Corn Thins

I just thought I would share this for anyone interested in a change from boring old rice cakes. Some of you may already be familure with them. I discovered Corn Thins at our local Earth Fare. You can find them in the same place as the rice cakes. I have eaten the original and multigrain ones. I like that they are really thin, maybe about 1/4" thick, as opposed to a thick rice cake. The are really crunchy and make a great "sandwich" I like to take two and put ham and cheese with mustard. Yum! I'm sure the possibilities are endless. I have included a link to their site.

While tasty, three warnings I feel the need to share, I researched after getting sick off these suckers :

Rice, Gluten, Soy CC

Sensitive celiacs : know the company makes one product with barley. (theoretically on different equipment but in the same area.)

Legume or Soy allergy : Some products contain soy, the rest are produced on the same equipment.

Rice allergy : I emailed them, and it turns out they responded :

Thank you for your query. We value your comments and appreciate your feedback.

There is potential for cross contamination between Corn and Rice as we do not Rice grains are not treated and managed as an allergen. The amount of Rice in Corn Thins is however, likely to be very small - perhaps on or 2 grains per Corn Thin, and this would only occur very seldom when we have run Rice products before we run Corn Thins. Any popped rice grains would be visible in the Corn Thin (light creamy white colour compared to light yellow Corn Colour of Corn).

We do hope this information is of use to you.

kind regards

I believe that they are all manufactured in Australia (please correct me if I'm wrong) with some flavors only available in Australia. There are people with other sensitivities and they need to be aware of the other ingredients. Thanks for sharing the additional information. I have a friend with some other food intolerences, so I'll be sure to let them know. I'm not sensitive to very very small cross contamination. I don't have any other food intolerance/sensitities and I have been eating these regulary. If I was going to have a problem I would know by now. I even tolerate quaker rice cakes while alot of others can not. As with other products evaluate and decide if it is something worth trying. :)

Roda, thanks for the information and the link. I had inquired about these on another post. I looked for them last night before reading this post and could not find them, but it is because I was looking in the the cracker sections. I checked the link and my supermarket does carry them so I will surely check out the rice cake section next time I am there. Thanks for sharing.

On that note, as super sensitive celiac, I only get sick from Cornthins sometimes - meaning they do a pretty good job of managing gluten CC, and anyone less sensitive should be safe. But, I am not sensitive enough to soy or rice CC to comment on that.

Oh I LOOOOOVE Corn Thins! I eat them all the time. They are a life saver because I can't eat rice (and I've never seen or felt any CC from eating them.) My favorite way to eat them is to put tuna salad with tomatoes & onions on top. I have that for lunch a lot. Is absolutely delicious!!!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!
