Favorite gluten-free Cracker?

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!

IrishHeart Veteran

Didn't I say Addy will be right here...! look at that.....and I did not even email her or anything!! it's like she just KNEW!!!!  :D

 

I would eat them, too ....but I am trying to lose weight. :ph34r: me gots a wee bit chubby after diagnosis.

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.

Adalaide Mentor

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.

Juliebove Rising Star

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!

SkyBlue4 Apprentice

Right now I'm addicted to Nabisco White Cheddar flavor Rice Thins.

These Van's crackers are YUMMY. Open Original Shared Link

 

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

IrishHeart Veteran

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

pricklypear1971 Community Regular

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!

darn it...now, I want crackers!! you people are killin  me....

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:

The sea salt ones are yummy too!

IrishHeart Veteran

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)

Addy, your $50 is in the mail... :lol:

Addy, your $50 is in the mail... :lol:

 

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.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms? 
    • Wheatwacked
      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.  
    • Samanthaeileen1
      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
