I'm a newbie to the forums as well as my diagnosis (1 month now). Celiac.com has been a life saver for me, so first of all THANKS!!!! for this site.

So, my question: Is there a saltine cracker that is gluten free? I've tried a couple of crackers, but they are pretty bland.

Thanks in advance for any input!!

I have never seen a saltine like cracker, but Glutino crackers are pretty good. They're more like a Ritz and come in various flavors.

Oh, where are my manners...Welcome! :D

Hello and welcome!

I have tried a few brands of crackers (some are just awful :P ) and I have to agree with Lisa--the Glutinos are the best so far.

Hub's aunt was here for Christmas Eve and ate them with cheese, etc. and said "What kind of crackers are these? I like them a LOT!" :)

I told her the name and said, "You know they are gluten-free, right?" (she knows I have Celiac) and she said, "That's okay--now, where can I get them??"

:)

Yuck, I hate glutino crackers. I found Schar table crackers and they are almost like a cross between a butter cracker and a saltine. They do crumble easy and don't have a lot of salt on them. That aside, they work good for cheese and crackers and I use them as cracker crumbs for breading shrimp and fish. YUMMY!

:lol:

well, there you are. To each her own, I guess.

Frankly, NONE of the crackers taste that great to me, I just used the lesser of all evils when I needed to serve some cheese to guests. :lol:

I found recipes for three different crackers on www.glutenfreeonashoestring.com

They look good but I haven't made them yet. There is a ritz type, saltine and a cheese. I was thinking I would make them this weekend.

Anyone made them yet?

I prefer the Glutino also. :) The Schars are too crumbly -- if you try to spread anything on them they disintegrate. :( I think they'd be good if you need crumbs for anything though.

The Crunchmaster are also good, but I like those plain. If it's cheese and crackers that I want then I go with Glutino.

I forgot about those. I love them! It is easy to down a whole box in one sitting if I'm not paying attention.

As I haven't found any commercial crackers I like I make my own simply by using some gluten-free pizza dough, rolling it very thin, drizzle with good olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary and fleur de sel and voila! Break into shards after baking. I have only tried this with homemade dough so cannot say whether it works with bought pizza crust mixes - don't see why not! By making my own I control what goes into them. Not only that but you can easily make the flavours you want. Last time I added flaxseed, too.

Ditto - the less salt sea salts are my fave. Same with those dang Crunchmaster 3 cheese!

It really is a matter of preference, but like some I do not like the Glutino crackers, but love the Schar brand. They do crumble if you are not careful. I usually cut some cheese up and just set it on top so it's not really an issue. But if you were going to use a spread you probably should use another brand. I like Crunchmasters too but that is not like a saltine at all.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug?

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
