Lactaid Milk Just Like Rice Dream

I have been getting sick from Lactiad milk so I thought I would do some investigating to figure out why. The enzyme that they add to the milk is aspergillus oryzae. It is grown on wheat kernels. So yet again another so called gluten free product just like rice Dream that can be labeled as such but really isn't. I'm so tired of companies and their false claims. I could scream!

Does anyone know anything about this? I know that Lactaid says it's gluten free but I am wondering if it's the same deal with the Rice Dream.

I emailed them am and am waiting for an answer to see if maybe their enzyme is grown on something else.

What are some safe rice milks?

I have to wonder about inaccuracies in a source that calls the fungus A. oryzae an enzyme. Also, most commercial lactase preparation is from A. niger or GMO bacteria. It's definitely not the same as Rice Dream either because with Rice Dream the enzyme they use is directly extracted from barley. I will be curious to hear what Hood says, because their website states that Lactaid Milk is gluten-free.

As I think about it, I would be really, really surprised if there were detectable gluten in the milk. They use a trace of purified enzyme, which may have a trace of gluten if your source is right (but I suspect not). A trace of a trace may get the super-sensitive, but it's hardly a "false claim".

Here is my source.

I'm not trying to start anything. I just can't figure out why it's making me so sick. Rice Dream did the same thing and they say that their Rice Dream is gluten free on their website too.

Thanks for your help.

Ok, well I finally just called them. They said that the enzyme is Kluyzeromyces. It's a yeast. She didn't know how it was made. Makes sense now as I have a yeast allergy.

If you have a Wegmans near by their milk is for sure safe. Pacific brand also makes some good milks.

Ugh. That must be a pain.

By the way, you are confusing the enzyme with the organism that produces the enzyme. That's why I thought your source might be dodgy. The enzyme in Lactaid is called lactase. Lactase is produced by a number of bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. The source of the lactase is apparently different between the Lactaid milk and the Lactaid tablets. You might be able to tolerate the tablets, since Aspergillus oryzae is less closely related to bakers' yeast.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
