Saltines Or Another Substitute?

I found a toffee recipe I want to make that involves putting a layer of saltines on a baking pan and covering it with toffee. Open Original Shared Link

I thought about using the salted pecan nut thins, but the square shape is pretty important to the candy, because the toffee would just stick to the baking pan otherwise.

Any ideas?

Ener-g makes a rectangular cracker--

In my opinion, the best tasting gluten-free crackers are Glutino, but those are round.

Glutino makes a Table Cracker that is just like Ener-G's rectangler crackers.

Also Dr Shar's has table crackers and snack crackers that are like Glutino and Ener-G's and they are available in the Gluten Free Mall.

Until recently I have used Glutino, and saw some Dr. Schar crackers and purchased them. They were excellent....the closest to Saltines that you will find in my opinion.

Thanks, all! Will try to track down the Dr Schar ones locally, but if I can't find them I think I'll use the Glutino ritz crackers and just break them in half, etc, to fill up the sheet.

I realize this is late in posting, but in case it might help at all for future use, I agree that Schar is the best. The table crackers are most like saltines but they also have some called "snack crackers" that would work, but they are a little different. If you can't find them locally, vitacost.com carries them.

I have found a recipe for "ritz" crackers, but IMHO it's the butter you add that makes it like Ritz. I think it would work, if you haven't found a cracker. I never though of using it for those bars...which I used to make pre gluten-free. Search it here...I think I saw it on this site.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      For years, I have dealt with various gluten related symptoms like stomach pains, bloating, IBS-C "ish" digestive issues, low iron, low Vit D, joint pains, brain fog, and more. I finally got a double scope and stomach looks clear, but I have some lymphocytosis of the duodenum. I am wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone, where I have not shown celiac red flags in bloodwork IGA tests. WIll be following up soon with GI Dr, but so far, my symptoms are intermittent. I go back and forth with gluten-free diet (especially this past year.... did two tests where the stomach pains I had went away without gluten in diet. HOWEVER, I added it back a third time and I didn't get the pains)   Anyway, I am so confused and scared to eat anything now because I recently had a few bites of a yeasty donut and I immediately got so sick. Any thoughts??

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.
