Need A Good Cracker Recipe!


mommyhugz

Recommended Posts

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

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:

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
