We've been eating the reformulated Quaker ones with no problem. They say gluten-free right above the nutritional info. If it's not there, don't buy them!

If you're okay with corn, try Corn Thins. They're Australian, but we get them here in Canada (sorry, not sure where you are). They are delicious and have way more flavour than rice cakes. Think of popcorn, but in the form of a think ricecake!

Lundberg apple cinnamon rice cakes + peanut butter = love. That is all. :D

On the quaker site and the rice cake bags themselves, there is allergy information. It always states what is DOES contain and what it MAY contain. And all sources of gluten are listed, not just wheat. For example the cracker-jack flavour says CONTAINS BARLEY. The plain ones say MAY CONTAIN PEANUT. Since they are so good about labelling (and the fact that I don't get sick from them) I trust that they are safe!

PS I am in Canada, this might be different other places

i had the same question about quaker and i i actually called them. i specifically asked about the gluten free issue (despite labeling - you just never know!) and then directly asked them about cross contamination/same equipment, etc. they told me explicitly that it was a dedicated line and if it weren't, they are not allowed to declare it gluten free (or they could but would be required to put a warning on the label).

so i think you're safe with quaker!

I saw them in Whole Foods in the US. It made me laugh to see them somewhere so fancy - I never thought of them as being anything special pre-going gluten free. But yes, they are gluten free and they are very tasty. I like the multi-grain ones best. Unfortunately I've found I don't tolerate corn very well and I had to stop eating them. I save my occasion corn eating for tacos.

I love Quaker caramel rice snack cakes, and the chocolate ones, and the apple cinnamon ones as well. They don't say "gluten free" on the front of the bag, but there are no wheat ingredients listed and for allergens it just says milk and soy. I don't have problems eating them, and since I'm counting calories they are a great afternoon snack food.

Maybe I got a bad batch or something, but I got glutened really badly by Quaker rice cakes. I found a health food store nearby that has Corn Thins, though, so I'm looking forward to trying those.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
