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!! ;)

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
