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.

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?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
