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?

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
