Gluten Free Rice Crackers

One of the first gluten free snacks I discovered just after my diagnosis with celiac disease was gluten free rice crackers. Keep in mind that rice crackers can be dangerous territory for people on a gluten free diet, because rice crackers made in an Asian style, or imported from Asia, are often flavored with soy sauce. As you must already know by now, soy sauce usually contains wheat.

There are many varieties of gluten free rice crackers available. We like the very thin, delicate ones. These are great for use with dips like salsa or hummus. Sometimes we take them on trips and have often eaten gf rice crackers on an airplane.

Listed below are some varieties of gluten free rice crackers you might find interesting.

Gluten Free Licorice

I've always loved the flavor of licorice. Whether it was the somewhat weaker flavor of licorice twists, or the more powerful licorice flavor in hard candy form, I just love it and it seems to soothe my cranky gut.

Unfortunately a very high percentage of the licorice products you see for sale in most places contains wheat, and so it is off limits to those of us with celiac disease. I have come across some brands of gluten free licorice in gourmet products and also candies from Europe and Australia.

If you miss the flavor of licorice you might find the following search results very helpful:

Welcome to Celiac Snacks!

Hello and thank you for visiting Celiac Snacks. This website was created for a very specific reason, to help you find gluten free snacks.

I know how difficult it can be to find suitable snacks for the gluten free diet because I have celiac disease, and I've been eating gluten free for well over ten years now.

From time to time I'll be blogging about snacks I've tried, and your comments and suggestions will certainly be welcome. I'll also be making some pages using software that can check prices and availability of various gluten free items on demand, so that you get current information on each visit no matter how old a page or post might be.

As a known, practicing computer geek I have an innate need for snacks - it helps when you are writing code or designing pages.

I hope you find this site useful, interesting, or at least pleasant to look at.

And please remember that if you have celiac disease you should always read the ingredients!

Steve Rider
