I have read so many times that Quaker Ricecakes cant be trusted. I have eaten them now for over 5 years and not once been glutened. BUT, because everyone is saying not to trust Quaker, I decided to try another. I bought Lundberg and they are discusting :angry: ! I will go without before eating these. Any other good ones out there????

Can you have corn? If you can I love the Corn Thins. They hold up so much better than a rice cracker. They are thin and crispy, perfect for lox and cream cheese!

I have eaten too many of the Lundberg's ones. Would be great to find others, but I actually have not seen any. I stay away from corn (most of the time) so far.

I rather like the Lundberg ones (the sesami tamari are my favorite with eggs, but the honey nut are quite good with peanut butter). *shrugs* My guess is that the texture of rice cakes is liked by some, but not all. :)

I like Lundberg rice cakes. I'm not sure of any other safe brand.

After reading the posts in here about Quaker Rice cakes I had to call them on Monday. I called the 1-800 # on the package, and they were very friendly, I asked to speak about the ingrediants, and the gal immediatly asked me if I was referring to Celiac Spru... She explained that while they do not add any gluten products, they are processed, so there is a minimal possibility of cross contamination, but unless you are extremely sensative to it.... it's a trial basis. I have so far done good. She did say that there maple syrups Ms Butterworths are safe/gluten free. I have taken the adive of another poster and decided to bring my cell phone to the store with me (Mon-Fri before 5 pm and just call the 1-800 #)

I've been eating the Lundberg organic rice cakes for many years. I buy them by the case. Before I eat the cakes, I microwave them to get the moisture out and make them crispy.

CAUTION: The wattage of the microwave will determine how long to cook them. It might be best to experiment with the microwave first -- only cook them for 15 seconds and turn them over each time. Keep cooking them until they are the way you like them. I usually cook 1 minute on each side (in an 800 watt microwave - very old model). Be very careful because I've accidentally burnt them to ashes in the past and nearly started a fire.

I haven't tried putting them in the oven -- the same results might be had though it may take a bit longer to bake the moisture out of the cakes.

Bake several at once and store them in a plastic bag.

I use the crumbs to top off salads or veggies.

Enjoy!

I'd never even thought about cooking them! I'll have to try that.

I think the lundberg ones are just as good as any others. I don't really eat them often, but I do try and vary how I enjoy them. I like to put different things on them. Some of my favorite things to eat on rice cakes are peanut butter (sometimes w/ thin curls of chocolate), cream cheese, jam, tuna, egg salad, and I bet melted cheese would be good too.

I will have to try using them as crutons too :)

I also really like the lundberg rice chips, just thought I'd add that if y'all haven't tried them. They're different than other chips, but way good!

I have yet to find any rice cake that I can abide. To quote Bill Cosby when he first tried a rice cake--

"THE AIR IN MY MOUTH TASTES BETTER THAN THIS!"

I have never tasted a rice cake, but am eating Quakers rice snacks. They're certainly different than regular chips such as fritos, cheetos or potato chips (which I also eat).

Cheddar cheese are kind of strange but not bad really, kind of addicting. Taste like cheese popcorn. They are thicker than the others. There is no wheat or oats listed. Rice flour and corn (with germ removed) are first two ingredients. There is blue cheese (cultured milk,salt,enzymes,annatto extract) and msg. At the bottom it says "contains milk and soy ingredients".

Caramel corn tastes like - caramel popcorn! They're light and crispy, just like it says. Rice, sugar and corn. Says "contains Milk and soy ingredients". No msg. They are very, very sweet!

Multigrain minis - cinnamon sugar (NEW! it says) are similar to the caramel corn but tastes like cinnamon sugar. Whole grain brown rice flour, whole grain yellow corn, whole grain oat flour, corn bran flour. These are pretty sweet but not as bad as the caramel corn. Says " contains soy ingredients".

Lots of other ingredients, I just mentioned what I thought the highlights were. best regards, lm

Am I the only one who gets them crunchy right out of the bag? I mean "liter the carpet with rice cake crumps' crunchy. :)

Well, I have eaten Quaker Caramel Corn cakes since I went gluten-free over 5 years ago, daily. I have never been glutened. The only reason I eat them is to have something to put my peanut butter on. ;) Caramel Corn is the only one I like--I tried the white cheddar ones and threw them out--ewwwwwwww. Thes Lundberg ones are no where near the standards of Quaker. They fall apart when you try to pick them up, they crumble all over while you are eating and the taste is not appealing to me. I have been spoiled by Quaker!!!!!!! :huh: I am going back to my Quaker and taking my chances, just as we do everyday anyways.

Larry, I would be very careful with the multigrains--the oat bran could cause problems! I also very sick once on the Quaker Choc Chip Snacks, but that was because of the corn and soy, I think and I only ate 3 or 4 of them! As for the corn products--I can't eat anything that is made with only corn--the little bit in the caramel corn cakes does not seem to effect me, yet I can not eat corn chips of any kind.

I bought Lundberg and they are disgusting :angry: !

My feelings, exactly. I'll do without rice cakes. I really only like the flavored ones, and since corn is an issue, that eliminates those.

I'm sorry :unsure: It's true, there are those of you out there who like Lundberg or they wouldn't still be on the market. Kev says that maybe the ones I bought are outdated. We can't find an expiration date anywhere on the package. They taste like very stale, tough popcorn, so, maybe he is correct, they are old. Yet, I am the type that takes a long time to give a food another chance once I am disappointed by it.

I am sticking with my Quaker Ricecakes for now, maybe I will just give them up all together.

I've gotten some at Trader Joe's that were TOO good, I could eat a whole bag almost in one sitting. They've got added salt and a kind of buttery flavor. They didn't taste like drywall, which is what I always thought rice cakes pretty much tasted like. :)

Yeah, if that's what they tasted like, you got old ones. And I've had a couple bags that were crumbles when I opened them, but that's the exception, rather than the rule. A store that goes through a lot of them is important, so you get fresh ones. But I can totally understand not wanting to give them another shot if you're that hesitant. (Stale rice cakes *suck*!)

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
