Rice Dream milk

I know that there was a lot of information a few years back on this milk indicating that it was not gluten free.  I am having difficulty with digesting other milks and was wondering if it is affecting anyone negatively now.  Hoping not. Not sure why they still advertise gluten-free if it is not.  I can't find any other brands locally.  Please let me know of gluten-free good quality rice milk if this one is not gluten free.  Thanks!

They say they test for gluten.  I would use it.

I would trust it but, rice milk is really thin, it does not work in baking as a milk alternative very well either. -_- I recently had a issue with hemp milk and can tell you none of them seem safe. I use almond and cashew milks from 2 different companies (HEB, Almond Breeze), and Flax Milk from Good Karma. Elmhurst Harvest did have pistachio, walnut, and almond milks but pulled their lines and will be bringing them back next year.

I looooove Rice Dream, but my digestion hates it so I've switched to Almond milk although that's not perfect with my digestion either ? It's not a Celiac reaction, more like a sensitivity which I've heard from multiple people about rice milk. Hope you find one that's ok for you! If so please share, I may give it a try ?

I would recommend not using Rice Dream.  Years ago they listed a small amount of barley as one of their ingredients.  They no longer list this as an ingredient and thus tests gluten free.  Some sensitive people may be reacting to this.

Sorry.  I don't understand this logic.  I can't imagine that some left-over barley, from years ago, might still be in the machines glutening the product.  Even assuming they are actually using all the same machines, and never cleaned them, it must have washed out by now?   Plus, they say they test for gluten.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By cameo674 · Posted

      Thank you, Trents.  This is exactly why I ask questions.  The reference range was anything over 15 was out of range for all 3 antibody tests where I was out of range, Tissue Transglutaminase (IgG)<1.0 was the top of the normal range and 47-310 is the range for the IgA.   I started limiting my gluten (American Grains) exposure in 2020 when my daughter tested homozygous for the MTHFR gene so the numbers in 2024 are definitely reduced from what they probably were in 2020.  My daughter was told by her doctor to eliminate american grains due to the fortifying process.     I have been changing up my diet since 2018 when I could not stay out of the bathroom.  I attributed my stomach issues a generic medication that I had been taking for my lymphedema since they started at the same time. I had gone from being unable to use the bathroom to being unable to leave the house with spare clothes.  I mostly stick to a protein and a vegetable for my meals now-a-days.  Gluten exposure is usually through family events.  I just added pre and probiotics into my diet in 2024 because of gerd like issues that I was told was related to another gene issue.  I am trying to stop eating tums and Omeprazole like they are candy.  I have Hashimoto’s so I always thought my ANA Pattern/Titer scores were just pointing to the thyroid issues not any other conditions.     I will make sure that I restart/guarantee my gluten intake at the end of April before my June appointment.  7 weeks should be enough? Though 6 pieces of bread a day is a lot higher than I have ever consumed.    I will prompt the kids to start their journeys.  They all have stomach issues, but their doctors were attributing them to various other reasons since no one in our family has ever been diagnosed with celiac.   Anxiety was always what the doctors said their stomachs hurt so they eat tums alot too.   Thank you again for your anatomy help. The people who I have personally known that had a celiac diagnosis got so sick when they accidentally consumed gluten that I never considered that I might have it myself.  I would not have done the test myself if my daughter wasn’t so anxious about needles.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease is a lifelong autoimmune condition. Unlike some food allergies, which children may outgrow, celiac disease does not go away. Even if you don’t experience immediate symptoms after consuming gluten, it doesn’t mean the disease is gone. The absence of symptoms does not equal safety. Gluten can still be causing damage to your small intestine, even if you don’t feel it right away. As @trents mentioned, this is called "silent celiac disease," where there is internal damage without obvious symptoms. The fact that you didn’t react to the wheat-containing cookie or the donut doesn’t mean you’ve outgrown celiac disease. It’s possible that your body didn’t react strongly at that moment, but repeated exposure to gluten could lead to long-term complications, such as nutrient deficiencies, osteoporosis, or other autoimmune conditions. The damage caused by gluten can be cumulative, even if symptoms aren’t immediate. Your doctor’s suggestion to “experiment” is concerning. Celiac disease should never be tested by intentionally consuming gluten unless it’s under strict medical supervision for diagnostic purposes (like a gluten challenge before testing). Even then, it’s risky and can cause significant harm. If you’re curious about whether your celiac disease is still active, the best course of action is to consult a gastroenterologist and undergo proper testing, such as blood tests (tTG-IgA) or an endoscopy with biopsy, rather than self-experimentation. Your mom’s skepticism is understandable and warranted. Celiac disease requires strict, lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet, even if you feel fine after eating gluten. It’s not worth risking your long-term health for a donut or cookie, no matter how delicious they may be. I strongly encourage you to avoid gluten entirely and continue following a strict gluten-free diet. If you have further questions or concerns, please discuss them with a healthcare professional who specializes in celiac disease.

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats can be problematic for some people with celiac disease due to cross-contamination or sensitivity to avenin. Corn and rice are typically safe but should be checked for cross-contamination if processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing grains.

      New and Frustrated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @Tracey Thomas  I agree with @trents and this looks like a total IGA result, and not a celiac disease test result. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Everyone is different, but you may hear a CYA statement like "we don't test for gluten, and can't guarantee our products are gluten-free," which doesn't mean they are likely to contain gluten, only that they want to protect themselves. This is pretty common, and very frustrating for sensitive celiacs.
