You are like at gluten-free central. Edmonton is the location for the Kinnickinnick prodcuts - the bakery is located there, They ship all over Canada and U.S. Products can be found at Save on Foods in Sherwood Park and Safeways allover Edmonton. The specific Safeways are listed on the kininickinnick site - amt of product varies from store to store - so just phone and ask if they carry kinnickinnick.

There is link on the website to locate store that carries the products.

Also Planet organic carries all sorts of gluten-free foods and staff are knowledgable and will help you

Thank-you so much! I was excited to see that they carry pizza crust! My boyfriend does luv the occasional pizza so he'll be thrilled that we can actually make one we can both eat!

Go right to Kinnikinnick itself. It is cheaper to buy direct from their store and they have many other cool items only for us locals.

Planet Organic near Whyte has everything you could want or need.

Save-On Foods has a good selection of various items.

Safeway, Superstore and Costco have okay selections.

Sobey's and IGA have pretty much nothing for us.

Of course if you buy naturally gluten-free foods (like fruits, veggies and meat) then you can shop anywhere.

Yeah, Sobey's is useless for us. There is a lady at the Strathcona farmers market that sells gluten-free stuff, but I haven't tried any of her stuff. Also at the market is a farm that sells gluten-free meats, like deli meat, sausages, etc. I haven't tried these either, but the entire farm family is celiac, I believe. They have a website, but I can't remember exactly, maybe Sunrise Farms?

I'm glad that there is a Planet Organic in Edmonton. I just got a job offer in Northern Alberta and I may have to drive to Edmonton every few weeks to buy gluten-free products.

Does anyone know the address to the Planet Organic in Edmonton?

Can you buy products at the bakery?

Buy direct from Kinnikinnick at the bakery. They even have many specialty items for us locals only in their store, like freshly baked pies, etc. And they are labelled dairy-free, which is a good thing for many of us. It's an awesome store.

On another note, congratulations on another job offer in Alberta. I just graduated from the U of A and I'm still on the job hunt.

I was in the new Planet Organic by my house yesterday and it was awesome. They have tons of gluten-free stuff all over the store. The manager was so helpful and they have a booklet that they will give Celiacs that has all of their own products that are wheat/gluten-free and it has recipes in it also. I went nuts and got Glutino sesame pretzels and some trail mix, Spinach pizza and some penne pasta that is wheat and gluten free. I went mad in there and they also carry "Seeds of Change" foods, tons of glutino, tinkyada and kinnickinnik.

Wow :) Thanks everyone for your help. I am going to have to check out those stores. I have been going to the Planet Organic in Southland, Calgary and I love that store!

I go to Planet Organic in Edmonton usually just for one or two items. I can't seem to leave the store with less than a full basket! There are so many good items to choose.

      Hasn’t been given folic acid as GP says vit b and folic acid can’t be given together which I find strange cos any time I did venepunctures B12 and folate were always grouped together? Her folate level was 2.2, just below the normal level

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Hi Thanks for your input. Don’t know which exact medication she’s on, keep asking but she keeps forgetting!!! I still think her Vitamin D levels might be low cos she had the back pain and tingling last year( around March /April) and levels were low so she had 3 month course then and it helped. She’s coming home next week (as in to ours) for a long weeke...

      how long does it take for the genetic blood test for celiac to come back?

      Genetic testing for celiac disease (the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes) usually takes about 3–10 days to come back, depending on the lab your doctor uses, though some places may take up to two weeks. The test itself doesn’t diagnose celiac disease—it only shows whether you carry the genes that make celiac possible. About 30–40% of people have one of these genes, ...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      @Heatherisle, You're not a bother at all. What "Vitamin B medication" is she taking? Is it just B12 and folate? All eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals need to be supplemented because the malabsorption of Celiac disease affects all the nutrients. All the B vitamins work together. Just supplementing one or two...

      Genetic testing for celiac disease (the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes) usually takes about 3–10 days to come back, depending on the lab your doctor uses, though some places may take up to two weeks. The test itself doesn’t diagnose celiac disease—it only shows whether you carry the genes that make celiac possible. About 30–40% of people have one of these genes, but only a small percentage actually develop celiac disease. However, if the test is negative for both genes, celiac disease becomes extremely unlikely, which is why your doctor mentioned possibly canceling the endoscopy if the result is negative. If it’s positive, it just means celiac remains a possibility and further testing, like a gluten challenge followed by endoscopy, helps confirm it. Since you have an identical twin, it’s definitely useful information to share if the genes are present, because twins share the same genetic risk. It sounds like you found a very thorough GI doctor, which is great, especially since she’s also monitoring nutrients and looking at the whole picture.

      @Heatherisle, You're not a bother at all.   What "Vitamin B medication" is she taking?  Is it just B12 and folate?   All eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals need to be supplemented because the malabsorption of Celiac disease affects all the nutrients.  All the B vitamins work together.  Just supplementing one or two can throw the other B vitamins out of balance causing worsening deficiencies in other B vitamins.  Doctors are undereducated about nutrition.  Heavy sigh. This is worrisome.  These are all symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi caused by Thiamine deficiency.   An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay needs too be done to check her Thiamine level.  But because this test is so expensive and takes so long for the results to come back, it's much simpler to administer 500 mg Thiamine Hydrochloride several times a day for several days and look for health improvement (WHO recommendation).  Doctors can administer Thiamine Hydrochloride by IV along with a "banana bag" with all the B vitamins in it.  (Riboflavin gives it the yellow color.).  I've experienced vitamin deficiencies which my doctors didn't recognize.  When thiamine and B12 deficiencies started affecting my brain function, my doctors wrote me off as a depressed hypochondriac.  I had Gastrointestinal Beriberi myself.  I took over the counter thiamine hydrochloride at home and had health improvement within an hour.  High doses (500 mg) of Thiamine are needed to "jump start" the body into proper functioning.   Apologies if I was curt.  I get very frustrated because the nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac disease are not addressed properly.  All I can do is tell people about what I learned on my Celiac journey.  Have you visited my blog?  Tap on my name, look for pull down menu Activities and go to blog.   I do hope your daughter can get the nutritional support she needs.  I'm very worried.  Please keep us updated!
