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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
