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*!)

      Hi Cristiana! It's so nice to meet you! Thank you for the kind reply I am glad I live in a time where you can connect with others through the Internet. That is a mercy I am grateful for.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
