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!)

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
