Say Hello to Rice Milk

We have decided to switch to rice milk after reading some more about the similarities b/w soy milk structure and regular milk.

In fact, TalkAboutCuringAutism.org states the following, "To replace milk, use Rice Milk or Almond Milk. Soy is so close in molecular structure to casein that it should be avoided in the replacement of milk and yogurt. It may have to be eliminated all together later but at least avoid it as a total replacement for milk. An overuse of soy is linked to the erosion of the esophagus, stomach and upper intestine."

Great... So basically I probably should have been using this a long time ago. Oh well. Live and learn. So far he doesn't seem to enjoy it nearly as much as the vanilla soy milk but I don't think it's too bad. We are also going to start some Super Nu Thera as soon as it arrives (I ordered it on Friday).

Did you get him the Vanilla kind? Since he was drinking Vanilla soy, he might like Vanilla Rice better.

We alternate between plain Rice Mil & plain Almond milk and so far he seems to drink them both just the same as if they were whole milk.

No. I could only find Rice Dream brand at WalMart and only the organic plain flavor is gf. The other ones said contains less that 2% gluten from barley. Even though I emailed the company forever ago and they said all their products were gfcf, I'm not going to use the other ones. Is there another brand of vanilla rice milk?

pacific rice milk is gfcg and they have vanilla. West soy rice milk has vanilla too but I couldn't find any info on whether it was gfcg so you'd have to call.
