I will not eat anything made by the Rice Dream company. I am not super sensitive and have not had a reaction, but I find their practice of using a barley-derived flavoring (however small an amount) in some of their products while not declaring it on the label and actually marking the product "Gluten Free" to be dishonest and abhorrent. Rice Dream makes a lot of Celiacs sick, and their excuse that it tests below 20ppm is no excuse for knowingly labeling something Gluten Free when it contains a gluten ingredient.

I don't necessarily get sick from single incidences of small contamination (like a glass of Rice Dream) but I find that when I take "risks" (such as eating in a restaurant or at a friend's house) that after a few times I start to feel crummy. And if I ignore it and keep taking the risks, I start to feel worse, until eventually I get a full-blown gluten reaction. Drinking Rice Dream would be like eating out for me -- probably wouldn't hurt once in a great while but I bet if I made it part of my regular diet for a week I'd regret it.

In short, I wouldn't trust it. Especially if Rice Dream has made you sick.

Oh my gosh - I've been feeling weird the last few days, and I couldn't put a finger on it. I just had some of this bar - the rice milk chocolate - over the weekend. It never occurred to me it might be the rice dream. I had not idea that they weren't gluten free. Thank you for point it out. I'll never try that again!

Enjoy Life makes a safe and tasty candy bar. They are gluten, soy, and dairy free and made in a dedicated facility. I like the Dark Chocolate, but they also have a "Milk Chocolate" (made with rice milk), and a M/C with crispy rice. :)

I was dairy free for 5 years and reacted to Rice Dream.

Jerseyangel - thanks! I'll try them the next time I see them. I'm glad you said something or I probably would have avoided them, too. Although, I got to say...the more healthy food and less processed, sugary foods I eat, the less I crave them.

I tried them, and they gave me a stomach ache. Not sure what it is about Rice Dream products, but I can't tolerate them at all. I switched to another brand of rice milk and am continuing to look for good chocolate, although the further I get into the whole gluten-free diet, the less I want the sugar. So weird :)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi everyone do you know whether when you get a draft cider if there is a chance that it runs through the same tubing as a beer did sometime prior?  the reason I’m asking is that I’m trying to eliminate a source of hidden gluten that I think hits me about once a month. And I have a suspicion it might be cider from the draft at certain bars. When I am out, if I decide to drink, I usually order a cider brand that I know is gluten free.    what I’ve noticed is that a couple times when I got a draft cider, I got symptoms of being  glutened that night and the day after. This doesn’t seem to happen with all times I drink cider. I had a draft at a very clean brewery and I didn’t react from that, which is what made me start to wonder. Does anyone know if this is a possible source of getting glutened? I am like 99% sure that this is the cause and I think I’ll switch to bottle/can only from here on out, but would be interested if others experienced the same thing (or work in a bar and know how this works). Thanks!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Could this be a new intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!
