I don't know if Kroger grocery store is a nation wide grocery store but this is one of the stores that we have here it is like Albertsons, I went in the other day to buy some Pamela cookies and they redecorated the natural foods section to include freezer section of natural foods including gluten free Kinninick breads including the gluten-free English muffins, pizza crust, sandwhich breads and also Amy's full line, Vann Waffles, I was excited to see this the prices not so excited to see they were just a little more maybe by a few cents than Whole Foods. I have not checked out the other big Krogers in town which is on the oppisti side of town, but Im hoping that they will have it too since we are about to move over to that side of town.

Great news! I'm heading to Kroger today and will check to see if they've added those to mine! I hope so because the Whole Foods is much further away and has an awful parking lot to navigate with 3 little ones!

That is great news!! I will have to check out our Kroger. DS loves the Kinnikinnick pizza crusts and the only place in town that carries them is not nearly as close as Kroger and it is probably more expensive that Kroger too.

I will also check my Fred Meyer (Kroger). Now, if they would only have a good labeling policy with their brands... ;)

I did ask the cashier if they are remodeling all Kroger stores or if this was the only store to get remodeled I am sure they might be, but the cashier said that she had no idea. This Kroger is located in Arlington, Tx they had been working on it for quite some time and the other day I was in the mood for Pamela's gluten-free Ginger cookies I knew that they have them $1.00 more than Whole food but they are closer to me and I did not want to drive across town in the heat and wast gas for just a box of 9 cookies. I was excited to see that the natural food section was complete and with the full line of Kinninnick breads, I had discover the brand when I went to another very small healthfood store here looking for hamburger buns because I wanted hamburgers for dinner one night and the clerk suggested using the gluten-free English muffins. Much to my delight they tasted very normal and a little sweet, :P I fell in love instantly. so know I think that I will try the sandwhich bread Kroger had the brown and white breads :P And I hope that ya'lls Krogers will have this update for ya'll to enjoy.

Often, if a company/store is already doing business with a company (like Kinni), then its generally fairly easy to have them add your store to their list of distribution. Same with if they already use a brand, but don't carry a certain product of theirs that you would like, its easier to have them add it.

I think its wonderful that Kinni. is in more mainstream stores!

Its good too. I love bread to begin with and this is better than the Good for Life Bread that I have been buying for my sandwhiches.

Sadly, my Kroger doesn't carry it. I sent them a feedback email about it though! :)

dandelionmom, I'm sorry to hear that your Kroger does not carry this, I hope that it is not a test market type thing. Maybe they are waiting to remodel the stores so they can accomitdate the frezzer section. I mean they went all out new frezzers for the natural foods frozen meals and the rest of the store got rearranged, new look and everything, it would be a waste of money to do something like that.

WOW! Awesome! Our Kroger stores here in Denver are called King Soopers. There was actually an article in our local paper recently how they are going to expand their Premium Select brand to include a line of organic products. All I know is I saw a picture of Glutino Pretzels with the article and I jumped up and down for joy.

Our KS stores don't have a specific natural food section, it's all blended in with the mainstream foods, and I've been watching for the Glutino packages specifically (all the Glutino stuff we've tried has been good). I'll keep an eye out for Kinnickinnick!

Kroger is pretty nice here in Colorado here. Yes, Kroger is pretty much all over, they just go under different names... here in CO they are King Soopers. I generally shop at Safeway, as I like their layout a bit more, the "specialty" gluten-free food is more centralized. But then, Safeway is 0.4 miles from my house, and King Soopers(Kroger) is maybe 0.6 miles from my house. And the Safeway is on my way home... I love hitting the grocery store a few times a week, sometimes every day. Since I almost have to drive through its parking lot to get home, its not so bad.

A new Kroger has just opened about four miles from my house. It has a very large Natural Food section. I didn't see Kinnik. products, but I will look closer next time. I may ask the manager about it! I was all excited because they had my Ener-G pretzels :) ...those are just about the only "chip" type food I like. Chips, in general, are too greasy for me. Thanks for the info.! B)

I'm the same way even with gluten foods I really did not like a lot of junk foods except for Little Debbies Oatmeal cream pies :angry: Oatmeal Raisen cookies :angry: Brownies :angry: I really did not like anything else.

But I love the gluten-free Pamela's Ginger cookies and gluten-free Brownies :P

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
