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!! ;)

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
