New Ad For Quaker Rice Cakes

We were at our in-laws and I was reading a magazine ad for Quaker Rice Cakes, (sorry I don't have the magazine or the ad, its at MIL's). Anyway, the jist of the ad is Quaker is all excited b/c they are getting healthier add wheat to their products now. They didn't say which rice cakes, but I guess having just rice in the rice cakes wasn't healthy enough for them. :(

I guess now those of us who haven't had a problem with the rice cakes, will have to start reading the labels again! Dang and my kiddos really like them.

Yes - I just went gluten free a few weeks ago and thought - well I better stock up on rice cakes - NOPE! I noticed it contained wheat. Oh well... UGH.

This sucks because I tolerate quaker rice cakes just fine. I have not been eating them as often since I discovered corn thins. They make a really good sandwich! My kids like them so they will still be able to eat them just not me. :( I've heard mixed reviews on the lundburg ones. What I don't like is that they are alot more expensive and 1/2 as thick. I have not tried them yet, but I guess I will be in the future.

Edit: I just sent off an email to the company. I am curious to the response. I'll post it when I get one.

I don't think the Quaker Rice cakes have ever been gluten-free. At least they claim none of their products to be free from cross contamination. We only buy the Lundberg.

I didn't think the Quaker ones were either. I love the Lundberg kind though! The apple cinnamon and bananna nut are really good alone and with peanut butter its almost as good as a sandwich!

I just looked at their website and it looks like the only products affected are the Quakes and mini rice cakes. The ingredients for the lightly salted rice cakes (which is the only flavor I eat) are still just rice and salt. But I will be sure to look at the ingredients for every package I buy just in case.

WTF is the deal with companies deciding that in order to be healthier, they have to add whole wheat to everything? Furthermore, what is the deal with the rest of the country thinking whole wheat is better than whole grain brown rice? ARGGGGH.

It's a marketing gimmick. The person who writes the script for the new labeling will be absolutely clueless as to why a person might be eating a rice cake for in the first place.

Manufacturers will tend to use whatever is cheapest and then task the marketing people to come up with the slogans to foist it off on the consumer.

I don't mind eating a more expensive rice cake like the Lundberg's, when it's made in a rice only facility and the whole line has enough quality control so everything is gluten free. As to the thickness being less so, that's actually an advantage when making a sandwich of 2 rice cakes and a filler like peanut butter and jelly. I have ongoing arthritic changes in my jaw which has slowly decreased my bite space over the years, and I can't open my mouth as far as I could when I was younger.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. 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!!!
