I just read a message about Imagine Foods' Soy Dream beverages causing a
gluten reaction. I know there is some question about Whitewave Silk
beverages as well. This concerns me. In both cases, the manufacturers
list the products in question as gluten-free. How are we supposed to
make an informed choice if, apparently, even when the manufacturer
claims a product is gluten-free it is causing a gluten reaction. Can
anyone offer some advice on this? Is it commonly a case of another
ingredient causing a reaction that mimics a gluten response?
It is difficult enough to follow a gluten-free diet; adding in the
possibility that manufacturers are giving out wrong information about
their products' gluten content just makes a bad situation worse. I need
to know how other celiacs handle this. I had settled on Soy Dream as my
soy milk of choice because Imagine says that it is both gluten and dairy
free. If I can't believe them who can I believe?
Frustrated,
Michelle
