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

i-geek Rookie

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

mushroom Proficient

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.

Wolicki Enthusiast

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.

i've been enjoying the quaker brand carmel corn with pb and sliced banana! :) its been a good snack or quick meal. also, the regular flavor with a homemade avacado spread for another quick lunch or appetizer.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      How do I contact someone at celiac.com concerning the cessation of my weekly e-newsletter? I had been receiving it regularly for years. When I tried to sign-up on the website, my email was not accepted. I tried again with a new email address and that was rejected as well. Thank you in advance!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
