Mother keeps bugging me to go off my bread and i need something else to pacify my peanut butter craving.

I haven't had rice cakes in a very long time, and have no idea what to look for. Tips?

Quaker Rice Cakes are great and they say gluten free on them. I haven't had any problems with them. But I have only tried the lightly salted. They are also very easy on my tummy which is great because my main reaction to gluten is horrible tummy pain and nausea. Eggs and corn elicit the same reaction so far, just not quite as bad. Rice, potatoes, and quinoa are my friend :) Hope this helps!

I used to get a brand called Mother's but I haven't been able to find them in my stores lately. They are marked gluten-free and just always tasted better to me than the other brands. Now I buy Quaker or my local store brand now (Farm Fresh's brand) as both are labeled gluten free.

There are lots of options besides bread and rice cakes to put PB on however. I love PB myself so I understand. I eat it on celery, gluten-free crakers, gluten-free pancakes, I dip gluten-free pretzels in it, I even put PB in stew--do a search for Groundnut Stew or West African Stew and you will find recipes most of which have peanut butter. I love making peanut butter dipping sauces for spring rolls too!

Lundberg rice cakes. If they are not crispy enough once opened, it helps to heat them a little to refresh, either in the toaster or microwave. They can also be crumbled and used for rice cereal, rice crispy type treats, or for "bread" crumbs.

If you can tolerate corn, I'd recommend Corn Thins. Way more taste than rice cakes. They're Australian, but we get them here in Canada. I can't eat apples anymore, but when I could, I'd just spread peanut butter on apple slices. I've also been known to just eat it straight out of the jar!

I like a scoop of peanut butter in the hollow of a canned pear half; you can also spread it on other fruits such as apples or sliced bananas. Or celery. And then there's Reese's peanutbutter cups!

Lundberg, all the way. My 16mo-old daughter loves them, and has eaten close to two of them in the past day and a half! :) (I love them with peanut butter as well.)

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.
