Glutened Myself...

Seriously, I can't even imagine how many times I've seen on this board not to eat Quaker rice cakes because of cross contamination and posts from those glutened by them. So I said, no more Quaker! So I started buying Mother's...(I'm sure some of you know where I'm going with this now) so I'm eating a cheddar rice cake and BAM I feel like crap...can't suck my big, fat, gut in to save my life and I'm so full of gas that I want to scream. So I'm starting to look at everything I've eaten, and I grab the Mother's, and right there - RIGHT THERE on the package it says Distributed by the Quaker Oats Company. I can only assume that since it's distributed by Quaker that they follow the same guidelines - and I can't find anything that says where Mother's are made (is it indeed the same plant?) and what other products are made under the Mother's name. God this frustrates me...oh well, I'm looking forward to a nice evening of gas and bloat! <_<

What? Quaker rice cakes may be contaiminated? How did I miss that memo? I eat them all the time and haven't had a problem, but I guess I'm not eating them anymore if they may contain gluten.

It happens to everyone. Many people seem to have trouble with that company...you overlooked it and made a mistake. Don't beat yourself up...you did not do it intentionally.

To the poster before me, Quaker Oats gluten free products are known to have high levels of contamination and should not be considered safe.

That's weird. I just called them and they told me that their plain and lightly salted rice cakes are ok. They even knew what celiac sprue is, but I trust people here more than Quaker Corporate.

They claim they are gluten free but they are not. They did testing and all of their gluten free products showed high levels of gluten. I have reacted to everything I have tried from them.

Shoot. Well, maybe this explains why I've been sick this week...

It blows my mind how many things I'm still finding in my house that contain gluten. You'd think after nine months I'd be better at this...

And I echo your sentiments - it's been 8 months for me and I empathize greatly. There are surprises at every corner, that's for sure! I know it's going to get easier with time...so I'll stick it out for the long haul! :lol:

so what's the verdict on the store bought brands...do you think those are made alongside oats and other gluteny items??? I have bought Stop n Shop brand rice cakes before, and haven't NOTICED a problem...

rice cakes are a staple for me - I eat them for breakfast and often for lunch too

(I have a great "sandwich" of a rice cake, thick slice of salted tomato, tuna and a slice of cabot - my coworkers actually get envious of it!)

      Anyone understand genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your genetic test results confirm that you carry the highest-risk markers for celiac disease, specifically the HLA-DQ2 haplotype (while being negative for HLA-DQ8). The fact that both HLA-DQA1*05 and HLA-DQB1*0201 appear twice means you inherited identical copies from each parent, making you homozygous for these genes. This double dose of the DQ2.5 haplotype is significant because it indicates an even stronger genetic predisposition to celiac disease compared to those who only inherit one copy. Research suggests that people with this homozygous pattern may have a higher likelihood of developing the disease, potentially more severe immune responses to gluten, and a stronger...

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you and your daughter are navigating celiac disease with a lot of care and dedication, and it’s wonderful that you’re prioritizing her health and growth during this critical time. Since her antibody levels and growth have plateaued, tightening up her diet by avoiding eating out (except at dedicated gluten-free places) is a smart move—even if it’s challenging socially. Many parents of celiac kids report significant growth spurts once gluten exposure is minimized, so there’s hope she’ll catch up if her levels improve. As for the future, while her growth window closing may reduce some risks, celiac is lifelong, and staying as strict as possible will likely always be best...
