Rice Cakes

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.

Thanks for the tip! Have been having PB&J and butter and really enjoying it!

Even my nonceliac husband is eating them!

I love the Real Foods Corn Thins too. They are great anytime with or without toppings.

;) Quaker Crackerjack original corncakes are a staple of my diet--DONT BUY THE BUTTER TOFFEE ONES, THEY CONTAIN BARLEY--and the caramel corncakes are ok too--they are the only 2 that i will eat so i cant answer on the others--deb

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

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
