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!!

Ditto this question.

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".

      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!

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). 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!

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      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.
