Looking For gluten-free Cheese Cracker Recommendations

Hi everyone,

I've been through a few gluten-free cheese cracker brands and haven't found any that my toddler likes yet (we've tried Back to Nature, Blue Diamond and Edwards and Son). I'm really hoping to find a tasty cracker before preschool starts because I know the other kids will be eating a lot of goldfish crackers, her favorite, and she will be very tempted. But perhaps it just doesn't exist.

The only alternative that's been a hit is Pirate Booty so far but I think she's getting tired of them.

I'm so stressed for how snack time will go. The rest of the class will be eating a communal snack brought in by a volunteer parent each week. Her preschool director said my daughter will just eat her own snack from home. I hope it doesn't end up being as traumatizing as it sounds. I get so sad for my little girl just thinking about it.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated (I'll take any words of encouragement too ;) ). Thanks!!

I think Glutino makes a cracker that is like a cheese-flavored Ritz cracker. Another great cracker line is Crunchmaster, which can be found with the regular crackers. There are several varieties (though I don't think there's a cheese one); however, they're VERY tasty...and perhaps you could send a plastic bag with some cheese slices for her to place on top of her crackers?

Is popcorn allowed in class? Air popped popcorn with coconut oil and nutritional yeast sprinkled on it is super yummy, nutritious and tastes cheesy for some reason. Of course, this assumes she can tolerate corn.

Interesting idea. I've never even heard of nutritional yeast. Where can I find it?

Wellaby's makes a gluten-free Cheese up cracker that tastes like a puffed Cheez it. I found it once in an obscure store and haven't found it again. If you are lucky enough to come across them trust me, buy them, they will be gobbled up.

These "cheese bites" from Schar are absolutely delicious:

Open Original Shared Link

Our grocery store carries the brand, but not these crackers. Strangely, I found them at our local drug store (Rite Aid) in their small (but apparently well stocked) gluten free section.

They are smaller than a cracker, but slightly larger than a goldfish. They are yummy.

My kids and other gluten-free kids we have over devour these: Open Original Shared Link I can't do dairy, so I've never tried them. But the entire box disappears when we have company. Their bread is also the best my kids have had, and my husband likes it too. (I can't eat it due to a brown rice intolerance, so I don't know what it tastes like.)

The Gluten Free Mall also carries them. Brand name is Grainless Baker.

My kids didn't like the Schar crackers. But I know others love them, so this is definitely a YMMV area! LOL!

Thanks everyone! I headed to the only gluten-free only market near me to see what they had in stock. Got a bag of Schar, which my daughter seems to like. I really wanted to find a local source for the Grainless Baker ones but have had no luck. I'm going to order some online.

My 8 year old loves the Glutino cheddar crackers.

SuperSlim makes Brown Rice Crisps which are tastey, and mostly organic, rice crackers that my kids like a lot. Most rice crackers aren't marketed as gluten-free but they are. Flavoured rice cakes are tastey too.

Could you ask the school to go healthier in their snacks? Goldfish crackers are on par with cheetos nutritionally; it's a shame they serve it to the kids... in school where they should teach healthy habits yet.

I totally understand your concern about your child not participating in shared snack - we're in the same boat. In the 1s and 2s classes at our daycare parents provide all food each day, but in the 3s room there is shared snack like you describe. Our son graduated to that room last week, and so far he's been fine. Not at all traumatized or upset like I worried he'd be!

The Glutino crackers are really tasty- we like the cheddar and original flavors best. Sometimes we spread them with cream cheese to make sandwiches. Other favorite lunch box items (in addition to fruits and veggies):

- Annie's Homegrown Cocoa & Vanilla Bunny Cookies

- Back To Nature Gluten Free Rice Thins Multi Seed Crackers

- Glutino pretzels (minis and sticks)

- Baybel cheeses

- Cheese sticks

- Applesauces

- Ham and cheese roll-ups

- Yogurt

- Van's frozen waffles

- Almond butter and jelly on Udi's whole grain or cinnamon raisin bread

- Annie's gummies

If you can find Sesemark Rice Thins, oh my, are they GOOD! They are gluten-free and so good that I used to eat them before I had to go gluten-free. My neighbor used to get them and every time I'd go to her house I would eat almost the whole package! I know they're not cheese crackers, but you could make them into cheese crackers by putting a thin slice of cheese on one, or in between two, then microwave. They will be cold at school of course, but melting the cheese will make the cheese stick to the cracker even when cold.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
