lot of items on your list but probably no soy flour, at least not by that name. https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/flour/teff/brown/teff-flour-brown-unifine-gluten-free/11211?package=FL294 As mentioned in another answer, Palouse is a high quality brand for dry beans, peas and other stuff. I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.

      fwiw, I add nutritional yeast to some of my recipes. since going gluten free I eat almost no processed foods but I imagine you could sprinkle yeast on top.

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues.  The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves dysphagia, and with Omega Threes, Sjogren's, and PCOS.     (300 mg/day) The other B vitamins are needed as well because they all work together like an orchestra.   The fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, are needed as well.  Low Vitamin D is common in both PCOS and Celiac and depression.   Deficiencies in Niacin Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, Folate B 9, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D can cause mental health issues.   I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants.  My mental health issues didn't get better until my vitamin deficiencies were corrected and a gluten free keto/paleo diet adopted.   Though blood tests are not really accurate, you may want to get tested for deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise you'll be measuring the vitamins you've taken and blood tests will show blood levels that are too high. Yes, Thiamine TTFD and the other vitamins are available over-the-counter.  A B Complex with additional Thiamine TTFD and Niacin made a big difference to my health.  I follow a paleo diet, and make sure I get Omega Threes.  I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my deficiency there.   I've run through the mental health gamut if you would like to talk about your issues.  You can personal message us if you would be more comfortable.   Interesting Reading: Nutritional and herbal interventions for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a comprehensive review of dietary approaches, macronutrient impact, and herbal medicine in management https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12049039/
