Casabe Rainforest Crackers - Still Available?

Recommended Posts

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.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
