Kinnikinnick English Muffins

I just tried the Kinnikinnick English Muffins and they are VERY good. And big. Most gluten-free bread products are usually on the small size compared to regular bread products, but these are generously sized. :)

I just said to myself yesterday I'm done with gluten free breads because I haven't found one yet that I can stomach. They are either gritty, smell awful, or are just plain dry and nasty (Glutino Sesame bagels? ackkk) I've tried every one I can find here and also made my own but it didn't rise so it was gross. We don't have Rudi's here (so everyone can save their fingers from typing that I should try it LOL just being considerate!!)

But.... now that you said this I may have to do one more try and see if I can find the Kinni* English Muffins.

I'll try anything once!!

Thanks for the update

Have you tried Grainless Baker or Udi's? Also keep in mind that almost all our breads and buns etc need to be toasted or microwaved for the best taste and texture.

I usually get the Hamburger Bun, but grabbed the English Muffins by mistake. They actually tasted pretty much the same. Though I think I like the texture of the Hamburger buns better.

I had an english muffin...gosh, I can't remember the name. It was in a cardboard box with no top, just like non gluten-free english muffins are. I think the variety I had was a green box and had flax in it. They weren't bad. Definately had to toast them as the middle was a bit gummy w/o toasting. But overall, very good. (MMM, now I wish I had some...those sound good right now!Guess I have to add it to my grocery list!)

I asked my grocer to start to carry Rudi's and they happily replied that we should have some in the next 2 weeks! I found it out of town, and LOVE it, but mostly as a grilled sandwich. Don't forget to ask where you buy your other gluten-free products! I doubt you are the only one, or they wouldn't have gr products! Rudi's also sells their product online. :D

I sure love this forum! I've saved so much money by checking out what people had to say about products on the forum before buying them. Gluten free eating is expensive and the more we can help each other out the better! Thanks a bunch!

That is so true. Gluten-free bread products may be called different things and be different shapes, but they all basically taste the same. Only the texture is different. We are just so desperate, that we'll be happy if only the texture isn't too horrible.

It's the lessor of two inedibles. lol

While the topic of gluten-free bread is still up I just have to say that after reading hundreds of posts on here about the famous Udi's (which I didn't think was available in Canada let alone anywhere near my small town of 1000 people), I found it 40 minutes away at Sobey's! I almost cried when I tasted it. After 10 sandwich-less years I ate 2 in a row. Even my boyfriend said it tasted similar to Wonderbread! If you can get your local grocer to bring it in I would advise it!

Being a recently-diagnosed Celiac (last week!) my husband and I immediately drove three hours to Edmonton to do some shopping. I was off gluten 5 months on my challenge so tried some pretty sordid products. When I tried the Kinnikinnick English muffins I despaired and cried. Then I tried Udi's last week and was awakened to new hope. It is amazing how desperate you can get (speaking for myself)! This week, however, I am making my own English muffins.

I live about 2 hours North East of Edmonton-- have you been to planet organic off Whyte Ave? Where do you usually do your shopping? Strathcona farmers market has amazing home made gluten free pies and other treats!

Yes - we have been to Planet Organic but I found prices there to be higher than at Ed's gluten-free. However, PO has a lot of yummy-looking snack things. And produce. I am trying to stay away from gluten-free snacks to prevent weight gain and am trying to make nearly everything myself. So, I am experimenting away!

We love the Strathcona Market. Our favourite sausages are from Irving Farm and they are gluten-free which is wonderful! I love my bangers and mash and can still have it with their Cumberland sausages.

Edmonton seems to be quite a good city as far as gluten-free products/gluten-free-friendly restaurants go. Too bad we weren't closer but at least we have it!! ;)

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
