Is Hy-Vee Whole grain brown rice gluten free?

Sorry for the dumb question from this very ill newbie. I planned to make a chicken and rice dish from one of the cookbooks recommended by you good people. When I double-checked my Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guide, it lists Hy-Vee Instand Brown and Natural Long Grain Brown rice, but not the Whole Grain Brown Rice I purchased.

I know I'm overthinking all this, but my son has to eat this diet too and I really don't want to mess up.

Thank so much.

Debbie

This is something that I would call the company about. They have such an extensive list Open Original Shared Link so they either missed this product or it does have gluten in it. Plain Rice shouldn't but the words "whole grain" are unusual and got my attention.

Hi, Debbie. Is there anything on the label other than rice? If the label just says "rice" I would eat it. I've never used a shopping list for rice because plain old rice with nothing else on the label is safe.

I went to their website, and on the same page with their gluten free offerings, there was a disclaimer that is it was thought to be correct as of November 2011.

The ingredients just say "whole grain brown rice".

Thanks for the Hy-Vee link.

Wish I just knew for sure about foods. I'm spending way too much time in the store and I can't think clearly right now.

I appreciate the replies.

That would be gluten-free, but as noted, it is an odd wording. Brown rice is brown BECAUSE it is the whole grain. White rice has the husk (which is brown) removed. So it is redundant, but maybe the marketing folks think "whole grain" will sell to people who don't know what brown rice is.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
