I have not bought them in quite some time, but I do believe they are gluten free. HOWEVER, some people do react to them most likely due to cross contamination. Lumberg Rice Cakes are manufactured on dedicated lines and should not be subject to cross contamination.

this is from their website:

Q. Do Quaker Rice Snacks contain gluten?

A. We understand that individuals sensitive to gluten cannot digest even trace amounts of gluten. To date, the Food and Drug Administration has not defined the term "gluten free." Since so many of our products contain grain ingredients and many products are made in the same facility, we cannot guarantee that any particular product is entirely free of gluten

We use the lundberg rice cakes.

I also suggest not to eat any Quaker products. Lundberg Rice Cakes are wonderful as are the Lundberg Rice Chips. You can also use the Rice chips for a base for things like dip, PB & Jelly & bacon etc.

Also, you will not see any gluten listed on Brach's candy - but do not be deceived. A lot of people react to them.

I have eaten Quaker Rice Cakes for almost 8 yrs and have never been glutened by them. I react to the tiniest amout of gluten too and have never had a problem with Quaker. I think the statement they give is a CYA statement. I only eat one type, the Caramel Corn brand.

I find the Lundberg Ricecakes disgusting. I have tried them several times and have never been able to eat them. I have never found any brand I liked as well as Quaker. If I can't have Quaker, I will give ricecakes up, plain and simple.

I ate the Quaker rice cakes with peanut butter last week and got HORRIBLY sick! I've decided to stick with Lundberg after that episode. From what I've read Quaker says that NONE of their products are considered gluten free because of the way they store things. Of course, I realized that after I got sick.

I have no trouble with rice in general, but cannot eat Quaker rice cakes without serious regrets. It's too bad, because they made a great place to spread peanut butter! :rolleyes: I have the same problem with Ralphs, although not as bad. I have never seen Lundberg - are they in regular grocery stores or health food stores or (gasp) only on the East Coast or . . . do I just not know where to look ? :unsure:

I'm a west coaster, I find it a Fred Meyer in the natural food section, safeway and of course any health food store-which I rarely go to.

I wanted to keep something a little more solid around so I picked up a package of the Lundburg brown rice sea salt rice cakes. They were on sale. I wanted to have something once in awhile to have something to put almond butter on. I love them.

How are they diff than Quaker where they are disgusting? I never was a rice cake eater is why I ask.

Home based Mom, Lundberg only does rice. they are a California company. You should be able to find them everywhere in CA. Maybe they are in the health food section of the grocery instead of the chip aisle. If you can eat rice they have wonderful rice blends of all varieties of rice.

Open Original Shared Link here is a link to their web site.

darlindeb, if I were you I think I would try something else. they might be causing you problems & you do not know it. Well, unless you have been feeling 100% perfect health & turning cart wheels to burn off excess energy. If that is the case then you might be able to enjoy them & should continue to do so. We are all different when it comes to what we can eat.

Thanks for the link. :) They list Safeway as an outlet for their products. Around here Safeway = Vons, so I will look there.

Ok, I will give up my Quaker Ricecakes, but, I will put my peanut butter on an apple before I will buy another brand of ricecake. I have never found a ricecake that can compare to Quaker. A few store brands are ok, but they fall apart the minute you touch them, if I can't spread peanut butter on them, then I don't want them anyways. I only want them for something to put my peanut butter on! ;)

I honestly have given Lundberg a fair chance and I find them very much not to my liking, closer to styrofoam. My sister always ate the Cracker Jack Quaker Ricecakes and never had a problem, the ones without barley. There is another big name brand I tried, but I can't remember the name right now, names escape me unless I see them, I didn't like them either. Pathmark has a store brand that taste ok, but they fall apart the minute you touch them--that's no good.

So, I guess I will put my peanut butter on an apple, which isn't my first choice. The caramel corn ricecake is the one thing I have been able to keep in my diet since going gluten free over 7 yrs ago. It's the only tiny bit of grain I have been able to continue to eat. Even Anne Lee, from Dr. Green's office said it sometimes happens this way and they don't understand, but stick with it if it if I do not seem to have issues, but who knows.

The difference is, Quaker is the only ricecake I have found that is stable, it doesn't fall apart at your touch and the caramel corn at least has a tiny bit of taste to it. That's the only reason I prefer it.

Deb,

Try your peanut butter on a toasted Van's Waffle. It's heaven when it melts. :D

Deb - if Quaker Rice Cakes don't bother you, then keep eating them! ;):D

Why would you give up something that works for you just because it doesn't work for someone else ?! :o

I wouldn't! :ph34r:

"Van's" Waffles are found in the frozen section in stores that carry this brand. They have several, but do have a glutenfree/wheat free.

Deb, I'm guessing you have other intolerances???

Here's the ingrediant list for Van's (Gluten Free):

Water, Brown Rice Flour, Potato Starch, Rice Flour, Pear/Pineapple/Peach Sweetener, Canola Oil, Baking Powder (Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Monocalcium Phosphate), Salt, Soy Flour, Soy Lecithin, Guar Gum.

My kids also like peanut butter on their pancakes if you have a pancake recipe that you like!!

Yeah, I can't have them, I can't have soy. Soy lecithin is ok, but soy flour is out. I knew it would be something I couldn't have. :(

Deb, I eat my almond butter on organic celery. I also will heat up a Mission brand White Corn tortilla & put PB & Jelly on it & roll up - & I add bacon :) Adults can also just eat PB out of a spoon !!!! ;)

I have switched from peanut butter to almond butter. Peanut butter is a legume and can contribute to leaky gut...

Try taking one of the lundberg cakes and drizzle with a little honey before spreading the PB. I usually drizzle mine over the top of the apples/bananas.

I found some at Henry's - buy one get one free, no less! B) I agree they are a bit too crumbly, but I kind of liked the nutty brown rice flavor.

The Lundberg ones are really crumbly! It's annoying but after my illness with Quaker I'm way to scared to go down that route again. I'm jealous if some people can tolerate them well- they are the best!

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
