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*!)

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
