Rice noodles and cross-contamination?


NoGlutensToday

Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

What's the risk of getting cross-contaminated rice noodles from the supermarket? I know that rice noodles are naturally gluten free, but I've read of people getting sick because the factory machinery that makes the rice noodles also makes noodles with gluten in them. Is that wide spread?

Are there any reliably/certified gluten free rice noodles out there? Any particular brands people swear by?

Sorry, I have no info on rice noodles to share.  A good way to find out is to contact the maker and ask customer support.  Usually a manufacturer will have support staff available who can answer questions,  I assume you are asking about packaged rice noodles not prepared hot food?

Thanks for the reply. I bought some rice noodles at the grocery store -- I have to prepare them myself.

The brand that made the rice noodles I bought has a website printed on their packaging, but it doesn't work.

I really want to make rice noodles but don't want to deal with the chance of cross-contamination. I get DH and seem to react to relatively low levels of gluten cross-contamination.

I found some rice noodles available through Amazon that are certified Gluten Free. They're significantly more expensive, but until I sort things out this may be my safest bet.

I'd be intersted to hear what others might have to say on this topic. Feel free to jump in the discusion.

Good strategy especially if you have DH!  Avoid processed foods as much as possible and if you do purchase, look for certified gluten-free.  This is an approach used by many of our DH sufferers and they have had good results (you can browse through the DH to verify).

      @knitty kitty I have an appointment to go over the results tomorrow. Vitamin D was in the normal range. I’ve decided to start the gluten contamination elimination diet, while avoiding nightshades as recommended by the AIP. I am still hoping to get support from a nutritionist or advice from the doctor about supplements to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients. I’m still having a hard time sorting through all of the different brands and possible combinations

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain

      I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way—your emotions are completely valid. A celiac diagnosis, especially at your age, is a huge adjustment, and it’s okay to grieve the foods and conveniences you’ve lost. Even with a supportive partner (which is wonderful!), the mental toll is real. Many of us have been there, staring longingly at ‘forbidden’ foods while feeling isolated or frustrated. It does get easier with time, though. The initial shock fades, gluten-free substitutes become more familiar, and you’ll find new favorites. But please be gentle with yourself now. If the sadness feels overwhelming, talking to a therapist or joining a celiac support group (online or in-person) might help. You’re not...

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
