I would like to know how many Celiac People eat Quaker Rice cakes?

I was eating them until the company told me about they are not

Gluten Free. What other snacks are everyone eating. I sure could

go for something right now that would taste good.

Since I'm intolerant to rice, I like Lay's Natural Potato Chips--the Ruffles or the Sea Salted Thick Cut.

I haven't eaten those styrofoam slabs since I was first diagnosed! There's lots to eat out there - if you like salty and crunchy, there's chips, Fritos, Tostitos, Pirate Booty (awesome), some brands of cheese curls, popcorn, etc etc. If you like candy there are plenty out there that are safe - search the web and this site for candy. M&Ms, Snickers. I'm not a big candy fan so I haven't memorized the list like the chocolate junkies have. Unless you go to a health food store or place like Whole Foods, you're kind of out of luck with cookies and crackers, but Nut Thins crackers are becoming more widely available in regular stores and they are really really good. And you can always snack on chunks of cheese, peanuts and raisins, peanut butter smeared on apples or bananas, lots of flavors of ice cream - it takes a little imagination and some planning, but there's lots to eat out there. Now if you're using rice cakes for sandwiches, there are corn cakes (like rice cakes) or corn tortillas or lettuce to wrap your fillings in or corn tostadas to stack them on. Or just roll up the meat and cheese and eat it, the heck with bread. You can do better than rice cakes, even if you find some non-contaminated brands.

Real Foods' Corn Thins are much better than rice cakes. Good with peanut butter, jam, turkey and veggies, just about anything.

I eat Lundberg Farms rice cakes, and they are *definitely* different than 'regular' rice cakes - about twice the density. For snacks, I also have gluten-free cereal (plain, no milk), carrots, dried fruit, or nuts. Apples with peanut butter is good too. ;-)

I had read that the apple and cinnamon rice cakes were the only ones that were ok, so I tried them. I got really bad gas from them. So, I tried them again just to make sure the gas came from the rice cakes, and it did, so I haven't had them since. For some reason, I really love rice cakes. My favorite snack now is Back to Nature White Cheddar Rice Crackers.

I eat rice cakes and like them. I like Mother's Rice Cakes (they are a Quaker product) The only ones I've tried are the plain, salted variety. Good with whatever I put on them and can eat them plain. I am super sensitive and these have never caused a problem.

I keep them tucked in the console of my car and stashed in a desk drawer at work, etc.

Thanks for letting us know that they are not gluten free. I used to eat them a lot, I don't anymore though.

The only rice cakes I eat are Lundberg's Honey Nut. I keep them at work for a snack. They're not bad w/ peanut butter.

I just ate like half a bag of the apple cinnamion rice cakes from Quaker are they not gluten free?? I sure Hope SO!

I know a lot of people don't eat Quaker rice cakes because of CC issues, but I've been eating them without a problem (the plain ones at least). Looking at the ingredients for some of their flavored products, I think they should be gluten-free as well. Is this true?

I think Quaker just uses that blanket statement to cover their butts

I eat the lundberg ones, anyway. They are way yummier

[gointribal]

I eat Quaker rice cakes all the time and I havn't had a problem...now I'm worried

[e&j0304]

ok, I am now worried too. I feed those to my little girl all the time with peanut butter on them for snacks. I also give her the little mini ones for snacks. Is it just a CC issue, or are they really not gluten-free?

Its an issue of CC only.
