Casabe Rainforest Crackers - Still Available?

Hi,

Are Casabe Rainforest Crackers manufactured by Fortitude Brands still available for purchase in the U.S.? These crackers are made from cassava, or yuca, root.

Thanks!

Yes I saw two varieties of the Casabe Rainforest Crackers last week at a Shaw's Supermarket (owned by Albertsons) in Newburyport, MA. I also recall seeing them at Wholefoods in Boston, MA too. They are rather good IMHO.

i don't know about the entire US but my local store can not get them anymore... some problem with the distributors in NY i think

Yes, I just ate some of those! I think I found them at Whole Foods.

I'm located in the greater Boston area of Massachusetts. In which Shaws Supermarket did you see them? Wonder which Whole Foods Markets in Mass. carry them, too... I'm looking forward to trying them.

Thanks again, everyone! :)

I saw them at Shaw's in North Beverly on Dodge Street and Whole foods in Swampscott.

We should start a gluten-free product barter system. "I'll get you Casabe crackers if you get me (insert favorite gluten-free food here)"

I saw them at the Shaw's in Newburyport (2 varieties/flavors), and I'm pretty sure at the Whole Foods on Cambridge Street (Charles River Plaza - Beacon Hill).

That's a good idea. It seems I'm always getting hooked on products that local stores discontinue. I'm sure others experience the same problem. Any thoughts on initiating a barter system?

Thanks for the info!

Hi,

Last Friday I stopped by the Whole Foods Market on Cambridge Street. No Casabe crackers. :( I expect to receive a call from the manager about availability of these elusive crackers. I'll make sure to post an update.

So does that mean they're not available online? Guess I'll never find them out here in the sticks :(

Hmmm..don't know. Try this link:Open Original Shared Link

When I clicked on the Fortitude Brands link, the connection timed out. :(

I'd definitely be interested in a barter system, but I don't know how it would work since we're all over the place. Let's put our heads together on this. :rolleyes:

I've got more gluten-free beer than I know what to do with! Once it became available, EVERYONE started gifting me with it! :P

I would love to get my hands on these crackers. I can't eat corn or rice (as well as no gluten) so I've given up on anything resembling bread products. Crackers would be sooo nice.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
