It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
I doubt you'd be doing much harm with your rice cakes. I use Lundbergs brand and I believe it's labeled gluten free. The same brand also makes GREAT rice chips. Love them!..... With the eggs, you can also beat them in a bowl over a water bath on the stove until they are warm- like when making a swiss meringue.

DebE,
The only brand I've ever encountered in this country is Rice Dream, so I'm not sure if other brands even exist, but if they do, I have a hunch that this also applies to them, because the commercial production method is typically based on an enzymatic process (malting) that gives the rice milk a natural sweetness. IOW, malting splits the carbohydrates into sugars, so that additional sweeteners are not required.
That's also the problem with most conventional breakfast cereals — they're malted, to make them taste sweeter. And of course, the only grain that can be malted, is barley (a source of gluten). Manufacturers discovered that they can malt other grains, if they start the malting process with barley malt. So with rice dream, barley malt is used to start the malting process for brown rice, and then they try to remove the barley during the processing.
