Hey,

I was just wondering if anyone knows if the Quaker mini rice cakes in the cheddar flavor are gluten free- I didn't really see any problem ingredients but I just want to make sure.

Thanks!

Jennifer

Quaker says that NONE of their products are gluten-free because they process so many other grains. Sorry.

Try Lundberg Rice Cakes.

Also, I've had a brand called Koyo or something like that, but I think they may only be in Canada.

Both are good and I haven't had any CC issues.

Good luck!!

I eat Lundberg all the time with no problems.

Yep Lundberg are good. I would stay away from Quacker due to cc issues.

I've seen them at Sun Harvest (Wild Oats), Whole Foods, Randall's (Safeway), and any other small health food stores I've been to.

They're good, too! They're heartier and have a better texture than quaker.

In the pacific northwest, I can get them at Safeway, QFC, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Larry's, and the smaller health food stores as well.

Definately stay away from Quaker! We have tried them twice, both the regular and minis, and my little girl had reactions both times. So now, we only eat Lundberg. The buttery caramel ones are pretty good, but they do fall apart quite easily. I always have to vacuum the whole house after my kids have walked around eating rice cakes!

I am not really celiac but have some kind of wheat problem that seems to be 100% better since staying away from wheat products for 2 weeks.

but what I definately am is diabetic (type II)

I suffer from a snack withdrawl since I am addicted to junk food snacks and I have had nothing for the last 2 weeks. I like that crunch that rice cakes give so I bought the flavoured rice cakes.

Now normal rice dishes are not a problem. I usually eat basmati rice and feel comfortable.

Rice cakes though send my blood sugar through the roof. Just 2 rice cakes are a way too much for me. As much as I like the flavours, rice cakes are a no-no for me.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      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.
