Rice Milk

What is Rice Milk?

Rice milk is a dairy-free milk alternative made from milled rice and water. It is typically enriched with vitamins and minerals to mimic the nutritional profile of cow’s milk. Rice milk is known for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and is a popular choice for those with lactose intolerance or milk allergies. It is often used in cooking, baking, and as a beverage on its own.

Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Rice Milk?

Intolerance to rice milk is relatively uncommon but can occur. It may be due to an allergy to rice, which can trigger symptoms such as digestive discomfort, skin reactions, or respiratory issues. 

Some individuals may experience intolerance due to the additives or preservatives in commercially produced rice milk. If rice milk contains added sugars or other ingredients, these might also contribute to digestive issues or sensitivities.

What Can I Do About It?

If you suspect an intolerance to rice milk, try eliminating it from your diet and monitoring your symptoms. Consider switching to other dairy-free alternatives, such as almond, soy, or oat milk, which might be better tolerated. Always check ingredient labels for potential allergens or additives.
