Rice Dream


xMichellex

Recommended Posts

I thought I was being very strict with my diet but somehow I got glutened. For the life of me I could not figure out what it could have been. Everything was fresh except the rice milk. But I checked Rice Dream's website and it says that both the rice and soy milks are gluten free. However, some posts on this website suggest not using Rice Dream. What am I missing here?

They use barley during the filtering process and for some it causes problems.

What do you mean by that?? "They use barley during the filtering process" How can they say that is gluten free if they use barley to make the milk. I have a whole case of it in my pantry from Costco and I find this out? OMG. I don't ever think I am going to be free of this disease. So essentially I have been glutened all of this time and from a food that touts itself as "gluten free"??

I believe it is only the super sensitives that react to it, but I wouldn't risk it myself. I prefer almond or hemp milk :unsure: It is supposedly processed out to be way under the limit where most celiacs would react to it - in other words, it's legal although it says gluten free.:(

I was pretty mad too when I found out been drinking it for weeks but still having issues , and thought I was being really careful.

I drink coconut milk now mainly, sometimes almond milk but it is expensive here in england.

There are other brands of rice milk that say on gluten free

I think Pacific brand makes a rice milk and if you have a Wegmans near you their store brand rice milk is also.

I'm in the same boat. I'm going to give the stuff away. Apparently gluten free does not necessarily mean gluten free.

I'm really angry about the fact that they will label their stuff gluten-free when they know darn well it contains gluten -- even if it is only "trace" amounts.

I won't buy anything at all made from that company because I don't trust their labeling practices.

It's sad, because the only non-dairy "milk chocolate" I can find is put out by the makers of Rice Dream. My son is not that sensitive and he could probably eat it with no problems even if it does contain trace amounts of barley, but I don't even like to support the company.

When they issue an apology and change their labeling so that items which don't contain barley are not marked as gluten-free, THEN I will buy things from them.

I got zapped really good by the Rice Dream when I first started the gluten free diet. Now, before I try a new product that I'm not sure about I call the company and do a search on these forums to see if anyone has any problems with it. It really does make you mad when companies claim something is gluten free, but there's gluten in the product. :ph34r:

Just my 2 cents...I am not that sensitive and I reacted to Rice Dream. It was mild, but still a gluten type reaction. I vote Almond milk if your not allergic. :D

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
