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.

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.

* 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.
