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

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.

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.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
