Vincent -- we have Wild Oats here -- haven't gone there because I'm afraid of the prices! Are they very expensive? I know that Kroger's organic section is pretty high -- but that's where we're buying from right now. I'm also afraid that if I go into Wild Oats that I'll spend a fortune! We also have (what I think is) the Whole Foods Market -- something like that. Just wanting to know how expensive it is compared to regular stuff. Kind of on a REALLY tight budget. . . Lynne

Its a mix. Some of the stuff, like the Panda Puffs are cheaper then Kroger, other stuff is more pricey. Its the only place around here htat carries some of the more special stuff. Like my wife loves the amartha cereal and thats the only place to get it. Some times my son loves the gluten-free Chicken Nuggest they carry, and thats the only place to get them. Plus they have a nice selection of gluten-free junk food, which Kroger realy does not have.

Just gotta know your prices, and shop around.

Only real complaint I have is the isles are way to narrow theres now place to push the stroler that toddler hands cant reach out and grab stuff.

We do not have a Whole Foods. Thier web site says we will get one soon, but its been saying that for over a year.

Ha! Definitely time for new pants! :lol::lol::lol:

Maybe if the other products do well, they'll realize that they should get the K-Toos as well. I haven't had them (like oreos, right?), but I'm sure I'll get there sooner or later. Enjoy the donuts!

ahhh, enjoy the donuts! I've found that ONE donut usually satisfies me now! My kid can usually only eat 1/2 a donut, so I cut them in half for her, good thing too since they are so pricey! My current fave (just had this morning) is the cinnamon sugar coated donuts! YUM!

Yep! They are rumored to be extremly good, but cant find them here LOL. I sure hope their gluten-free stuff sells well, its a very extensive selection now! I saw a shelf lable for "gluten-free Family Pack Prestels" but they were out of them. Would have gotten some if they were there though. Wife is looking for gluten-free prestles hehe.

I saw those, but before going gluten-free I had a real weakness for the cholate doughnuts at Dunkin Doughnuts, so I got these and I grabbed some Cininoman RASIN begals too, but I think they were enjoy life brand. Forget right now. (Yea I know big shock on the raisins! LOL) Also picked up some tinkyada pasta... still need but a colander. LOL saw one at Kroger for 12.99!!! It was filthy too like it been on the shelf for years, at that price I would not dobut it! Was small too, prbly only fit a 1/4 pound or so of pasta.

I took 2 of the doughnuts out and put them in baggies on the counter to thaw, and tossed rest in fridge. Figure can have one after diner and one tommorow, and take out more as needed.

Hi Vincent,

I saw gluten-free pretezels at the Turnip Truck in Nashville (on Woodland) the last time I was there. They had only the small packages of the seseame covered ones. It's been a couple of months or more, but that might be where your wife can find some.

Never heard of that place?

Becky6 Enthusiast

Actually ordering by the case is the way to go as they usually give you a 15% discount. And a case of the donuts is only 2 packages. So not too bad! Have you looked on the Kinnikinick site to see where they sell their products in your area?

It's on the corner of 10th and Woodland at 970 Woodland St. Phone: 650-3600

They are a very small market, but they have a few gluten-free items.

Yes and the only list wild oats. I think they said there was 6 in a case. But they siad there would be no discout for the case, it would be the shilfprice times number of pieces.

They make Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets??????? :D Okay, I'm going . . . I'm geting tired of Puffins, smoothies and junior mints for junk food!

Vincent, I didn't even read that you were from Nashville -- we get down that way every once in awhile -- Dave has some friends there that we visit. Next visit, I'll have to PM you so that my husband and I can meet up with your family and I can see that cutie Tymber in person! We're in Louisville, KY

I had to laugh about the narrow aisles -- I hated that when my kids were little -- I'd get to the checkout, and I'd have all this stuff -- expensive cereals, gummies, fruit roll-ups -- in my cart. I'd just look at them, and then give the stuff to the cashier with a sheepish look on my face and say "we really didn't want these -- I'm sorry." When Brandon was REALLY little, he used to sit and reach back into the cart -- I can't tell you how many times he poked holes through the meat packages if I put them on the top. It was really FUNNY in retrospect!!

At any rate, I feel a long trip to Wild Oats coming on . . . . :lol:

Talk to you guys soon . . . . Lynne :)

Lynne,

Yea, these:

Tymber likes them, but they are a bit spicier then I expected. Not hot, just a touch spicy. They make the normal Tyson chicken nuggguts seem bland! LOL

As for your Nashville trips... sounds good! :)

GO FOR THE CASE! They are sooooo good. You can always hide them in the cupboard and open them for special occasions. I ate way too many around Christmas and am waiting to order more until I get my weight back under control, but I will get more. They are extra yummy crushed up and mixed in with coconut sorbet.

Belle and I love those chicken nuggets!! Sorry about the 6 in a case! Any other places by you that would sell you a case and get a discount?

Acording to Kinikinicks website, they are the only ppl in Nashville that carrie thier products. :( Not seen thier stuff elsewhere, so I am forced to guess that is right.

Becky6 Enthusiast

That sucks!! Do you have any co-ops near you or a whole foods where you could request they sell them? Whold foods will give you a discount on cases. I contacted the Mpls Whole foods and she said she was working on geting Kinnikinick there and that some other cities already had them. So it is worth a shot!

Guest nini

Yeah, I was going to suggest that you go to other stores in your area (or call them) and request that they consider carrying Kinnickinick products. I just asked my local Publix about it, and the asst. manager was going to look into seeing if he could order them. It's worth it to ask, the worst they can say is NO!

Over a year ago whole foods annoicned they were comming to Nashville, but theres no sign of them yet. Thier site still says comming soon.

I guess I could ask at my Kroger, but realy not had good luck with them ordering anything. They can only order it if its in thier computer, and I doubt this will be. The nearest publics ia quite a hike so would not bother there. Maybe if my Astronomy Business does not work out I can open a gluten-free store LOL

Becky6 Enthusiast

seriously I have thought of opening a gluten-free store here! One that carries everything! Then I don't have to run to 5 different stores to get what I need!!!

Well, I get most of what we need from Kroger (normal food store), so its not bad. If Wholefoods ever comes to town that could make things a bit nicer. :D

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!
    • NanceK
      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.
