Snack Items I Can't Find

My daughter is getting bored with our usual snacks that I can get at a local co op. I have been looking for specifically gluten free pretzels, a fruity cereal like Fruit Loops (not fruity pebbles), and kinnickinnick donuts and blueberry muffins. Do you know of a one stop shop that has a good selection of this stuff, so that I don't have to pay shipping for each item?

Thanks!

Somebody might correct me but I don't think Kinnikinnick sells online anywhere but their own site. They do sell at scattered stores in Canada and the U.S. You can go to the web site to find stores and see if there's one near you.

We get the # from the Kinnikinnick site then call them and order them. They were here within 2 days. I think at some health food stores they have them but I am not sure. I know gluten-free pretzels you can find at a health food store if not you can go to a site and order those as well.

If you have a Whole Foods near you, they stock a lot of gluten-free items...

The one near me in Massachusetts has an aisle specifically for gluten-free products. As well as a new bakery section with all their gluten-free bakery items (made in a gluten-free bakehouse). I practically live at Whole Foods now!

However, it is an expensive store so I am not sure if it is cheaper to order things online...

gluten-free pretzels- The best price I have found is at Open Original Shared Link It costs $6.99 for a family sized bag that is 28 (1/2oz) servings. The have a very good selection of snacks and other gluten-free foods there, so if you find a lot of stuff the shipping isn't too much. It will also calculate the shipping cost as you fill your cart, so if you find something is too much shipping you can remove it from you cart. This eliminates the shock of how much the shipping is going to be when you are ready to check out!

a fruity cereal like Fruit Loops(not fruity pebbles)- I don't think they exist. Sorry.

kinnickinnick donuts and blueberry muffins- It is a $10 flat shipping charge for Kinnickinick products that you get from their site. This is the only way to get them, unless you live near a store that sells them. If you order in bulk it will save money in the long run.

God bless,

Mariann

I make a pretty good fruit salad. Might be an alternative in your quest for fruit cereal. I simply take apples, oranges, and bananas, and cut them into bite size pieces. If they are all ripe, no sweetening is even needed - and the kids love it! Last week I bought some whipping cream and whipped it up with a little sugar, and topped the fruit with that. It was for dessert though, not breakfast. My husband actually enjoyed it - and he doesn't eat anything healthy!

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!
