I think Pacific makes a rice milk that would be safe. If you have a Wegmans near you theirs is also safe.

I switched from Rice Dream to Good Karma.

I don't live by a Wegman's. :( But I'll be keeping my eyes open for Good Karma and Pacific!

What other milks do people suggest? I cannot have dairy, soy, peanuts or tree nuts (no almond milk, sadly), or high amounts of fat (coconut milk products often make me sick because of this). Any thoughts would be GREAT! Thanks!!

What other milks do people suggest?

Ever tried to make your own rice milk? It is SO easy. We react to many of the additives in non-dairy milks, too, but then I found a recipe for rice milk and I couldn't believe how simple it is. Takes a few hours, but you can essentially ignore the boiling pot. It only has two ingredients for the most basic ( 8 cups water and 1 cup brown rice) and you can add oil or a sweetener or other additions if you want to make it better. The above makes about 5 pints of rice milk that is twice as thick as commercially available rice milk, so you can dilute it to twice as much if you like it thinner.

I noticed that the thicker consistency was nicer when we wanted to thicken something, though.

This is the recipe we used that worked nicely:

I have also seen a recommendation to use peeled, uncooked zucchini, pureed in a blender with a little water, for a milk-like substitute for smoothies and such, as long as they had a fruity flavor or something else to mask the zucchini flavor. Might work with gluten-free pancakes or something, too.

Hmmm, other than that...what do you need the milk for? Pureed potatoes, fruits, or veggies might work for thickening soups. Only using frozen fruit for smoothies can eliminate the need for dairy or other liquids to give it bulk. Broth can work well for some soups and sauces, taste-wise.

Hope that might help a little. :-)

Thank you, thank you! Those are all great ideas! The only other thing I would use "milk" for is on cereal...of which i can only eat Rice Chex, and I don't mind eating it dry (with a little cinnamon-sugar ;)). So seems like your suggestions will cover me for milk in all other applications!

I have not tried to make rice milk myself, but that recipe looks super easy! I'll have to give it a try. Thanks so much again for your wonderful ideas and help! :)

I made the rice milk myself and it is super easy, but truth be told, I found that if I did not consume it fast enough (as I only use it on cereal or in my bread recipe) it spoiled rather quickly. Bummer! So, use it quickly. :)

The Good Karma rice milk can be purchased in bulk from places like Amazon. The cartons are small enough that I get through it without waste. Just a thought.

I know you posted this quite some time ago, but I felt I should let you know that I have been playing detective and trying to sort out any lingering traces of gluten that may be getting to me and I have to report that I stopped using the Good Karma rice milk for a week and when I used it this morning, I felt "funny" (and not funny ha-ha :) ---gluten head funny :blink: )...so I wonder about trace gluten in it. Could just be me; I am very sensitive to gluten....but I wonder if you noticed anything when you tried it?

      Confusion about my son's results

      Most doctors don't even order anything besides the tTG-IGA and maybe total IGA when doing blood testing for celiac disease. The EMA is the very first celiac blood antibody test that was developed and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which is less expensive to run in the lab. My understanding is they both pretty much check for the same thing. The IGG...

      Confusion about my son's results

      But yes seeing all those negatives does give me a bit of doubt! I feel confident but those results give me a seed of doubt. Especially since it's a lifelong diet for him!

      Confusion about my son's results

      When I originally posted I hadn't talked to the pediatrician yet and didn't realize about the budosinide. Now I feel pretty confident. I was concerned that all of the tests didn't come back positive - that seemed kind of ambiguous to me. I didn't realize that was common. Do a lot of people on here have a positive tTG but negative other tests? I thought the...

      Confusion about my son's results

      @lizzie42, So, I'm confused with what you are uncertain about. Do you really have any doubt that your 5 year-old son has celiac disease? Is it because he isn't exhibiting anemia and the rash as did your daughter? The genes are certainly there and the antibody testing certainly indicates celiac. And given the fact that he was on a reduced gluten diet...

      Confusion about my son's results

      These are my sons results. My daughter was high positive on everything and maxed out the tests in addition to being anemic, bad rash, etc. Yes, he has been eating mostly gluten free (not completely). He was also on a high dose of budosinide at the time of testing due to some asthma and sickness. I didn't realize that affects the results. This...

The EMA is the very first celiac blood antibody test that was developed and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which is less expensive to run in the lab. My understanding is they both pretty much check for the same thing. The IGG tests are second tier tools that are less specific for celiac disease. It is not at all uncommon for the EMA and the tTG-IGA to disagree with one another. We frequently see this on the forum. I do not know why. Please realize that doctors typically run a number of tests when diagnosing a medical condition. If there was one test that was foolproof, there would not be a need for other tests and other testing modalities. It works that way with many or most diseases.

I was concerned that all of the tests didn't come back positive - that seemed kind of ambiguous to me. I didn't realize that was common. Do a lot of people on here have a positive tTG but negative other tests? I thought the EMA was pretty "gold standard."  And yes I do now wonder about the asthma! I hope being gluten free will improve that!

Is it because he isn't exhibiting anemia and the rash as did your daughter? The genes are certainly there and the antibody testing certainly indicates celiac. And given the fact that he was on a reduced gluten diet and on a steroidal medication (which would likely suppress immune responses) do you really have any doubt? If you can't afford the GI consult with endoscopy/biopsy, why would you consider a gluten challenge after removing the remainder of the gluten from his diet? Have you considered that his asthma and "sickness" may be tied to celiac disease?

      These are my sons results. My daughter was high positive on everything and maxed out the tests in addition to being anemic, bad rash, etc.  Yes, he has been eating mostly gluten free (not completely). He was also on a high dose of budosinide at the time of testing due to some asthma and sickness. I didn't realize that affects the results.  This test along with my daughter being so sick with it prompted the pediatrician to diagnose him. We can always do a gluten challenge in the future. We will do that with our 1 year old. We will have her eat school lunch when she goes to prek and then test after a couple months.
