I called about the rice cakes. I knew they were going to say there was cross contamination likely, but they told me they have a new product coming out that will be marked gluten free! I asked if that meant it was going to be made in a gluten free facility and she indicated that it was (I'm not believe it 100% yet though because she seemed just a tad uncertain). She said to watch the shelves for packages of rice cakes marked gluten free, so when I see them I will probably call again to see about the facility.

It's good that other large companies are hopping on the gluten-free bandwagon. Would be nice if they could put out some certified gluten-free products with oats though.

Hooray! Am I to understand then that the rice cakes currently out there are in danger of having gluten? That would explain some things.. I had the apple cinnamon and the caramel flavors here the last couple of weeks.

At the present time those rice cakes would not be safe. Unless I know for sure that the new gluten-free line is processed in a dedicated plant I wouldn't touch them. Way to much of a CC risk.

Nope, I'd never heard of them. Maybe I can find them at Whole Foods. (edit) My local store's site has them listed. I'll give them a shot.. hopefully not too expensive.

They are pretty good and if memory serves me not too out of line price wise. There are also some corn based gluten-free 'rice cakes' around, I wish I could remember their name but you may find them in the same area of Whole Foods as the Lundberg. Those were good also and thinner, to me they tasted like popcorn.

I think raven might be talking about cornthins and they are very good. I perfer them over rice cakes. It is to bad about the quaker because I liked those better than the lundburg ones. The lundburg, in my opinion were too hard and I did not care for the taste.

Thank you so much for researching and posting this!

The only trouble I foresee is unfortunately a big one: Quaker probably knows that under the proposed labeling laws, they can label their product "gluten-free" even if it contains up to 20 ppm gluten. But currently, no legal definition seems to exist for "gluten-free." At this point, all "gluten-free" labeling is voluntary, anyway.

We've seen this kind of thing already with Rice Dream (processed with barley enzymes, but they are not listed in the ingredients, and sensitive celiacs notoriously react to it).

Yep, this worries me too. I personally think things are going to get worse before they get better for Celiacs....we are seeing more and more mainstream products come out with products that say "gluten free", which have up to (or more I believe) 20ppm of gluten. That leaves us going in circles trying to figure out what is making us sick, b/c we don't think the products labeled "gluten free" could be the source.

It took me 6 months to figure out Chex was making us all sick! I know some can handle it fine, but I'm finding more and more people who are reacting. This frustrates me to no end, when I am trying like mad to keep my daughter well so she can grow and not have so many learning challenges. I don't need trend hopping companies making a dime at my daughter's expense.

So sorry, didn't mean to rant on your post! Thanks for posting about the rice cakes, it is good to know about new products! After Rice Dream, Chex, the Wellshire Farms nuggets, etc...I'm just a wee bit skeptical these days, :)

I found the gluten free quaker rice cakes at kroger tonight! The big rice cakes say gluten free, the chocolate flavor and apple cinnamon! I hope the small quakes become gluten free as well. I will call tom to make sure they are on seperate lines but I feel like they would be. Because if you call they warn you about cross containimation but ingridents are gluten free. So if they have decided to label them I would think they have gone the extra mile to make them safe.

So I called quaker about the gluten free labeling on the rice cakes I purchased the other night. I asked if they were produced on seperate lines or just gluten free ingridents. The kind representative told me that they are produced seperately, she said if there was a chance it was cross containimated the product would say either produced on lines that contain wheat, or may contain wheat. Just thought Id pass this along. The only flavors I have seen marked gluten free are the chocolate and apple cinnamon rice cakes.. the normal size cakes not the small ones. The chocolate ones are pretty good:) She did say they are in the process of reviewing their products, ingridents, and production and are looking for more products to be labeled gluten free!

Great :) we've had bad luck with them before - glad they are working to make some of their products safe!

Thanks for sharing.

Oh good, I'm glad it was true! I gave my original pack to my kids, but now I'll look for the new ones next time I go shopping. :)

I think you are talking about Corn Thins? They do taste like popcorn!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
