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:

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
