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.

I think I'll lay off of Quaker for a while. Thanks celiac3270. :)

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?

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion.

In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
