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?

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
