Hi to all,

i tried something now, that one co-worker of my husband said he had done. This co-worker is a celiac, too. Put your rice cake in your toaster. I know, it says on the package not to do it. But if you put the toaster on low and watch it the whole time, so you could take it out, before it goes black, not much should happen. The result is much better than this untasty rice bread. Me for my part i couldn't see it anymore <_< . It's very yummy :P . I put some breadspread on it that i like. Sometimes plain old country crock, Nutella, liverwurst or cheese. Hmmm!!! Can't get enough.

Enjoy!

Stef

Stef,

What brand of rice cakes do you use for this? Sounds good! I might actually have to break out the toaster again!

GET A BREADMACHINE !!

ENJOY BREAD AGAIN !!

gluten-free bread actually comes out so good that non-celiacs are happy to eat it and won't even KNOW it's gluten-free if u don't tell them.

I use the Quaker's rice cakes. They are very yummy. They also taste "untoasted". But toasted they're much better.

And @ tom: I don't buy a bread machine, because i get one for christmas ;) and then head first in all the breads. Yippie!!! :D Praise to all good mother-in-laws. :lol: Well, i guess she just spoils me, because my parents live on another continent :lol: and she anyway enjoyes having the daughter she never had :P Couple of days ago my father-in-law made a comment about her, because she spoils me so much and buys a lot of stuff for me. She replied, she will enjoy it even more, when there will be three to buy for. Well, as for right now, there's no baby on the way yet. But soon... :rolleyes:

I eat Lundberg's rice cakes. They are much heavier than quaker and are delicious! I too, make my ricewiches, with mayo, coldcuts, tomato and melt cheese on the top. Beats a rice bread sandwich any day! The Lundberg rice cakes do have 70 calories, compared to Quakers 35, but they are nice good healthy calories. They have flavors like Wild rice, brown rice, honey nut, and so on. So you're getting some fiber in there too. Enjoy! :)

Are both kinds gluten-free, both the Lundenburg and Quaker...

I know the Lundberg Farms ones are - everything they make with the exception of a couple of seasoned rice mixes is gluten-free - and Quaker has said that theirs are (most flavors, I think - someone correct me on this one?), but there's a risk of cross contamination that a few people have written about on the board.

What "flavor" of rice cakes do you use?--i don't know if there's a plain, cause i've always had a flavored rice cake.

Thanks :D

Oh, Tiffany, with the Quaker rice cakes I THINK that all of the large ones are gluten-free....and the minis are problematic.....I haven't had them in months, though, so i can't remember the full list

Real Foods are the BEST!! They are "corn thins" and are wonderful for a tuna melt, PB & J, a slice of cheese or just to munch on. They also say not to put them in the toaster, but I haven't had any problems. They aren't available everywhere, but healthfood stores are more likely to have them. Go to www.realfoods.com to see where you can get them.

WELL CRAP!!!! :angry: I just ate a couple of the butter toffee.. nothing no reaction... but if they have barley, out they go. How come it does NOT say barley on it??? It says nothing about it. And it says contains Milk and Soy and may contain peanuts. They can say that but not mention the stupid barley? Gonna start eating carrots and water soon.

Thanks for the ideas.. I am not fan of ANY bread I have made. Manna from Anna is the best... but you still cannot just slice it and eat it. I so miss my sandwiches.. But you see I hated even multi grain bread in my gluten in my days.. I liked soft white bread. :(

The Quaker mini apple cinnimon rice cakes are gluten and casein free, but almost addictive. They are hard to stop eating, I swear. Several of the flavored rice cakes have casein, but these don't. However, check the ingredients.....sugar is the first on listed for the apple cinnamon ones!!!!!!!!! They are still relatively low in calories if you can stop eating them at some sensible time. I miss sandwiches too and good french bread. I have a bread mix here and have never even tried it, but I think I may just give it a try. I don't have a bread machine, so it will be by hand....have been making do with rice/almond and rice/pecan breads from the store which you pretty much have to toast because they are so heavy. They do make good garlic toast with spaghetti, though with lots of butter and garlic. I like corn spaghetti as it keeps it shape just like wheat as opposed to rice spaghetti which tends to get mushy. I make my own sauce with Contadina tomato products cooking slowly and you just can't tell the pasta is any different with a good sauce on it.

My mom just bought me some ACME brand rice cakes, Caramel corn and Pop Corn Flavor. I tried the Caramel and they are pretty good. No reaction thus far. They are the big ones. They don't have gluten free on the package and they say that they are processed in a plant that also processes soy and nuts. But again, no reaction thus far. Is this a good sign that they are gluten-free?

By the Way, my info:

Celiac or Gluten-intolerant by self diagnosis

elimination diet

Going for blood tests within next month.

I am just self diagnosis until I can get actual diagnosis

then I will post results in signature line

      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...

      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.
