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.

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

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

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
