Dr. Korner Caramel Rice Cake not gluten free

Very disappointed. I'm in Russia and there are not many gluten-free options for snacks (I would have been more prepared but I was ordered  to go gluten-free a week before I had to leave for this 3 month long stint). 

Anyway, I found some Dr. Korner caramel rice cakes labelled "Gluten free" and bought them, trusting the label (which I will not do again). Ate almost the whole pack last night before becoming curious about the ingredients. Yeah, first ingredient is barley. Today, my skin itches, my stomach felt like lead this morning, and my lips are swollen and have sores. I wrote something on their FB page but who knows if it will do any good.

EDIT: They approved my FB post, and the UK and Russian entities have separate pages. I posted on the UK page, and they do not label this product as gluten-free in the UK.

Do you have someplace where you can cook there? If you do then you may want to go with whole foods as much as you can while you are there.

There are dining cards for different countries that you may find helpful if you have to eat prepared foods.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

ravenwoodglass, good suggestion. There is a kitchen, I have been making buckwheat (only $1 for 1 lb here), rice, and oats (which I am going to start phasing out). I was hoping for a snack/cracker-type item, but no avail. :|

Those dining cards, I think I found them online. I have mostly avoided going out to eat because of my budget and I don't want to deal with it--sometimes people here are dishonest about how they prepare food.

Thanks, this is a very informative community so I am glad I found it!

Consider using the dining cards in the grocery store.  We used our card in Poland, where even being part of the EU, we were not always able to read the labels.  Store employees were so helpful.

cyclinglady, great idea. I find the people here are generally helpful (they just don't understand cross contamination) so I'll try that.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Have you had B12 levels checked?

      For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.
