Kame Rice Crackers

I just noticed this on the bottom of my Kame rice crackers - "this product may contain trace amounts of peanuts, soy, wheat..." and some other allergen I can't remember. Have Kame products always been cross contaminated or is this something new?

That warning has been on them for a least a year. I bought Hot-Kids Rice'ems Onion flavored crackers as they said "Gluten Free, Low Cholestrol" on the package. They were incredibly tasty. And I got sicker than I have been in over a year. I looked at the package again and it said product of Taiwan. Tried to find a website for them but couldn't. Noticed one ingredient was onion powder. Somewhere I read that when a spice is ground into a powder they often add wheat. I am not sure what ingredient did it, but I never want to be that sick again. And I am 100% positive it was the crackers.

So, at this point I am only eating crackers that are made in a gluten-free facility. I'm just too spooked by that last experience... :(

I bought kame rice crackers too and the noticed the same warning so I chucked 'em. Not worth it, unfortunately, they are tasty. <_<

I've had reactions to onion powder as well. Kraft puts out the "Back to Nature" brand which has two rice cracker options, sesame ginger and white cheddar. The white cheddar is great but I got sick off of it - my best guess is the onion powder. Although Kraft insists they always list a gluten source. I'm a newbie so maybe I missed something!

I do wish Kame would've made that warning more noticeable - it's half hidden under the seam. :ph34r:

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
