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.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/
