Problems with Kinnikinnick


Dreamcherub

Recommended Posts

Dreamcherub Newbie

Hi guys, so I don't know about anyone else, but I have a lot of problems with the brand Kinnikinnick. I've never heard of other people having a problem with it, but for whatever reason, I can't eat it-which sucks because they're the only brand i know that makes graham crackers)

So, I've tried Kinnikinnick on five seperate occasions, all different products. I've had their bread, their cinnamon sugar donuts, animal crackers, graham crackers and their vanilla cake. Each time I tried the product (whether to see if i might still have the same reaction or I wasn't paying enough attention to the box to tell it was the same brand) I would get a foggy mind, upset stomach, bone cramping, my heart would race, i felt terrible and my panic attacks sparked like mad, causing me to go into a frantic state of feeling sick and completely emotional and upset. It is literally one of the worst feelings ever. I don't have any other intolerances other than lactose and it has never given me a reaction like what I just described. So, i was wondering if anyone else had similar experiences with the brand or if there's something else I should be looking out for.

Never had a problem with that brand.

are you able to eat other brands of cake, donuts, etc?  maybe it's the gums or some other ingredient that is common to them all?

Kinnikinnick uses pea starch in the flour blend and other products.  The company has said in the past that it is completely gluten free and doesn't even allow employees to bring gluten foods into the workplace.

Keep a food journal to help track down any other food intolerances you might have.

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.  Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you.  Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet?   It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet.  Gluten containing products are required to be enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified.  So we have to buy our own vitamin supplements.   Glad to be of help.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant.  I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

      A gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy.  Biopsies would be taken to be examined microscopically.  Do your anti-rejection medications cause digestive problems?

      Thank you Knitty Kitty, what type of doctor would diagnose Barrett’s esophagus? What is involved in the testing? Thanks!

      @Ginger38,  Are you taking a B Complex vitamin?  Vitamin D?  Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.
