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.)

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree that the gastritis may go away after you've been on a gluten-free diet for a while. If you are concerned, it might make sense for you to do a follow up biopsy after  a year or so on a gluten-free diet. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Testing for celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Getting tested for celiac disease is a valid concern, especially given your history of microscopic colitis and the potential risks associated with undiagnosed celiac disease, such as cross-contamination, nutrient malabsorption, and increased cancer risk. Since you’ve been gluten-free for years, reintroducing gluten for the standard celiac blood tests or endoscopy would be challenging, as it requires consuming gluten for several weeks to months, which could worsen your symptoms and disrupt your daily life. Gene testing (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8) through a lab like EnteroLab could be a helpful first step. While these genes are present in nearly all celiac patients, having them doesn’t confirm celiac disease—it only indicates genetic susceptibility. If you don’t have these genes, celiac disease is highly unlikely, which could provide some peace of mind. However, if you do have the genes, it doesn’t confirm celiac disease but suggests further testing might be warranted if you’re willing to undergo a gluten challenge. Another option is to discuss with your doctor whether a follow-up endoscopy or other non-invasive tests (like stool tests for gluten antibodies) could provide insights without requiring a gluten challenge. While a formal celiac diagnosis can be important for ensuring strict dietary adherence, access to gluten-free options in hospitals, and monitoring for complications, it’s also worth weighing the risks and benefits of reintroducing gluten. If you’re already strictly gluten-free and managing your symptoms well, the urgency of a formal diagnosis may depend on your personal health goals and concerns. Consulting a gastroenterologist familiar with celiac disease and Microscopic Colitis can help guide your decision.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Steatorrhea (oily or fatty stools) can indeed be a symptom of malabsorption, which is often linked to gluten exposure in individuals with celiac disease. While it’s possible that a single glutening event, like cross-contamination at a restaurant, could trigger temporary steatorrhea, it’s also worth considering whether there’s a more chronic source of gluten exposure, such as in medications or ongoing dietary mistakes. Since you’ve been less careful recently and experienced this symptom after eating out, it’s plausible that the fries or other cross-contaminated foods could be the culprit. However, if the steatorrhea persists, it might indicate ongoing gluten exposure or another underlying issue, such as pancreatic insufficiency or bile acid malabsorption. Until you can see a GI doctor, it might help to strictly avoid any potential sources of gluten, including cross-contamination, and monitor your symptoms. If the issue continues, it’s important to investigate further, as persistent steatorrhea can lead to nutrient deficiencies. In the meantime, keeping a detailed food and symptom diary could help identify patterns or triggers. Good luck finding a new GI doctor—hopefully, they can provide clarity soon!
