Blue Diamond Nut Thins

I bought a couple boxes of these crackers. They were in the gluten free area at my Meijer's. The box even says they are Proud sponsors of the Celiac Disease Foundation. Underneath the ingredients it says produced in a facility that also makes products containing: wheat, soy, pecans, and hazelnuts. What do you think of this? A little contradicting if you ask me.

I agree with you. Appears they would love to have Celiac's purchase their products but are not dedicated enough to truly cater to us.

w,

Which ones did you get? Are they good? They seem to have a lot of varieties. I'm getting really tired of all the crackers and such that have sesame seeds. Why does everything have to contain sesame seeds? Last week at the store I was debating between the Blue Diamond pecan thins and the Mary's Gone crackers. I got the latter, even though they were more expensive. Don't like them (sorry MG fans), way too sesame seedy.

BTW, the name always reminds me of the album "Ogdon's Nut Gone Flake" by The Small Faces. Itchycoo Park, anyone?

best regards, lm

I got the almond ones and the hazelnut ones. They have a light taste. I tried the almond ones. It is definitely a rice cracker. I couldn't taste the almonds. It took care of my salt craving anyway.

I bake gluten free rolls in a muffin tin, then slice thin and bake....you can put seasonings on them before baking. They are good with cheese and things like that.

These are my daughter Abby's favorite cracker, the almond nut thins and the cheese nut thins. She seems to eat them without any problems. We also love Glutino crackers, they are the most like a real ritz type of cracker.

What a great idea PV. Kind of like bagel chips? These gluten-free crackers are expensive and not very good. Actually, I think it's a stretch to even call them crackers.

I think that's just a CYA statement, at least they're honest about it. Chances are 99% of companies should slap that statement on their products but don't because they don't want to appear duplicitous.

While it might seem that Blue Diamond is trying to have their gluten free cake and eat it too with the sponsoring and CYA statements, the bottom line for me is they make a tasty cracker that stands about as much chance of being CC'ed as anything I have in my kitchen after my 2 daughters have mauraded through it. Just my 2 cents. :)

I like these crackers, the cheese ones are good and I get the almond to go with cheese which is a very tasty treat. I have not ever had a reaction with them. I also do buy other products which are processed in facilities as wheat, etc. I too can get CC from my own kitchen or anywhere else. It all does come down to personal preference.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
