Rice cakes.

[Beach bum]

I have been feeling almost normal lately and recently went on holiday where I kind of let my hair down and ate (and drank) probably too much. But I felt really great for it.

This week feeling a bit guilty and noticing I am now able to put weight on again I got in some low fat snacks for work, including caramel flavour rice cakes. I love these, but I have noticed that I feel a bit bloated and uncomfortable ( with a bit of left side pain) could it be the rice cakes or am I just suffering for last weeks excesses?

I have just noticed that they are made with whole grain rice (although only contain 0.2g of fibre per cake ) - could this be the problem, I do generally try to stick to a low fibre diet.
Anyone else had trouble with rice cakes, I used to eat a lot of the plain ones when I was very poorly.

Hmmm you try to be good:award2:

And see what happens :evil:

I also love caramel rice cakes, but they do bloat me. So I only eat a few at at a time

It could be the sugar, multodextrin, soy, and 'natural ' flavours, or it could be your past catching up with you

I think I may have been heading for a flare - possibly due to getting a bit blaze in my eating habits as I felt well.
I am very hopeful that the juice fast will sort me out, then praps I can try the cakes again when I am well , with different results.

I especially like the caramel ones as you can break them up and pretend it is toffee popcorn

Ive never tried the caramel ones but do eat the plain ones with peanut butter or a slice of cheese and I dont seem to have a problem with them. ive looked for non-wholegrain crackers but never seem them unfortunately
