Can anyone recommend a favorite gluten-free cracker? Preferably something non-celiacs will enjoy too.

Lots of non- gluten-free people serve these. They are much cheaper at SAMs Club or Costco. My husbands company serves them at functions.

Crunchmaster's Sea Salt crackers. (and there are other flavors, too!)

 

My aunt and 2 best  friends ( all are  WEs--wheat eaters) love love love them and eat them regularly 

after having them at my house.

 

Addy loves the Breton crackers, but she will tell you all about it shortly...... :D

 

P.S. (Good lawd, I just approved this post and answered it, quickly, but Karen beat me to it...

how do you do that, K?) LOL

Breton. BRETON!!!!

 

Omg... they're just like regular, gluteny crackers. Either flavor is awesome, but right now the only flavor I can get locally is the herb ones. I have had a chance to try the flax ones though and they are equally awesome.

 

Great, now I have to open a new box because I finished one yesterday. I'm going to get so fat since they started making these. :ph34r: Also, L2 loves these also, so I'm not in bad company at all. B)  (And I think Karen probably snuck in because crackers are a very important topic, not to be trifled with so everyone rushed right over!)

Indeed! This is a most important discussion! My gluten eating hub loved those plain Breton ones!

My husband keeps asking for a cracker if I eat them while he's home. I always act like I'm terribly put out when I give him one.

I second (third?) the Crunchmaster sea salt crackers. Even my fussy non-celiac kids like them.

I guess I could add that I also do like Crunchmaster crackers. They're good, they're just not my favorite.

Mary's Gone Crackers? Pretty good.

I love the Van's cheese cracker - tastes like goldfish!!!! Hubs and kid (ge's) eat them.

Crunch master Italian cheese is pretty good.

I like the Diamond Almond crackers - sea salt.

Found a "water cracker" at whole foods that was wonderfully flat and crunchy for cheeses. Of course, cant remember the name...

I really like the Diamond Nut Thins- Pecan crackers.  Really good with peanut butter.

Scharr.  Taste just like Ritz.  Only problem is that they crumble easily.  I also had a recipe to make crackers and they had a little grated onion in them.  Sorry, I don't think I have that cookbook any more  But they were really good!

I just got a box and…well…now I'm short one box.  :D

Those Van's cheese thingers are very very bad (for thigh growth...that is! )

I inhaled an entire box one day and realized they are very dangerous to have around. :D

I know. The van's cheese crackers taste like goldfish and the gluten-free goldfish taste like Cheetos.

Funny.

BRETON!!!! I am with Addy on this. All others I have tried taste plastic and artificial. Breton crackers are light and buttery and taste every bit as good as their counterparts. In fact, other than homemade, they are the only ones I will eat. GO, BRETON!

If you email Breton they'll tell you where you can buy them locally. They boxes aren't huge, there are only 720 calories if you inhale the whole box which totally leaves room for a whole other meal and maybe even gelato. Not that I have a box on my desk or anything. :ph34r:

Now I am laughing because you can't say we don't know how to answer a simple question like "what's your favorite....."

 

we nailed it.

 

OP...Rosies   ...still with us? how'd we do?? :lol:

I'd like to point out that I'm the one who is in the best company on this. I don't think anyone is going to dispute who has the best taste around here, and it's just chance that I happen to be on board with her on this one.  B)

Well, since that obviously isn't enough to send a Christmas package back over the border I guess I'll have to spend it all on crackers. You'll make me fat! :P

If you're talking about a cracker that tastes like a saltine then my vote is hands down Glutino Table Crackers.

      New Study Reveals Hidden Gut Damage in Celiac Disease—Even Without Gluten (+Video)

      After reading the study on Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease I stopped eating processed foods that have milk as an ingredient. Though Gluten Free, "in a fraction of coeliac patients, Cows Milk protein challenge may induce an inflammatory reaction of the same magnitude, as did gluten challenge". After three months my lower belly...

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting. Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time? I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt. Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives. An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis o...

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Cristiana asks a very relevant question. What looks normal to the naked eye may not look normal under the microscope.
