Does anyone use the Nutribiotic Rice Protein Spectrum shake and have reactions to it?  Their new packaging says it is gluten free, but I found a post on celiac.com from a woman who used the ELISA test twice, and it came up positive TWICE for gluten.  She couldn't figure out what was getting her sick---did the test and stopped the protein and felt better.  I happened to find THIS on a website selling the Nutribiotic Rice Protein:

I cannot tolerate wheat or its relatives, including spelt, amaranth and barley. Is your Rice Protein safe for me to use?
If you have been diagnosed with Celiac-Sprue disease, we do not recommend our product. In the enzymatic processing we use one particular enzyme derived from Barley. While this enzyme is free from barley antigens (proteins), there is a miniscule possibility that your system might not tolerate it well. We would recommend that you consult your doctor or nutritionist regarding your specific case. Unfortunately, because our processing is patented, we cannot disclose the list of enzymes used. 

This sounds like a BIG RED FLAG to me---especially since the company says they routinely test and have found their product to be GF and now sell it that way!!  I know we got a gluten reaction from eating a box of Honey Nut Chex----so I went out and bought 2 expensive jugs of the Nutribiotic Rice Protein---and have not been able to figure out why I don't feel well yet!!!!!!!  I think I know why now.  So head's up for those of you in the VERY sensitive camp.
