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 :)

      Manitol and mri

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      Manitol and mri

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
