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!!!

      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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      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!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
