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.

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 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!!!

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!

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
