What Would Be A Good Substitute For This?


JennaQ

Recommended Posts

JennaQ Rookie

Whenever I get really sick, to the point where I can't possibly eat anything or I will throw up, or when I just feel that nauseous, for my entire life I have always just slowly chewed on some saltines and sipped some water. It was simple, and since I ate it slow, my body could grip onto it. No other cracker had those same "medicinal" qualities like that.

So now I am wondering, what am I to use now as a substitute? It was a combo of the crunch, the very bland flavor with the saltiness, that made it more appealing to a rejecting mouth to eat. What on earth could be a compatible cracker in these regards?

Thanks!

Lots of people seem to like the Glutino crackers as a sub for saltines.

Maybe others can give you more suggestions.

After my endoscopy I found Snyder's gluten-free pretzels to fit this bill.  And I actually like them better than the gluten variety.

You might try some rice crackers. I forget the brand we usually get, but they're round and come in little a plastic tray with several rows. I think they're called "brown rice snaps" or something. If I remember the brand name, I'll come back later and post it. The tamari seaweed kind are excellent (though definitely not the right choice for an upset stomach), and the plain ones are boring but crunchy and absorbent.

I second the snyders gluten-free pretzels.  I will eat them when I have an upset stomach.  They are also great dipped in things, but they have that snackable quality that I can deal with when I am ill.

I like Glutino pretzels more than Snyder's.  It could be that I have been eating the Glutino brand for 2-3 years before Snyder's came out.  I like Glutino products so much I bought stock in the company. :D

I have found the Snyder's gluten-free pretzels to be the best I have tasted.  They work good to use with dips, ham salad, chix salad, whatever.  They taste just like the regular wheat pretzels.  I think they are much better than the Glutino brand.

mommida, what is the symbol for Glutino? I found them listed as a product of AMF Brands, a privately held company.I would be interested in looking at their stock if they are publicly traded.

When my son or I have an upset stomach, we like rice Chex ( plain, no milk).

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"
