Great Suggestions!

Hello all --

I'm on Day 3 of a gluten free life!! So far, so good. Spent some $$ at the store the other day for a whole new pantry of food --- and thanks to suggestions here & from my sister (celiac for 2+ years) I had an excellent dinner & breakfast!

Had Tinkyada pasta - delish! - mixed it with tomato sauce & sauteed onions, squash & zuccini, YUM, tastes like normal pasta.

Then for breakfast I had the Kinnik sesame bagel - another YUM.

Thanks all... I'm off to a good start!

I love Kinickkinick Pancake and waffle mix I even have my husband eating them, beats mixing up

two dif. bowls and fry pans. I also like their english muffins I split mine in threes. I also split the

hamburger rolls in three's. Kinickkinick bread and bun mix is really good just have to mix it with

milk and water. The first day I tried the bun mix I made 5 rolls I ate the first one with butter then

another, and another, my husband asked me if I was going to eat all and I said I might they were

so good and so easy to make< I also like the kinickkinick sandwich bread for sandwiches and their

raisen bread is great toasted. I order on line and when I get my order I put it right in the freezer. We

do not have a store near us with Gluten Free Food, the closest one takes us over an hour to get to and

then they are out of the bread I want. I also order my cereal Enviro-Kids Peanut Butter Cereal and

The Enviro-Kids Bars. on line I can get Zone Bars at Wal-Mart The Strawberry and the Chocolate Graham are the only ones gluten free. My problem is I stay hungry all the time. Does anyone else have this problem?

Very good attitude you have. See there are good things you can still have: ) I love Tinkyada and Kinnikinnick

We LOVE Tinky pasta in our home!! But, not for spaghetti - we use the Barilla Corn Spaghetti - and it's Yum-O!!

The Kinn... Maple Donuts are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO yummy. And, I'm not even a donut lover. As far as their muffins go... who in the world would even KNOW they were gluten-free?? =) =) They are THAT good! I've had the chocolate chip and the carrot.... MmMmmmmMMM!!!

Do you all buy right from the kinnickinnick online store or from another online store? I just know they're kind of 'spensive...i love the english muffins though!

My local A&P supermarket stocks them for me. They have a whole section of gluten-free stuff in the frozen section.

I have discovered a magic trick regarding the engligh muffins. You keep them frozen, and when you want want, take it out, put it in the microwave for 50 seconds. Take it out, turn it over, and let it sit for 1 - 2 minutes. Then slice it in half, toast it, put whatever you want on it (I do ham and cheese), then microwave it again for 10 seconds.

Presto! It's magic! The best english muffin you have ever tasted, even beats the gluten crap!

I'm lucky enough to have a grocery store (Omni Foods Market) about 5 minutes from me which carries the Kinnick brand... and, regarding the muffins -- YUM, delish. Put one in the microwave for 30 seconds & ate warm... mmm, now I'm hungry.

I'm thinking about ordering the Kinnick Bagels (and probably the donuts - they sound great!) online - and just keeping in the freezer. Anyone else do that? Is there a significant cost difference?

A new find (you all probably knew about this) -- LaraBars! Especially Apple Pie! Just ordered a case - high in protein & totally natural, an excellent treat.

Happy Friday!

(will be on the lookout for Barilla corn spaghetti too - thanks!)

I found the Barilla Corn Spaghetti at a Hy-Vee Grocery Store. They are in the Midwest, but I'm not sure where else.

I buy most of my Kinnikinnick stuff at Wild Oats, but they don't stock the Maple Donuts, so I special order those once in a while. =)

dionnek Enthusiast

I just bought the chocolate iced doughnuts (yum!) and the english muffins (haven't tried yet). Now I can't wait to get home and have an english muffin!

When you order from Kinnikinnick, doyou order straight from them or some other site? I know they have to be frozen, so I guess that is an issue with shipping?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD.   You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD.   You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate).  A magnesium glycinate is fine, too.  Doctor's Best is a good brand.  Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect.   Be sure to take the B Complex.  The Benfotiamine and TTFD will need the other B vitamins.

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks  
    • knitty kitty
      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
