What Are Your Favorite Rice Cakes?

Since going gluten free, I'm finding that I am falling back on rice cakes daily! I really like the Suzie's brand but they are manufactured in a facility with wheat products although it says gluten free on the package. This seems to be the case with a lot of rice cakes. Are there any that you like that are definitely 100 percent gluten free? I'm not a fan of taking chances on CC!

Thanks!

Lundberg is good and made on dedicated equipment the last I checked.

As far as I know, Lundberg doesn't process any gluten ingredients in their facility. Their products are all rice-based. I love their rice cakes, especially the apple-cinnamon and wild rice flavors. Very yummy with peanut butter.

Quaker is now marked gluten free also. Just the full sized ones.

I didn't know anyone actually ate those things :o I tried some in my gluten eating days and thought they were awful :lol: Maybe I could tolerate a flavored one though; I dunno :unsure:

not bad at all with some peanut butter!

put a little PB, strawberries/bluberries and chocolate syrup and you've got a desert.

pretty good!

Lundberg.

I refer to them as sanity savers. They are safe for both me and the dogs with allergies. Even my husband eats them. :lol:

Broken up in little pieces, they make crackers to go with cheese. Whole, with peanut butter or guacamole, refried beans, even tomato sauce and cheese.

Crumbled, they make gluten free RICE CRISPED CEREAL, to go with nut milks. You can also use them for a home made granola cereal type base by adding nuts and coconut and dried fruits. They can also be mixed with popped corn.

Moistened, they can be used for stuffing or meatloaf filling.

Really, I don't work for them, but they are the handiest little things to have around, and they keep for a long time.

night try the other ideas though, but this is the part I don't like: and they keep for a long time. :lol::lol:

I'm always suspicious of anything that keeps for a loooonng time :o

If you don't like them, don't eat them.

Like I said, it's been a long time. I probably should give them another chance, with some flavours in 'em :P

True. And the Lundberg ones are much better than the ones I remember from my mom's 80s fad diet days. Those ones were just like styrofoam packing material. The Lundberg ones seem crunchier and more substantial.

Neroli, I am with you. No matter which brand (I think Ive tried them all) they're all like styrofoam. My family and I eat them every day, but we put stuff on them. It fills the need for crunchy that you miss gluten free. We spread them with peanut butter and jelly/banana/honey, cream cheese/honey/coconut.

I have actually enjoyed the caramel flavor with nothing on them. And the chocolate. Just be careful, because the mini's are not gluten free.

I love them, I eat the plain ones every day with whatever on them (most of it was already mentioned)

And they are my go-to food after being glutened (or when slightly hungover...)water and rice cakes. I ate them before I was gluten free too.

Y'know, I like rice cakes, and different flavors of them and everything. But I CANNOT eat them without making an unholy mess. I have to eat them over the sink, am I the only one with this problem?!?!

I like the Lundberg rice cakes also. Corn Thins are another alternative, similar to rice cakes but much thinner. The Corn Thins are made in a dedicated facility.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
