Are There Any Healthy, Dry Snacks?

I am a texture person and sometimes all I want is something dry and salty. I really don't like to eat so when I get really hungry and I know I have to eat I can always get something dry and salty down. The issue is that it seems like all the dry, salty stuff is just empty calories. I have nuts sometimes but they still don't quite fit the craving. I usually end up eating potato chips or tortilla chips and they are exactly what I want.

Are there any dry, salty snacks that have some nutritional value? I think most of this stuff is just carbs and not very good for you, but I would like to eat a healthy snack if possible.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure about salty snacks, I usually stick to Lays reg chips for that. How about dried fruit? I love dried pineapple, there are dried bananas, apricots, etc. There are the little ricecake snacks.

Not a lot of nutrition, but I love corn nuts.

If your not allergic to soy, there are soy crisps that are good. Different flavors, some are gluten-free, you have to check, I dont have the list right now. I have not had a problem with them.

Roberts American Gourmet makes a few snack foods that are healthier then potatoe chips. This is what their web site says about them:

Are your snacks gluten-free, why doesn

Lundberg makes some excellent rice chips, not at all like a rice cake more like a tortilla chip. My favorites are the Pico de Gallo and the honey mustard. They say gluten-free right on the bag and I have never had a cross contamination issue with them. I wouldn't say they are great for you but they are great with dips and cheeses.

You could make your own trailmix. Nuts, gluten-free pretzels, dried fruit, and whatever else you feel like adding. I am completely addicted to tortilla chips for as long as I have been gluten-free, so I know how you feel.

I just picked up a bag of Mrs. May's all natural Cashew Crunch at my Super Walmart (about $2.50 for a 5.5 oz bag). It says No cholesterol, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, wheat free and no preservatives. Ingredients include: cashews, sesame seeds, rice malt, evaporated cane juice and sea salt. Can't comment on taste yet as I haven't opened them yet (waiting till I start the elimination diet on Thursday), but they look good!

I love Mrs. May's! They weren't gluten free for a whle. They were using rice malt that wasn't gluten-free so they took gluten-free off the bags. I'm so excited that they are gluten-free again! Yeah! That stuff is the best.

they ( i'm not sure who, but you can find it at any normal store near the chip section) make chips sorta like potatoe chips, but they are made from veggies, so veggie chips have to have more nutrition... right ;)

I second this. I'm a quantity person, so I get the air-popped, no butter, no oil kind and eat the whole bag. There's just something so appealing to me about being able to eat from a bowl twice the size of my head for only 220 calories.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
