Rice Cakes - The Little Ones

I know the big/regular size rice cakes are gluten free, but I was wondering if the mini rice cakes are gluten free. Not the ones that come in individual packages but the one Quaker calls Quakes rice snacks. I am finally getting hubby to come around to the idea of eating rice cakes so was wondering if the mini ones are safe too.

Thanks

My iPad app lists only these large ones:

Caramel corn

Light Salt

Unsalt

White cheddar

I think there have been discussions on here that the small ones are troublesome.

Just looking at the Quaker web site FAQs it says they can't say any are gluten-free.

Ahhhh....The joys of Celiac! :)

Sadly, I don't think they are safe. You can look at the ingredients online here (select the product and then click nutritional info): Open Original Shared Link

Just from glancing at a couple of them I saw Barley malt in one and tocopherols it two others. You would need to find out the source of the tocopherols.

BTW, have you seen the unsafe ingredient list: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/forbidden-gluten-food-list-unsafe-ingredients-r182/

I printed it out and carry it with me when I go to the store.

Last time I checked Quaker said the large ones marked "Gluten Free" on the package were OK, but the small ones were NOT gluten free due to cross contamination or direct ingredients used.

I am pretty sure that they are not gluten free. In fact, I blame those little yummy gems (I loved the blueberry) for sending me into a tailspin that ended up with me in the hospital finally getting diagnosed with Celiac! LOL! So check your labels, but I'm pretty sure that they are called "multi-grain" cakes, and have all sorts of barley and wheat in them. My boyfriend used to call them "fart-cakes", because every time I ate them I got gassy. Of course, a couple weeks after falling in love with them I found out why I was so gassy! *blush*

Good luck, and be careful! I am finally feeling better after an accidental glutening 2 days ago! Tonight I am attempting my first "real meal" in 48 hours! Gluten stinks! ;)

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
