I bought some mini snack size cheese flavored, I did not see anything listed on the ingredients but today I am sick. I'm cramping terribly and can't stay out of the bathroom. NO MORE rice cakes!

I don't think the mini flavored rice cakes are gluten free. At least not with Quaker. The big ones are and does state on the package gluten-free but I too was tempted by the mini bites and passed because I was unsure, sorry your sick feel better soon thanks for sharing :)

I unfortunately can't even eat the plain big rice cakes - even the organic ones from Whole Foods.  I love putting almond butter and strawberry preserves on them to make a crunchy pb & J, but every time, I'm severly lightheaded and nauseous after.  To rule out other things, I ate them plain with nothing else in the morning once...same reaction.  totally bummed.

It's just rice cakes that does this to you? Any other rice products cause this reaction?

I have found also that any of the rice products make me feel sick. quite the bummer since that was a mainstay I could carry around with me. I tried a few different brands, and the same result with all. so another thing crossed off my list.

 

interesting though, I can eat rice.. things that make you go hmmm

That is strange, but I've heard of rice cakes causing problems for Celiacs, I used to keep them in my car for something to tame to hunger monster in my stomach until I could make it home, but resulted in constipation if I had more than one or two, and they aren't very filling so I'd find myself eating way more than I should. Maybe it's something about the process...

I eat the Lundberg brown rice cakes sometimes and have never had a problem. (ok, honestly, I think they taste like "nothing" and have the texture of styrofoam, but if you put enough peanut butter and honey on them, they're okay)  :lol: And yes, eating too many of them without enough water may well give you a C problem. That's a lot of fiber.

 

I am not sure how far along in the healing process any of you guys are, but I would suggest you try them again further

down the road. Maybe your gut just does not like them right now. I had a LOT of foods that made me feel nauseous and yucky at the beginning right after DX and I took them out and added them back in one at a time as the months progressed. Still working on the pesky eggs.

<_<

 

Best wishes, all!

I wonder if you have a soy intolerance as I have noticed all rice cakes I ever saw have soy ingredients in them and so I can't have them. Instead of rice cakes which I can't have I will use a cracker called Brown Rice Snaps (Toasted Onion) which I like but they are thin and crispy compared to rice cakes and the company that makes them is Edward & Sons. So maybe you might try them if you see them...they do come in a package and I will put some in a zip lock bag to take with me if I go somewhere. At home I put everything on them even peanut butter which I know may sound weird on a toasted onion flavor cracker but it tastes good to me. :)

 

Edward and Sons also makes a Rice snap cracker which is plain but it is not made in the same place and on the package it says may be made on equipment which also processes wheat and so I will not buy them and only get the Brown Rice Snaps.

wow, I have never seen a rice cake with soy in it. Why the heck would they put soy in them???

.

It's rice. Packed into a cake.Leave it alone.

 

Companies do some strange things. :unsure:

If rice cakes don't work maybe corn cakes will.  Corn Thins are a similar thing to rice cakes but thinner and made from corn.  They are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility in Australia but are sold in many countries.  I get them at health food stores.  You may have to ask for them as they aren't always in the same area as rice cakes for some reason.

Quaker rice cakes used to have a bad rep with celiacs, but I think they have improved somewhat.  I don't know myself tho, I'm not willing to try them.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
