Kinnikinnick

I read here so many people buying from Kinnikinnick.

I went to the website and found that they are not compatible with Mac computers. They say you can use a basic version but I found that I could not. It wouldn't allow me to do anything.

Quite amazing. I have had a Mac for years and years and never encountered a website I couldn't use. Too bad. Sounds like they make good stuff.

Anyone else share my disappointment? :( Claire

Check your local health food store. Alot carry the kinnikinnick bread. If they don't they may order it in for you. Having said that the only way it is at all edible is toasted. I does make good BLT's

Claire,

I just ordered from it today and some of it is pretty good. Here's their toll free number- I bet they'll let you do a phone order.

Call Us Toll Free:

1-877-503-4466

If you need help with the items, i don't mind if you p.m me and i can tell you what they have.

The bagels, donuts, pizza crust, bread and chocolate chip cookies are great. Cinnamon raisin bagels are NOT tasty.

Is the cinnamon raisin bread decent? I just ordered some... I hope it's not gross. Someone on here suggested trying the English Muffins instead of the buns, because I thought the buns were like a hockey puck.

I like the cinnamon raisin bagels too. I don't care for the tapioca cinnamon raisin bread though. It is sliced too thin and burns easily. I am also not happy with the texture. I love so many of the other foods they make that I can live without the cinnamon raisin bread. I want to try the festive bread, but I don't think it is late enough in the fall for them to start making it.

I was disappointed with my last order. My friend and I purchased a total of 7 bags of bagels, and they were ALL out of stock, so they didn't send ANY! So I have been anxiously waiting to place my next order. I want a bagel badly...

They do take phone orders too.

God bless,

Mariann

Our local health store just starting with gluten free foods. Likewise local Giant. No Kinnikinnick anything, Whole Foods may have something - will see when I go again. I don't care about bread/ Woud; like to find a good scone.

I didn't care for the cinnamon raisin bagels. I didn't try their cinnamon bread. I really like the tapioca rice bread. The pieces are large and thinly sliced. Great for my kids who have loose teeth. My kids prefer it slightly toasted. The donuts are great. We add frosting. I think it's Pillsbury double chocolate that we're using. If you find what you like at Kinnikinnick, order tons to save on shipping. Shipping is a flat $10 fee for each order up to $200. It's best to do it that way and keep the extras in a freezer. I have an extra freezer in the garage for this reason.

Warning: The worse pizza crust I've ever (in my life)had was from the gluten free pantry.

If you know someone with a computer or go to public library where they have public computers or internet cafe(?) go to website and download an order form and review site to see what you want to order, write it down on order form and mail into/fax into or call into Kinni's for an order....

Their Italian bread is really good--so much better than Energie's (which feels like sawdust in your mouth). I like Kinninnicks made into sandwiches/am real pleased with it. Barbara

My local (southern california) Whole Foods does carry some Kinnikinnick stuff. Check the freezer section. Also, some WF's now carry some of their own gluten-free bakery goods. I'm pretty sure they had gluten-free scones.

Claire, we have Whole Foods down here in Dallas. They have a GREAT Gluten-Free line of bakery items. If I remember correctly, they have cranberry scones. You might ask about them next time you're in.

I haven't had them as I have an aversion to eating things shaped in a triangle. :D

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
