gluten-free Triscuit Recipe?

I was thinking how nice it would be to have a gluten-free substitute for Triscuits. I'm guessing maybe brown rice flour would be one ingredient. Any ideas on getting the crisp texture and all that? I know it won't taste the same, but if it's crunchy and salted, I'll probably like it :)

That is the one thing I miss, Tricuits! There is something about the texture and flavor that I love with cheese and dips. I would love to know of an alternative.

gosh--thanks for reminding me how much i used to love triscuits and cheddar :) wow...i'd have no idea for a triscuit recipe! glutano has cracker bread that is somehow vaguely reminiscent of a triscuit...but even that's a stretch!

Me too, Jen. I used to just eat Triscuits with slices of cheddar cheese. Or Easy Cheese. Mmmm....

I am SALIVATING at the thought of that!

I told my husband the other day that most days, I really am "ok" with my diet---I cook great foods, make good lunches, specifically eat at places that cater to gluten-free needs.....

But then there are some days when you just want a darn TRISCUIT!

LOL Seems I hit a nerve!

I think I was putting peanut butter on them, as I recall. I think cheese too sometimes.

I haven't baked anything with buckwheat, but it is sorta on the heavy side, right? Maybe that can be added for texture. Then corn flour/meal for crunch? This might be all wishfull thinking, but who knows.

hmmm...ground sesame seeds? I'm not exactly sure why that comes to mind...

I have no idea but how about guinoa flakes. Mmm melted cheese.

Well, the soft cheese spread is easy to make. It's the Triscuit which is the tough one.

I think it needs stuff that has a courser, crunchier texture. The ingredient choices I'm thinking of are:

rice bran

soy bran

millet flour

teff flour

corn flour

Here's some I know less about:

garbanzo flour

fava bean flour

quinoa flour

Anyone have experience with these or other ingredients to help narrow down what might work best?

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
