I don't know if any of you have noticed, but in the one Safeway in Regina they have a fridge freezer by the bread section that has a bunch of Kinnikinnick products.

What I love is that a couple of times I have been lucky enough to catch it when it was on their Club card special. It actually ended up being cheaper than buying right from the company.

Just thought I'd give everyone's a heads up in case they didn't already know select Safeway locations do sell specific gluten-free. Kinnikinnick was definitely the last thing I expected to find there!

Safeway gluten-free stuff isn't cheap here and rarely is it on sale. But I'm used to Save-On Foods so I'm biased. I recently moved back down to southern Alberta and so no more Save-On for me! I guess I'll have to suck it up and go to Sobeys and Safeway again.

It's a good thing they have sales where you are.

here in BC, safeway also carries gluten free cereals, bob's red mill stuff, gluten-free frozen waffles and mi-del cookies. Times are changing!

Yeah they have a lot of the gluten-free Bob's red mill flours, also. An entire section of them. I just wish that ALL locations had the same kinds of foods! Sucks when you have to run around the city to the different Safeway stores just to find something that you're looking for.

I've never checked for waffles...which company of them?

I think that they are Nature Valley (???) At my safeway, the waffles are in the regular freezer section, not in the bakery section with the kinniwick (sp?) stuff. They are in a "special food" section not with glutenous waffles.

I find that Thrifty Foods here on Vancouver Island to be quite reasonabley priced for gluten-free products. I did some comparison shopping at my nearby Save-On-Foods and found them to be a bit pricier. I'm just happy to learn that quite a few of our normal products are actually gluten-free and it's not always necessary to purchase more expensive ones.

Some Sobey stores are getting really good. My sister asked at the one near her and they gave her a list of all the gluten free items in the store. I also noticed they are carrying a new company out of PEI that makes gluten free flours.

Thrifty Foods are way less expensive than our local health food store. The health food store is a good start for someone starting out on this journey like myself.

I get a few things at Safeway - check out their own brands for a gluten free list online - surprisingly there are quite a few products. As for Kinnikinick stuff, definitely cheaper than our health food store, and it goes on sale periodically here too (just isn't in the fliers).

Also - I was in our new expanded Shopper's Drug Mart the other day - they have quite a few gluten-free products - cereal, chips, 'granola' bars, etc. They carry Riceworks chips but they also have their own knock off brand that says gluten free on it - bought some but haven't tried them yet.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      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.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
