Glutino Crackers

I just tried the Glutino "Ritz style" crackers and they are awesome!!! Other than rice crackers, this is the 1st gluten free cracker I like. They refer to them as their "Ritz" style cracker but I think they taste more like a Saltine. Actually if you let it linger on your tastebuds for a second after you finish chewing it tastes exactly like a Saltine. They were so good I kept popping them in my mouth, and then my hubby tried one and said, "yknow what they taste like?" I stopped for a second and went OMG, they're a Saltine!!

I think they also have a flax seed variety and some sort of veggie flavor.

WOO HOO!! I'm so excited :lol:

I was not much of a bread person before anyway - but LOVE crackers. I haven't found a single thing that I like yet and am so excited to try something new!!!

You made my day :)

wolfie Enthusiast

Yes!! They are very good!!! I like to eat them with cheddar cheese slices on them! :)

We also eat the Diamond Nut Thins, but they aren't nearly as good as these crackers. A little pricey, but worth every penny!

Thanks for the info. My son loves Ritz crackers. As long a they look like a Ritz and taste ok, he shouldn't really notice the difference. (He's only 3.) I haven't tried a lot of Glutino products yet, but I will for sure try these.

I bought these a month ago and I was impressed! I actually just ate a few just a couple of minutes ago, I put some of the Laughing Cow spread on...yum!

I love those crackers! I only found them once and when I went back they didn't have them anymore. I travel a lot and I've looked for them in about 10 health food stores and I've never seen them again.

They also make Rusks which are like toast rounds. I really liked those as well and I can't find them. They are very crunchy and good with cheese or a spread on them.

I'm sure there are tons of good products out there and hopefully the selection offered locally will only get better.

I can only get them at the Gluten Free store in Dillsburg, I never have seen them anywhere else either. I do use Nut Thins as well, they are good with cheese. I haven't tried them with a spread yet though.

I found them at a store that isn't really near where I live at all so I was thinking I would order more from here:

Thanks Donna!! Good to know I can get them there. I'm not sure if my Whole Foods has them, but I think we may be coming to LI this weekend so I'll pick some more up. And actually I just bought those pretzels a few weeks ago at Dr. B Wells and am hooked. I keep the bag at my desk and snack on them pretty much every day.

Thanks again!!!

The pretzels are great!!! They taste like the real thing. I am also hooked.

Dr. B. Wells has the Glutino crackers too.

Dr. B. Wells has the Glutino crackers too.

That is where I got them :)

I love that place!!!

Remember the rainbow cookies at Earth Remedies? Well after much research I concluded that they were made by Cinderella Sweets (aka: Shabta Gourmet); and Dr. B Wells has them!!!!! If they aren't the same cookies, you sure wouldn't know it. They taste and look exactly the same. I bought 4 boxes last time.

Also if you haven't tried the graham crackers by The Grainless Baker, those are another MUST. Again, Dr. B Wells.

Glutino also makes a retangular shaped cracker that is similar to a club cracker, but not as sweet tasting. It's pretty good.

You got me hooked on those rainbow cookies. I miss them. I'll have to go to Dr. B Wells this weekend and get some. Thanks again Jillian

LOL!! Unless you are planning on getting other stuff, call first and see if they have the cookies. They don't always have them. I'm eating some of the graham crackers now. Soooo good!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
