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.

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.

      Elevated levels of Anti-Gliadin IgG might mean that your body is reacting to gluten. This can happen when your immune system is more sensitive to gluten, which could be a sign of non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). In the US 10% of the population are diagnosed NCGS while only 1% are diagnosed Celiac Disease. "5 of 26 patients (20%) with biopsy-proven...

      Hi Layu, Could you copy the lab results, exactly as they appear. Test, your results and the range the lab uses? Did the gluten free diet help? It could be that the probiotic helped limit the damage the gluten was doing. It may have lowered your test results, especially if your tests were taken during a period when you were not eating gluten...

      Holland & Barrett Supplements

      Does anyone have experience with H&B supplements? I purchased a few different supplements and most of them don’t say they are ‘gluten free’ but they don’t have wheat or gluten in their ingredients list and they don’t have a ‘may contain’ warning. Does that mean they would be safe to take?

      I tried that but it wasn't enough. Liquid Iodine drops. In the 1970s, the median urinary iodine (UI) level in the United States was 320 mcg/L, which indicated adequate dietary iodine intake. However, the median UI level dropped by 50% between the 1970s and 1990s. This decline was likely due to a decrease in salt and egg consumption and the removal...

      Elevated levels of Anti-Gliadin IgG might mean that your body is reacting to gluten. This can happen when your immune system is more sensitive to gluten, which could be a sign of non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  In the US 10% of the population are diagnosed NCGS while only 1% are diagnosed Celiac Disease.  "5 of 26 patients (20%) with biopsy-proven celiac disease during our specified period had a positive AGA IgA or IgG and a negative tTG." Anti-Gliadin Antibodies Identify Celiac Patients Overlooked by Tissue Transglutaminase Antibodies In my non medical opinion, while your tests don't completely rule out Celiac disease it does indicate a high chance of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  A biopsy would be required to rule out Celiac Disease.  Many have posted that they test negative for blood test, but were eventually confirmed to have Celiac by a biopsy, some took 10 years to finally be diagnosed. The tTG-IgA test has a sensitivity of 78% to 100% and the EMA-IgA test has a sensitivity of 86% to 100%.  So there is room for the doctors to be wrong.  Since you do better on gluten free diet, it is likely one of the two.  Both require gluten free diet for your health.

I can also say that i have often mucus in stool. I forgot to say that.  Gluten free diet helps me, right, but i can eat sometimes bread and other. Not every day. And i havent diarrhea.

It could be that the probiotic helped limit the damage the gluten was doing.  It may have lowered your test results, especially if your tests were taken during a period when you were not eating gluten.  Foods like fermented pickles and sauerkraut (lactobacillus) might also help.
