I'm sorry you're not feeling well- if It's Rice Dream I'm pretty sure it has barley in it. I don't buy it so I haven't read the label in awhile but I know it was not gluten-free before. Hope you feel better soon!

I'm a super-sensitive celiac. I started drinking Rice Dream a few months ago, and I haven't had any problems. I just checked the label, and I didn't see any gluten ingredients. Have you tried any other new items lately?

I am also intolerant of rice. Which really does suck as alot of gluten-free products relies on rice flour, rice milk, etc. I don't recall it having gluten in it but that was way back when I was just learning and going thru the elimination thing. Many of us are intolerant of many things, as you have said you are also dairy-intolerant. Very common. But keep your mind open to other food groups also. Best wishes!

Rice Dream is made using barley. There are a lot of us who do react to it. Barley does not have to be declared on a label when it is only used in small amounts as a flavoring agent or in the processing. Rice Dream used to disclose the barley but removed it from the label some time ago.

Try almond or hemp milk. They are both delicious.

I checked the ingredients earlier, and it looked fine. Now, looking at the front of the box, it is labeled "Gluten-free"

Rice Dream is not gluten free. AFAIK all the other brands are. But there is at least one that contains soy if you are avoiding that.

The amount that's in there is so small they don't have to claim it. But it's there!

There are no regs for the gluten free label. If the amount of gluten is very small or the gluten ingredient is used in processing or as a flavoring agent it does not have to be declared. Personally I believe all gluten should be declared but the 'powers that be' seem to think 'a little bit' won't hurt us. This is of course not the case for many of us. Those of us that do react to small amounts really need to speak up by contacting the FDA. We need total disclosure just the same as folks with true allergies to the 'big 8'.

Keep in mind - there are no rules regulating that barley be disclosed, nor any rule that states what "gluten free" means. Any company can put gluten free on anything.

That being said, here is the company's take on it: Open Original Shared Link

"Is RICE DREAM Beverage a gluten free product?

Yes. Although RICE DREAM Beverage is processed using a barley enzyme, the barley enzyme is discarded after use. The final beverage might contain a minute residual amount (less than .002%) of barley protein. For a list of gluten free products click here "

For some people, it is enough to give them symptoms. For others, it isn't. If I remember correctly, at one point, they used to list the barley, and then took it off their label, but the actual formula did not change.

Thank you to happygirl, ravenwoodglass, and Juliebove for setting me straight!I am always so careful about checking labels, but that explains the issues I've had these few months. I switched to Rice Dream (from Soy Dream), yet have had lingering problems. It didn't occur to me that Rice Dream could be the source of it. :huh:

Thanks for the help!

Pacific brand rice, almond, hazelnut, and oat milks are all gluten-free, SF, CF, and LF. I'm also super sensitive and cannot tolerate Rice Dream. Hemp Dream seems to be OK though. Blue Diamond puts soy lecithin in their almond milk. :( By the way, Pacific makes a chocolate hazelnut that when blended up with a frozen banana, a couple frozen strawberries, coconut milk, and pineapple tastes just like a banana split. :D

* Edit - Oh yeah, I usually dump a splash of vanilla extract in too.

SO Delicious brand coconut milk...soy free...dairy free and Gluten free. I've used it in mashed potatoes, cereal ,soup ,pancakes, hot chocolate, etc. Surprisingly does not add coconut flavor to foods. My daughter and granddaughter are dairy free and soy turned out to be a problem also. My little granddaughter will have it warm with nutmeg and honey. It's sold in half gallon containers in refrigerated section. They also make dairy free soy free yogurt and frozen dessert ( ice cream) and fudge pops.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
