I'm sorry you're not feeling well- if It's Rice Dream I'm pretty sure it has barley in it. I don't buy it so I haven't read the label in awhile but I know it was not gluten-free before. Hope you feel better soon!

I'm a super-sensitive celiac. I started drinking Rice Dream a few months ago, and I haven't had any problems. I just checked the label, and I didn't see any gluten ingredients. Have you tried any other new items lately?

I am also intolerant of rice. Which really does suck as alot of gluten-free products relies on rice flour, rice milk, etc. I don't recall it having gluten in it but that was way back when I was just learning and going thru the elimination thing. Many of us are intolerant of many things, as you have said you are also dairy-intolerant. Very common. But keep your mind open to other food groups also. Best wishes!

Rice Dream is made using barley. There are a lot of us who do react to it. Barley does not have to be declared on a label when it is only used in small amounts as a flavoring agent or in the processing. Rice Dream used to disclose the barley but removed it from the label some time ago.

Try almond or hemp milk. They are both delicious.

I checked the ingredients earlier, and it looked fine. Now, looking at the front of the box, it is labeled "Gluten-free"

Rice Dream is not gluten free. AFAIK all the other brands are. But there is at least one that contains soy if you are avoiding that.

The amount that's in there is so small they don't have to claim it. But it's there!

There are no regs for the gluten free label. If the amount of gluten is very small or the gluten ingredient is used in processing or as a flavoring agent it does not have to be declared. Personally I believe all gluten should be declared but the 'powers that be' seem to think 'a little bit' won't hurt us. This is of course not the case for many of us. Those of us that do react to small amounts really need to speak up by contacting the FDA. We need total disclosure just the same as folks with true allergies to the 'big 8'.

Keep in mind - there are no rules regulating that barley be disclosed, nor any rule that states what "gluten free" means. Any company can put gluten free on anything.

That being said, here is the company's take on it: Open Original Shared Link

"Is RICE DREAM Beverage a gluten free product?

Yes. Although RICE DREAM Beverage is processed using a barley enzyme, the barley enzyme is discarded after use. The final beverage might contain a minute residual amount (less than .002%) of barley protein. For a list of gluten free products click here "

For some people, it is enough to give them symptoms. For others, it isn't. If I remember correctly, at one point, they used to list the barley, and then took it off their label, but the actual formula did not change.

Thank you to happygirl, ravenwoodglass, and Juliebove for setting me straight!I am always so careful about checking labels, but that explains the issues I've had these few months. I switched to Rice Dream (from Soy Dream), yet have had lingering problems. It didn't occur to me that Rice Dream could be the source of it. :huh:

Thanks for the help!

Pacific brand rice, almond, hazelnut, and oat milks are all gluten-free, SF, CF, and LF. I'm also super sensitive and cannot tolerate Rice Dream. Hemp Dream seems to be OK though. Blue Diamond puts soy lecithin in their almond milk. :( By the way, Pacific makes a chocolate hazelnut that when blended up with a frozen banana, a couple frozen strawberries, coconut milk, and pineapple tastes just like a banana split. :D

* Edit - Oh yeah, I usually dump a splash of vanilla extract in too.

SO Delicious brand coconut milk...soy free...dairy free and Gluten free. I've used it in mashed potatoes, cereal ,soup ,pancakes, hot chocolate, etc. Surprisingly does not add coconut flavor to foods. My daughter and granddaughter are dairy free and soy turned out to be a problem also. My little granddaughter will have it warm with nutmeg and honey. It's sold in half gallon containers in refrigerated section. They also make dairy free soy free yogurt and frozen dessert ( ice cream) and fudge pops.

      Are you scratching hard enough to leave bruising -- the dark marks? But no rash? And worse with exercise? And no flaking?

      @Louise Broughton, Some types of interferon drugs can precipitate a Thiamine deficiency, by destroying thiamine and blocking its absorption.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms encompass all the symptoms you listed.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi caused by Thiamine deficiency has symptoms of vomiting, bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhea.  I've experienced this.  I took high dose Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, and a B Complex. Thiamine can also be low on the Gluten free diet.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing with Benfotiamine and the B vitamins.   Interesting Reading: Gluten-free diet intervention reduces thiamine intake in two weeks, increases glycaemic response and decreases body weight in four weeks, with no long term nutritional deficiencies https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34583628/ Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Hi, @Blue Roan, I have Sjogren's Syndrome that made my salivary glands under my jaw swell.  I also have dry eyes from Sjogren's.  Yes, Sjogren's is yet another fun autoimmune disease that can occur in Celiac Disease.  It starts in the salivary glands. Vitamin D deficiency can also make salivary glands swell.  I was very deficient in Vitamin D also.  Vitamin D is instrumental in regulating the immune system and lowering inflammation. My dentist checked for stones blocking ducts in the salivary glands, too, but I didn't have any of those.  Yeah!  Try cutting out the antihistamines, because they make everything dry up.   Correcting my Vitamin D level to 80-100 nmol/ml has helped immensely.  I also supplement with Omega Threes (flax seed oil, oil of evening primrose) which has also helped my dry eyes and reduced my enlarged salivary glands.   Hope this gives you some direction to go next on your journey.  Wish it was better news.  Keep us posted on your progress!   P.S.

      In my case I the rash and marks that present tend to be AFTER I have been scratching the skin, not before.  There are several varieties of eczema.  .   https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/eczema/types A few years ago, I was convinced my son had ringworm.  He had marks all over his torso, and given we live near livestock, I assumed he'd picked something up at the nearby farm.  Took him to the doctor who had seen a lot of different types of rash fully expecting him to agree, and he told me, "No, he's got discoid eczema".  He gave me a cream to put on my son, and it was gone within a few days and has never come back.  I think then it was to do with bubble bath we were using. Do you use that sort of thing? If so, do use hypoallergenic products, and make sure you rinse properly.  I remember one dermatitis saying only reserve 'heavy soaping' for under the arms.  Any large areas of skin which don't look dirty just need water.  This has been helpful.  A good emollient cream would be good too, for eczema sufferers, to be put on straight after your shower or bath.    Another tip that I have found helpful is 'treat any new outbreak'.   If I do that, I find it really stops it spreading.  I hope you get to see a dermatologist soon, but for the meantime do keep a food diary.  Try to identify all the foods that are causing your eczema and mouth symptoms.  I am sorry your doctors are being so dismissive of your symptoms as those sound very real to me.  I have a friend who has experienced the same and she couldn't get any doctors to believe her either.  In the end she paid for a private allergens test and it turned out yeast was a huge trigger for her.

      Are you scratching hard enough to leave bruising -- the dark marks?  But no rash?  And worse with exercise?  And no flaking?   I had vitamin deficiencies that caused neuropathy - itching, buzzing, tingling sensations, that I would scratch until I left bruising.   Many of the B vitamins, if deficient, can cause this itchy feeling without a visible rash on top of the skin.  Vitamins B12 Cobalamine, B6 Pyridoxine, Niacin B3, and Thiamine B are important to nerve transmission.  The B vitamins can be low in gluten free diets and deficiencies worsen over time.  I supplemented with a B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and relieved the itchy feeling. Are you taking any supplements?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies recently?   The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is p'd out if it's not needed.  Try supplementing with B Complex and Benfotiamine to see if it helps.

I try to avoid it.  🤔 on the blood work, I haven’t had any done in a while. It’s difficult speaking to doctors at times as they dismiss it as psychological. But I’ll keep pushing for an answer. Thanks to everyone who replied I really appreciate it.
