Rice Dream Ads!

I just saw the Rice Dream ad here on the forum (it's advertising a recipe for Rice Dream cupcakes) -- so I thought I'd look into Rice Dream again thinking that since they're advertising here on this site, that maybe they're actually TRULY gluten free now. Doesn't appear that way! Very aggravating that they're advertising here!!! I wonder if we could talk to the site moderators/web masters and get Rice Dream ads excluded! I'm sure there are a lot of people that see those ads and since they're listed here on this site -- they assume that they are safe products. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! I don't trust ANY of the Hain products all due to this trickiness with the Rice Dream. They also make WestSoy, Soy Dream, and Imagine -- so I wouldn't drink any of the rice milks under those names either - like the WestSoy rice beverage! In the past I've spoken with a rep from Rice Dream and he actually got an attitude with me about the "minute particles" of gluten that is in their products!!! BOYCOTT!!!

What upset me the most about Rice Dream, is that before the label change to gluten free, they at least stated on the box that it contained .002% of barley malt. Once they labeled the box gluten free, the barley malt ingredient was gone, leading me to believe it was excluded from the formula now, hence the new gluten free label. But after a phone call, I was told the formula is the same, just labeled differently. That seemed deceptive to me. Now to add to the list of things I have to do to make sure what my family eats is safe, I actually have to call the companies of products that are already labeled gluten free! Very frustrating. If they want to leave the barley malt in, fine, just give me the information to make an informed decision about what I'm putting into my body!

This is one reason I'm very skeptical of mainstream companies jumping on the "gluten free" bandwagon....we have had reactions to all types of Chex, and b/c of this, I won't be buying the Betty Crocker mix either. I'm happy for others who are enjoying the products w/out problems, but it's just not for us.

Yanno if it was minute or trace amounts of peanuts or tree nuts and people were dropping dead, they'd be quick to adjust their labels ::fume::

I'm all for the gov't staying out of private enterprise and all - but IMHO food labels should be tightly controlled and labels should contain ALL information.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
