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?

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
