Rice Dream Rice Milk

I thought I was reading on here that Rice Dream Rice Milk is truly not gluten free, and is processed with Barley. I drink this product everyday, and even called the company to make sure that it was gluten-free. How can it not be it the company guarantees it, and it is labeled that way right on the box??

It can not be because it is processed with barely. Now they do test it to see how much gluten is in there. I have had it where it says less than some percentage of gluten in it. I have never seen it say gluten free.

I have called to ask a few times and they always deny the rumor that Rice Dream contains undeclared barley. I believe the rumor was started by a competitor. My system is very sensitive to gluten cross contamination and I have never reacted to Rice Dream. My labs for antibodies always come back negative (if I haven't been contaminated with something else) and the only "milk" we buy in our house is Rice Dream Classic Original and So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage.

Lexi,

I used so drink Rice Dream when they listed barley on the package. When I went gluten free I stopped drinking it and have never touched it again. I am afraid too. I have had enough bad food reactions that I won't try it again.

Rice Dream changed their packaging dropping barley from the package, but not changing the formula. I would not recommend Rice Dream for anyone to drink.

Hope this helps.

My rice dream says gluten free on the front of the box in the corner. I don't have any problems with it and am very sensitive. I can't have soy lecithin and rice dream is both gluten and soy free. There is a rice dream product heart smart or something like that, that does list barley malt in their ingredients but also does not say gluten free so maybe thats where the confusion lies, don't know. I listen to my body and not to just what I read because everyone's sensitivities are different. I can't wait for the rice dream eggnog to come out again during the holidays, and again it says gluten free on the front of the box at the bottom.

Rice Dream has always made me sick. At one time the package said it contained a small amount of barley...something like 0.03% ppm. I believe the FDA does not require that a company list a small amount of gluten in a product. I'm barley intolerant, and have stopped drinking this product. I had noticed that some packages listed the barley, others packages did not. I've switched to a different brand and have had no problem.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I believe that what triggers acute Celiac Disease is vitamin D deficiency.  When we have stress it depletes our already low vitamin D, (40% to 60% of us in the industrial world are deficient) allowing the Celiac genes and the immune system to run amuck.  At 93 ng/ml 25(OH)D blood level, the last time I accidentally glutened myself, all that I got was a runny nose and burning eyes three days later.  It took 8 years, taking 10,000 IU a day to get to this blood level. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset So true.  If I am working on something I'm enjoying, I put off eating because after I eat I mostly feel worse.  Not so much anymore, but it's been a life long struggle with the anorexia.  M&M Peanuts is a good go-to snack.  For the dairy Bubbies Kosher Dill pickles, brine fermented, will repopulate your gut with Lactobacillus that exretes lactase, the reason adults are not lactose intolerant.  Also, grassfed milk has less omega 6 fatty acids than commercial grain fed dairy. Grassfed omega 6:3 ratio is 1:1; Organic milk 3:1; Commercial Dairy 5:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation.  The typical western diet is 14:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  A good reason not to eat gluten.  Here is a list: High omega-3/low omega-6 I find it interesting that the new diagnosis of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity was created 10 years after Norman Borlaug, "the father of the Green Revolution" and our modern grain crops, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      Welcome, @annamarie6655, I followed the AIP diet, too.  It allows the intestines time to heal.  I still avoid a lot of processed foods.  Once you get used to eating whole foods, they taste better than processed foods. I couldn't eat pepperoni without becoming ill.  Pepperoni is a processed meat that uses "meat glue" to hold its shape.  "Meat glue" is microbial transglutaminase produced by microbes in a lab.  Transglutaminase produced by microbes works the same in our bodies as tissue transglutaminase, which causes inflammation.  Remember those antibody blood tests, tTg IgA and tTg IgG?  They test for tissue transglutaminase produced by the body in response to gluten.  The microbial transglutaminase provokes the same response in our bodies as if exposed to gluten.  Best to avoid processed meat products like formed chicken nuggets, luncheon meats, formed hams, sausage, etc.   Best wishes.

      How to work through food paranoia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the tribe! Do discuss the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) with your dietician.  The AIP diet helps while the intestines are healing, lowering potential to develop other food sensitivities.  Be sure to discuss supplementing with vitamins and minerals.  Damaged intestines don't absorb essential nutrients well.  Supplementing while healing boosts absorption and provides vitamins needed for repair.
