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.

Yum :)

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 think Quaker just uses that blanket statement to cover their butts <_<

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

e&j0304 Enthusiast

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?

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. 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 am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com
