Kinnikinnick English Muffins

I just tried the Kinnikinnick English Muffins and they are VERY good. And big. Most gluten-free bread products are usually on the small size compared to regular bread products, but these are generously sized. :)

I just said to myself yesterday I'm done with gluten free breads because I haven't found one yet that I can stomach. They are either gritty, smell awful, or are just plain dry and nasty (Glutino Sesame bagels? ackkk) I've tried every one I can find here and also made my own but it didn't rise so it was gross. We don't have Rudi's here (so everyone can save their fingers from typing that I should try it LOL just being considerate!!)

But.... now that you said this I may have to do one more try and see if I can find the Kinni* English Muffins.

I'll try anything once!!

Thanks for the update

Have you tried Grainless Baker or Udi's? Also keep in mind that almost all our breads and buns etc need to be toasted or microwaved for the best taste and texture.

I usually get the Hamburger Bun, but grabbed the English Muffins by mistake. They actually tasted pretty much the same. Though I think I like the texture of the Hamburger buns better.

I had an english muffin...gosh, I can't remember the name. It was in a cardboard box with no top, just like non gluten-free english muffins are. I think the variety I had was a green box and had flax in it. They weren't bad. Definately had to toast them as the middle was a bit gummy w/o toasting. But overall, very good. (MMM, now I wish I had some...those sound good right now!Guess I have to add it to my grocery list!)

I asked my grocer to start to carry Rudi's and they happily replied that we should have some in the next 2 weeks! I found it out of town, and LOVE it, but mostly as a grilled sandwich. Don't forget to ask where you buy your other gluten-free products! I doubt you are the only one, or they wouldn't have gr products! Rudi's also sells their product online. :D

I sure love this forum! I've saved so much money by checking out what people had to say about products on the forum before buying them. Gluten free eating is expensive and the more we can help each other out the better! Thanks a bunch!

That is so true. Gluten-free bread products may be called different things and be different shapes, but they all basically taste the same. Only the texture is different. We are just so desperate, that we'll be happy if only the texture isn't too horrible.

It's the lessor of two inedibles. lol

While the topic of gluten-free bread is still up I just have to say that after reading hundreds of posts on here about the famous Udi's (which I didn't think was available in Canada let alone anywhere near my small town of 1000 people), I found it 40 minutes away at Sobey's! I almost cried when I tasted it. After 10 sandwich-less years I ate 2 in a row. Even my boyfriend said it tasted similar to Wonderbread! If you can get your local grocer to bring it in I would advise it!

Being a recently-diagnosed Celiac (last week!) my husband and I immediately drove three hours to Edmonton to do some shopping. I was off gluten 5 months on my challenge so tried some pretty sordid products. When I tried the Kinnikinnick English muffins I despaired and cried. Then I tried Udi's last week and was awakened to new hope. It is amazing how desperate you can get (speaking for myself)! This week, however, I am making my own English muffins.

I live about 2 hours North East of Edmonton-- have you been to planet organic off Whyte Ave? Where do you usually do your shopping? Strathcona farmers market has amazing home made gluten free pies and other treats!

Yes - we have been to Planet Organic but I found prices there to be higher than at Ed's gluten-free. However, PO has a lot of yummy-looking snack things. And produce. I am trying to stay away from gluten-free snacks to prevent weight gain and am trying to make nearly everything myself. So, I am experimenting away!

We love the Strathcona Market. Our favourite sausages are from Irving Farm and they are gluten-free which is wonderful! I love my bangers and mash and can still have it with their Cumberland sausages.

Edmonton seems to be quite a good city as far as gluten-free products/gluten-free-friendly restaurants go. Too bad we weren't closer but at least we have it!! ;)

      Thank you for the information. I did order/receive GliadinX to have on hand in the event of suspected exposure.

      Celiac or not?

      By Dc91 · Posted

      Just had a letter through from the Celiac team, they’ve diagnosed me through my bloods, no endoscopy/biopsy needed. I guess I’ll be sticking around on this forum and I’m sure I’ll be back soon. thanks for all your help

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      Hi everyone I’m somewhat new here- at least this is my first time posting.    I have been having persistent stomach issues since July of 2024- so around 7 ish months I’ve been having issues. At first I thought it was just a bout of constipation because I had had that issues before but- it simply did not go away at first I went to urgent care for my bloating and stomach pain and constipation and they basically didn’t really check anything and just passed it off as constipation and gave me stool softeners. Then I started having joint pain and a sharp stinging sensation in my back that debilated me and urgent care passed it off as muscle spasms. Then I finally went to my primary care doctor and they put me on a lowfodmap diet- and that didn’t help…(I was still eating gluten product),then I told her that didn’t help and then she didn’t contact me for several weeks not even trying to pinpoint the cause of my discomfort. So I started doing my own research from reputable sites- and analyzed my symptoms. Then suddenly I started losing weight rapidly 23 pounds in a month to be exact and I had like pale yellowish stool. Then I started realizing maybe it was gluten that was irritating me and I cut it out and started feeling a little bit better but still had some discomfort. Then I contacted my doctor again for a blood test for it and it came back negative. But I still was worried at least if it could be anything else going on in my stomach though I was sure it was celiac disease. Then after me practically begging her to let me get an endoscopy eventhough she insisted I was fine- I choose a doctor to see that was not my primary care doctor to evaluate me and they recommended I get an endoscopy…and I had an endoscopy a few weeks later. That came back negative for celiac with my biopsy too and no other damages from my ultra sound I got or anything. So I was naturally extremely confused. So I started to feel like maybe I was over exaggerating. But then I started researching on endoscopies- and found out for a confirmed positive blood test and endoscopy I had to be CURRENTLY eating gluten something neither of my doctors notified me about nor the GI specialists. So I realized my doctor probably would not order me another endoscopy…and also I just decided do I really need to go through the pain of eating gluten again for an endoscopy- when I could just stop eating it? So I weighed it and at the moment I decided- I would not get an endoscopy and just be gluten free- and for a little bit- I was fine- then my stomach started hurting again- a few times could’ve been from cross contamination but I also saw that a lot of the gluten free products I was eating contained corn and I tested it and stopped eating corn products for a few days and felt better. So I also did research on corn and found that some people with celiac disease can respond negatively to corn because it has a protein in it similar to gluten. So I cut that out completely and felt better for a long time. Except for ocassional corn cross contaminations I felt fine- until recently where I think I may have had corn products a few times consistently- and not noticed despite my stomach upset because I had been dealing with stomach issues so long I thought it was the norm. Now for the past few days possibly because of the consistent corn exposure for the past month I’ve been having an upset and bloated stomach eventhough I stopped eating the corn- because I think (though studies are not sure on corn damaging celiacs stomach lining) corn may have been damaging my stomach lining again during that time- and I may be developing some new intolerances or conditions. I want to go get that checked out but I don’t want to be gaslighted by doctors again- cause it makes me feel crazy. And I’m also debating on whether or not I want to go through the pain and stomach damage again for 2-6 weeks to really confirm if I have celiac disease- and I’ve been even more reluctant because now I am in classes again and I have to be in class consistently standing up a lot (culinary class) for multiple hours on end and I don’t think me being fatigued and sick and in pain is going to be good for me during that time. Should I get an endoscopy to confirm if I have celiac disease again this time actually eating gluten up to that point- or should I just first try to figure out what intolerances I may have developed or other conditions via a doctor- or wait for a while until my stomach lining has repaired sufficiently or at least enough before getting an endoscopy and a blood test again at a time when I am not busy a year or so from now while maintaining a gluten free corn free diet until my endoscopy is booked and then I will begin eating gluten and corn up until the endoscopy? (Sorry I know that was a lot.)

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By trents · Posted

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?
