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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
