Contaminated Rice?

glut'nfree

My husband (non-diagnosed) has been nauseous for weeks now. I've been trying to remove everything I can from our home that might cause some cross-contamination. Recently, as I was looking through our rice, I came across a single grain that looked different than the rice. I decided to try and see if they have any other grains in their plant. I've called the same company about their cornmeal and have been avoiding using it because it's been WEEKS since they got back to me. I'm calling them again on Monday. But looking at this website has me quite suspicious as it seems they also sell other grains. There's no mention of whether or not they are on the same lines, etc:

The Rice we've been using is from the brand NUPAK.

His nausea started around the same time we started eating more rice again after pulling our kids off the Specific Carbohydrate Diet a bit.

Any thoughts??

It could be cross contamination, but some people also have intolerances to rice.

I eat SunRice - its an Australian brand (sold in Canada) that says gluten free right on the package.

I've too often wondered if rice should be certified gluten free. I'm interested in hearing if others react to rice that isn't certified but have no issues with rice that is certified gluten free.

I still have gut issues but it seems to make no difference if I eat regular rice, certified gluten free rice or no rice. I've done all three for quite a length of time each.

I'd like to be able to buy whatever rice is on sale at the time I shop.

Gluten might be the very thing that's in your rice causing the contamination. Here's an article by a Clinical Nutritionist that talks about that very problem of how gluten can make it's way into rice:

Does anyone know if regular brown rice that is not enriched is gluten free? The above link only talks about enriched rice.

I heard that Uncle BEns rice is safe. That is the one that I buy.

No particular knowledge on the subject, but I eat brown rice regularly now, although I've had no problem w/ white rice, either. However, it does stand to reason that the less your rice is processed, the less opportunity there is for cross contamination.

The enriched rice might be coated with tocopherols (vitamin E containing), which are sometimes derived from wheat germ oil. According to Wiki they are usually derived from soy bean oil though. Probably because soy bean oil is cheaper.

I eat Uncle Ben's boil in the bag brown rice. I don't appear to have issues with it, but I do have ongoing gut problems. The good news is that I have felt good while eating plenty of that rice. They do say "gluten free" on the box...not certified though.

We use Kroger brand Jasmine rice and haven't seemed to have any problems with it.

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
