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!)

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
