Rice Dream

Their website says vanilla and a few others are gluten-free. Anyone tried it? I want to make sure b/c I saw Rice Dream milk in the store and it said "contains less than 2% gluten" or something like that. The website, however, says their ice cream is gluten-free.

Does anyone else eat it?

Hi, I was wondering the same thing. I also have read that the milk contains barley and the Rice Dream vanilla Ice Cream doesn't. I e-mailed the company but I haven't gotten a response. I ordered 6 quarts from my local co-op but I've been afraid to give it to my daughter until I verify. The ice cream is pricey but I found it was quite a bit cheaper from the co-op. I went to another website forum that stated that the Rice Dream ice cream from the Haines Celestial Group will clearly list any gluten-containing ingredients. I'll post again if I can get confirmation from the company.

Some of their products are and some are not. Some have barley malt in it.

I had some of the rice dreams vanilla ice cream over the week-end with chocolate syrup on it. I rice dreams vanilla ice cream was on my gluten-free food list and I did not have any problems after eating it. It tasted okay, kind of a funny after taste.

Hi,

I've eaten the vanilla "rice dream ice cream." (That is actually fun to say!) I agree that the first couple of times it seemed to have a different flavor and texture. I've gotten to where I really like it now that I'm half way through the quart! :D

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
