Hi all, I just found this on the Kinnikinnick website and thought some of you who order gluten-free food from them might be intereseted. It's a generic letter to grocery store managers that tells them why they should consider selling the kinnikinnick products in their stores. There is room on the letter as well for you to include your comments/suggestion.

It's a easy way to get your gluten-free products locally.

Cheers!

Oooh! I just ordered some stuff from them. Everyone here tells me it's good stuff, but I'm still waiting for it. Can't wait...

If it's as good as they say, I'll definately tell my grocer!

Thanks!

My local health food store just started carrying these products..... I was so happy!!!!! I may send it to my local Kroger which is a lot closer than the health food store :D Thank you for posting this Kathleen.

I was looking for a place to mention this and since Kinnikinnick has come up, here's where I'll put it. I've found all their products consistently good in the 4 months since I've been trying them out (I know some people find their bread - bagel - bun products a little sweet, which they are, but they still taste good). But I know a lot of people are discouraged about not having good cakes anymore, especially for children's birthdays, and it's very difficult to make a decent gluten-free cake from scratch.

I ordered Kinnikinnick's chocolate cake mix and it was excellent. It baked up like a souffle, light and fluffy, and I served it to company with fresh whipped cream (just whip up some heavy cream & a little sugar, or not, in a bowl with an electric mixer) and strawberries. It was delicious -- like a grownup and better-tasting version of a Devil Dog! Especially good for gluten-free kids who might miss that. I also think it would be good served with whipped cream and raspberry jam. Anyway, I'll be ordering this mix a lot and thought people might want to know it's worth trying.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
