Rice noodles and cross-contamination?

Hi folks,

What's the risk of getting cross-contaminated rice noodles from the supermarket? I know that rice noodles are naturally gluten free, but I've read of people getting sick because the factory machinery that makes the rice noodles also makes noodles with gluten in them. Is that wide spread?

Are there any reliably/certified gluten free rice noodles out there? Any particular brands people swear by?

Sorry, I have no info on rice noodles to share.  A good way to find out is to contact the maker and ask customer support.  Usually a manufacturer will have support staff available who can answer questions,  I assume you are asking about packaged rice noodles not prepared hot food?

Thanks for the reply. I bought some rice noodles at the grocery store -- I have to prepare them myself.

The brand that made the rice noodles I bought has a website printed on their packaging, but it doesn't work.

I really want to make rice noodles but don't want to deal with the chance of cross-contamination. I get DH and seem to react to relatively low levels of gluten cross-contamination.

I found some rice noodles available through Amazon that are certified Gluten Free. They're significantly more expensive, but until I sort things out this may be my safest bet.

I'd be intersted to hear what others might have to say on this topic. Feel free to jump in the discusion.

Good strategy especially if you have DH!  Avoid processed foods as much as possible and if you do purchase, look for certified gluten-free.  This is an approach used by many of our DH sufferers and they have had good results (you can browse through the DH to verify).

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!

      Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?

      By Beck1430 · Posted

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.    Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky
