Quaker Rice Cakes

Funny thing happened today. I bought Quaker plain rice cakes yesterday and decided to try them this morning. I ate them in the car and by the time I got to work I had to go poop. I ended up having diarrhea, and am wondering if there could be hidden gluten in them even though the ingredients don't indicate so. Maybe it's just the stress of my new job (started on Wednesday in a very busy government office). Anyone know about the rice cakes?

I believe that Quaker claims that the normal-sized ones are gluten-free... but Quaker is a risky company...very high oat contamination. Not sure...I haven't had their rice cakes in many months and then I was getting symptoms from something else, too, so often that I wouldn't even have noticed if I was ingesting gluten or not.

Quaker is definitely a risky company. They have high contamination of oats. I used to eat the rice cakes but haven't had them in a while either and after seeing their contamination issues of some things I think I'll stay away from that company.

I have always eaten the plain rice cakes without any problems. BUT, having said that... I think I will also avoid them in the future. I am doing the SCD, and after getting cleaned out during this year, I don't want ANY contamination issues after all this work!! :)

I eat the plain rice cakes and don't seem to have a problem with them, but if there is a high risk of oat contamination than maybe I should try and avoid them.

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but what is SCD?

I've heard just enough about contamination from them - though as you can see, not everyone has that problem - that I don't eat them. I stick with Lundberg Farms.

Quaker's claim to fame is oats, yes. However, it is not as though everything is made in one room! Mydaughter loves their rice cakes and has never had problems. But if one were feeling uncomfortable about cross-contamination at the factory there are many brands of rice cakes available. Each person has to decide for himself about taste though. Some brands are loved by some and hated by others and it is hard to switch if you are hooked on one brand. Are you certain it was a gluten reaction and not something else? Pooping is not always a bad thing!!! If it was from gluten, are you certain it could not be from something else?

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
