Is Barley .002% Considered gluten-free?

Hi,

I have a 2 yr old who cannot tolerate milk. Normally we use Soy milk. But I have heard a lot of bad reports about giving young kids Soy products. The Rice Milk that is available states "contains Barley .002%" I know this is a very small amount but still.

Is this safe for gluten-free diet? Do any of you use products with this statement?

Any ideas for substitute milk product for toddler? Must be peanut and tree nut free. (No Almond milk, etc)

- Toddler is new to gluten-free diet. She got into whipped cream over the weekend and the results are not good. Massive diarhea problems - tons of mucus. Kid is miserable. Any thoughts????

Rice Dream - as far as I'm concerned, is not gluten free. I won't allow my kids to drink it.

We use Pacific Brand Rice Milk or Westsoy Rice milk.

Hi - Rice Dream is not safe for those with gluten intolerance or celiac. You can try Pacific Rice Milk or Whole Foods 365 Rice Milk. There are generally a few rice milk options at health food stores.

I've actually been drinking hemp milk. It's pretty good, and seems to have more of a nutritious value when compared to the stuff that's just rice and canola oil and synthetic vitamins.

Another option is making your own. Some people here do that. I think it's pretty easy if you have the correct appliance (there's something called a veganmilk maker)

Hope you find something that works. :)

Agreed---it is NOT gluten free. Its gluten lite. Which---does us no good.

I have heard good things about the two that Mango suggested.

One of my children drinks apple juice that has added calcium and vitamin D.

The other is 4 yrs old and has drank about 4 cups of Silk soymilk every day of his life. He is in the 90th percentile for height and weight and is developing just fine!

There is a very decent-tasting potato-based milk called "Vance's Dari-free." I believe it is only available mail-order, but I could be wrong. It is not expensive, though, as it comes in a powder (lower shipping charges!).

I've purchased Vance's Dari-Free at local grocery stores. =)

It has a nice sweet taste to it. I just made a B

I found it in this random environmental store. You can order it Open Original Shared Link though, or check your local health food store.

My son also drink Silk Vanilla Soy - the Calcium-fortified for kids. He drinks 2-3 cups a day and has been doing well with it. He also eats the Silk soy yogurt.

Thanks so much for all the input. A debate was raging on whether or not I was being just a tad crazy in regards to the ".002 % barley as being unsafe." I have always viewed this as unsafe for myself, but since I was facing limiting my child's food to only gluten-free I wanted other opinions.

The doctor has pulled her back off the gluten-free diet for now. Back to eating regular food - at least for her.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
