Does anyone use the Costco - Kirkland brand of organic rice milk? It says gluten free on the box. If I buy it, I have to get an entire case so I just want to make sure it's on the up and up.

Thanks - MO

Does anyone know? I ended up buying the Kirkland rice milk. Does anyone know how I can find out if it's processed with barley like that 'one' kind ? Anything that I should see on the label?

      Testing

      By Nicola McGuire · Posted

      I was told by my doctor that due to high levels in bloods my son has celiacs but can do a test with biopsy etc but she said she can see the levels without this in his bloods . Is that correct

      Welcome to the forum, @Nicola McGuire! An appointment with a dietician might be helpful. In the meantime, this article might get you off to a good start: It is easy to eliminate major sources of gluten in the diet but to arrive at a consistently "gluten-free" state is much more challenging. There is a real learning curve involved and part of that is just experience. In time, you and your son will develop a sixth sense of where gluten might be hiding as you shop for food and eat out. Eating out is the biggest challenge. You will make mistakes so give yourselves some grace. It is important that your son take ownership of this new health reality as you cannot be with him 24/7.

Nutrients. 2013 Oct 21;5(10):4174-83. doi: 10.3390/nu5104174. PMID: 24152750; PMCID: PMC3820067. AND SEE: Oats Intolerance in Celiac Disease. PLoS Med. 2004 Oct;1(1):e23. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed.0010023. Epub 2004 Oct 19. PMCID: PMC523841. AND ALSO SEE: Bascuñán KA, Orosteguí C, Rodríguez JM, Roncoroni L, Doneda L, Elli L, Araya M. Heavy Metal and Rice in Gluten-Free Diets: Are They a Risk? Nutrients. 2023 Jun 30;15(13):2975. doi: 10.3390/nu15132975. PMID: 37447301; PMCID: PMC10346754. Celiac disease is one of the most common autoimmune gastrointestinal diseases; over the last decades, its prevalence indicates a mean annual increase in frequency currently calculated at 7.5% per year [23]. celiac disease is triggered by gluten present in the diet and the disease involves autoimmune and inflammatory damage to the small intestine in genetically susceptible individuals. To develop celiac disease a person must inherit the genetic predisposition; however, about one third of the population carries the risk genes and only ~1% of the population develops the disease, indicating that genetics is not sufficient to explain the condition. The environment participates by providing the triggering factor, i.e., gluten, and the disease is activated by environmental factors which, until now, have not been fully understood, among which changes in eating habits and the intestinal microbiota are considered to be significant factors [24,25]; yet, current knowledge is insufficient to explain the mechanisms involved. Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease is a GFD for life. AND ALSO SEE: Dr. Osborne: Although rice is considered gluten-free based on the definition set forth by the FDA, rice does contain a different form of gluten prolamin called orzenin. In my experience, those with known celiac disease or non celiac gluten sensitivity issues do better when avoiding rice.

      It’s quite overwhelming receiving diagnosis my son is 14 should I have had an apt for him to discuss food etc ? I have read up a bit but have lots of questions re cross contamination

      @Bebygirl01, if you want to play word games with the term, "gluten", we can do that. The proteins you list in these other cereal grains besides wheat, barley and rye are somewhat different from that found in wheat, barley and rye and, technically speaking, are not "gluten". Technically speaking, "gluten" should only be applied to a particular protein found in wheat, barley and rye. These other cereal grain proteins have their own names (avenin, secalinin, zein, etc). Unfortunately, confusion has been created in popular and pseudo scientific literature by the informal use of the term "gluten" when talking about the proteins found in these other cereal grains such that you sometimes read about "corn gluten", "oat gluten", "rice gluten", etc. But these are actually misnomers, with "gluten" having been added on as an informal appendage to the actual protein names. Having said that, the protein structures of these other cereal grains is close enough to gluten that, for some people, they can cause a celiac type reaction. But this is not true for most celiacs and those who fall into the NCGS category. Apparently, it is true for you. This whole idea that cereal grains are bad for all of us has been popularized by books such as Dangerous Grains for years but it is not a widely accepted idea in the scientific community.
