Need A Good Cracker Recipe!

Hi! My son (age 3) was diagnosed with autism, and I've been trying to educate myself about gluten and casein-free foods.

A problem I have is that my son LOVES his crackers, but the ones in the stores are so expensive. Can you recommend a good cracker recipe I can make at home? He likes the cheesy crackers, graham crackers and Ritz to give you an idea of his tatesbuds.

I appreciate any help... This is pretty overwhelming to take in and completely adjust our food lifestyle :(

Thanks!

Heather

Just wanted to welcome you to the board!

I don't have a good cracker recipe....but I'm sure someone on here will chime in. Also, try a search on the forum...you never know what you will find!

I think Miss Roben's has some pre-made mixes to bake your own crackers. You might try some of hers.

Good luck, and we are happy to have you on the board. Let us know what we can do to help....we know it can --- and is --- overwhelming!

Welcome to the board.

Bette Hagman's The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread has recipes for Rice-itz (fake Ritz), Mock Hi-Ho Crackers (I don't know what those are), Sesame Wafers, Cheese Nips, and Graham Crackers (pgs 252-258). The graham crackers were pretty good...but use less cinnamon. She wants you to use too much.

At the end of the cookbook is a list of her other cookbooks with cracker recipes.

from the GFG Cooks Fast & Healthy

Cheese crackers (rice) pg. 203

Onion crackers (bean & rice) pg. 202

Rice-free Graham crackers (bean) pg. 99

from More from the GFG

Cheese crisps (rice) pg. 188

Corn chips (rice) pg. 186

Italian cheese straws (rice) pg. 187

Mock Graham crackers (rice) pg. 87

Pecan wafers (rice) pg. 185

Sesame thins (rice) pg. 184

from The GFG: Living Well Without Wheat

Cheese sticks (rice) pg. 121

Here's a link to a few recipes for gluten-free crackers, including Mock Goldfish crackers.

Disclaimer: of all these recipes, I have only made the GFG Bakes Bread Graham crackers. I can't tell you how any of the others taste. The GFG Graham crackers were okay, but I felt she asked for too much cinnamon.

I guess you'll have to take a trip to the library. Let us know how they turn out.

Here's a link to the recipe I use. It's modified from the Top Secret Recipe site, using Pamela's Baking and Pancake mix as the flour substitute.

Stay away from the cheese cracker recipes. My daughter has autism, too. That's the only reason I'm baking gluten-free (we don't have Celiac). Your son's food must also be CASEIN-free (dairy-free). No cheese, milk, ice cream, etc.

Starting this diet IS overwhelming, but the folks on this board have been very helpful.

Oh, GEEEZZZ! I didn't read the whole post, cheese crackers jumped out at me! You already know about casein! Sorry, just trying to help. :rolleyes:

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      By MelissaClinPsyD · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response kitty that is helpful to hold in mind. I am also doing a review on lived experiences of coeliac disease so your blog would be incredibly valuable for me to review, please can I have the link to it?

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Shining My Light, Yes, celiac is spelled differently in Great Britain.  Yes, please do consider us as part of your support circle.   I had a serious Vitamin D deficiency, too.  I learned Vitamin D acts as a hormone when at levels between 78-100 nmol/L.  Mine was in the single digits.  I had been in declining health for years without answers.  I had developed hormone problems and clinical depression among other symptoms.  I corrected my Vitamin D deficiency with high doses to get my level up quickly.  Yes, it's safe.  Here's some studies done on high dose Vitamin D. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34737019/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39125420/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35470105/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30611908/ My Vitamin D deficiency was just the tip of the deficiency iceberg.  I was deficient in the B vitamins, too.  Celiac Malabsorption affects all the vitamins and minerals, not just one.  Here are some articles about how the B vitamins and even Vitamin D help lower anxiety... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33848753/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156551/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35851507/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35851507/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      @trents I’m pretty sure what I’m left with when separating celiac to other causes is my 10% being a virus. The one I had about 3 weeks before taking this TTG test. Everything I’ve read says type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis and some viruses are what could cause the elevation. The other blood tests I had I can compare things against.  I’m going to give your article a thorough read. My support in my circle is very small at the moment.  @knitty kitty I think before EGD I would like to do the DNA test. I’m going to start keeping a better journal also.  I’ve read a crazy amount of these “articles” - these two I’ve not seen. Some articles spell celiac differently. Thank you for sharing! I’m gonna dive into those.   I started seeing the functional medicine doctors from fluctuations in my hormones and major anxiety. Recently I realize it’s mostly health anxiety also so this is more challenging to depict real from imaginary thus all the research and the back and forth. I know anxiety to be a common symptom in perimenopause. I’ve fought it my whole life however. Likely due to lots of different trauma but seeing her was my last ditch effort to try something to avoid SSRIs, HRT, etc. She told me not to blame everything on my hormones when there could be an underlying problem, so she ran some tests to see if anything stood out. The TGG tests stood out.  I do find it very interesting now that I think about it that I don’t desire bread, pasta and pizza. Sometimes yes, but mostly no. I guess I didn’t give that much thought. Also didn’t realize that those foods do contain more gluten than the tortillas and cake/baked goods. About 3 months ago I started ordering meal kits to make dinner easier. I went back over the menus that I picked. I have probably had bread and pasta a hand full of times over the last couple months prior to having that blood test. We used to get pizza every Friday and stopped doing that also. I’m all fairness about 2 months leading up to these blood tests I had less gluten containing foods than I thought.    I’ve been praying for wisdom. Thankful to find some counsel from people who I believe have dove harder into this than most doctors have. Thanks for all the advice. It’s appreciated more than you know. 💕

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @knitty kitty My whole family has migraines and I started getting them at age 19, so I'm not sure mine are related to gluten, although I do feel like obviously the more inflamed my whole system is, the more likely I am to suffer from more of these things.

      @Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency.  I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate.  These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines.  I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens.  It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress!
