Anyone Know Of gluten-free Swedish-style "knacke" Crackers?

Last month I was in Stockholm, just a week or two after I started eating gluten-free, and was amazed to find so many gluten-free products, clearly labeled and even set aside on a gluten-free shelf in a neighborhood supermarket. Among the great finds was a gluten free "knackebrod" (they're a kind of thick, crisp cracker similar to the Wasa crackers that we have in supermarkets here). I've looked all over the shopping sources on this site and elsewhere, but can't find any gluten free crackers that are similar. Anyone know of any here in the US?

By the way, awareness of gluten sensitivity in Sweden, or at least Stockholm, was pretty high. In one seafood restaurant, after asking the waiter whether a dish I wanted to order had gluten in it, he immediately responded that it didn't; then he came back to the table in a little while with a plate of gluten-free toast for me to eat while my friends ate the other bread!

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      Do the skin care products that give you a rash list wheat as an ingredient or are you assuming from your reaction that they contain gluten? It is possible that not only do you have celiac disease, which is not an allergy but an autoimmune disorder, but that you also have a wheat allergy.

      Thank you, I’m very happy to be here!! Yes, lately I get rashes and itching when I accidentally use topical skin products with gluten in them. I got a bad rash around my hairline after unknowingly using glutenous hairspray, and a near-full-body rash with a sea salt spray that I guess I rinsed off insufficiently in the shower. Neither looked like typical dermatitis herpetiformis to me based on the posts I’ve read here—both were just large patches, red and slightly raised, with no blisters to speak of. At least yet. The sea salt spray was used yesterday and I noticed the itching this morning, with the rash forming obviously by this afternoon and evening.

      Thanks so much for your thorough reply! I was able to schedule with the local pediatric gastroenterologist who specializes in celiac but we have to wait 3 months to see her.

      Sorry, meant to type "or dermatitis herpetiformis for short". What? Every time I try it, the abbreviation for this skin condition is converted to the full length term. I'm trying to type "D" followed by "H".

      Welcome to the forum, allis! By "skin response to gluten products" are you saying you develop a rash when you use lotions, creams, shampoos, etc. that contain gluten? One of the classical symptoms of celiac disease is a skin rash known as dermatitis herpetiformis or "dermatitis herpetiformis" for short. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. It has a distinct appearance. It has little blisters or pustules in the bumps. Does this sound like what you experience? Is so, it might be possible to get a punch biopsy done when you are having an outbreak. This would be an alternative to eating gluten. If your skin biopsy was positive for dermatitis herpetiformis you could be diagnosed with celiac disease on that basis alone. Apart from that, I know of no other way to get a diagnosis apart from returning to eating gluten for a period of weeks.
