Gluten Free Rice Paper


GlutenGalAZ

Recommended Posts

GlutenGalAZ Enthusiast

I live in a small town and have been looking for Rice Paper to make wraps with.

I thought it would be a nice way to change the normal meats with veggies and rice.

I was thinking about ordering with a.m.a.z.o.n since I cannot find any local. Or is there a better site to order from?

What brands are safe (gluten free)?

Any pointers on using Rice Paper?

Thanks!!

I use the Banh Trang Que Huong Asian Boy (E B Q) Galettes de Riz Spring Roll Skin. from B.C.N. Trading Co. with Dac Biet Mong also on the label, product of Vietnam (I could go on...), they look similar to this and are fun to use:

I haven't come across any with gluten in them yet.

Oops, (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) always treats me righteously and for pointers, just soak them in room-temperature water until pliable, which isn't too long. There are tons of recipes on the net for them, most involve fresh vegetables and basil, but you can put just about anything inside, then wrap like a burrito. Be sure to make a good dipping sauce, like soy-ginger to go alongside, or if you have issues with soy, live it up and order some fish sauce while you're at it...that's a bit of an acquired taste, but addictive afterwards, imho.

Thank you for the info =)

I looked at the link you put in and I have seen that brand on a.ma.z.o.n.

I was thinking of either ordering somehwere online OR.... Whole Foods should probably sell it? There is one about an hour in a half from us that we might be going to sometime in the next month or thinking about asking my mom to look at the one by them in CA.

Oh... The Rice Paper is it something you can make and put in a container for lunch at work type of thing or more of a make it and eat it right then type of meal?? They look really fun to use.

Thanks!

I found them at Whole Foods. Here is a good thread on how to use them: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...st&p=392354

Most if not all Asian rice papers are gluten free.

Normally just rice and some other insignificant subs.

They can be found in Asian stores.

Rice papers are commonly used in Thai or around that section or Chinese or Japanese will do.

Hope it helps and good luck.

Oh, they come in varying sizes usually. Big (bigger than the average' woman's hand) or smaller which is about the size one an average hand.

Thank you everyone for the great info on Rice Paper.

I have been trying to figure out a brand to get b/c I haven't been able to make it to Whole Foods (1.5hrs away).

I have seen this brand online a lot... seems to be the most popular one or at least the easiest one to find online.

The only thing is I just read on a site that was selling it:

"The main raw material used for rice paper production is white rice. White rice powder is mixed with tapioca flour to make the rice paper glutinous and smooth."

But then under ingredients it shows:

"Ingredients: Flour, salt and water "

I guess now I am nervous b/c it mentions Tapioca when it talks about the item but then in the ingredients it doesn't show it.

Is this pretty common with Rice Paper (the Tapioca Flour)?

I cannot tollerate Tapioca :(

Thanks for any input.

I go to a local asian food store. These days, the ingredients generally are printed in english on a separate label added to the packaging. I've not had a problem finding one that says "rice flour, water".

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
