Kinnikinnick

I read here so many people buying from Kinnikinnick.

I went to the website and found that they are not compatible with Mac computers. They say you can use a basic version but I found that I could not. It wouldn't allow me to do anything.

Quite amazing. I have had a Mac for years and years and never encountered a website I couldn't use. Too bad. Sounds like they make good stuff.

Anyone else share my disappointment? :( Claire

Check your local health food store. Alot carry the kinnikinnick bread. If they don't they may order it in for you. Having said that the only way it is at all edible is toasted. I does make good BLT's

Claire,

I just ordered from it today and some of it is pretty good. Here's their toll free number- I bet they'll let you do a phone order.

Call Us Toll Free:

1-877-503-4466

If you need help with the items, i don't mind if you p.m me and i can tell you what they have.

The bagels, donuts, pizza crust, bread and chocolate chip cookies are great. Cinnamon raisin bagels are NOT tasty.

Is the cinnamon raisin bread decent? I just ordered some... I hope it's not gross. Someone on here suggested trying the English Muffins instead of the buns, because I thought the buns were like a hockey puck.

I like the cinnamon raisin bagels too. I don't care for the tapioca cinnamon raisin bread though. It is sliced too thin and burns easily. I am also not happy with the texture. I love so many of the other foods they make that I can live without the cinnamon raisin bread. I want to try the festive bread, but I don't think it is late enough in the fall for them to start making it.

I was disappointed with my last order. My friend and I purchased a total of 7 bags of bagels, and they were ALL out of stock, so they didn't send ANY! So I have been anxiously waiting to place my next order. I want a bagel badly...

They do take phone orders too.

God bless,

Mariann

Our local health store just starting with gluten free foods. Likewise local Giant. No Kinnikinnick anything, Whole Foods may have something - will see when I go again. I don't care about bread/ Woud; like to find a good scone.

I didn't care for the cinnamon raisin bagels. I didn't try their cinnamon bread. I really like the tapioca rice bread. The pieces are large and thinly sliced. Great for my kids who have loose teeth. My kids prefer it slightly toasted. The donuts are great. We add frosting. I think it's Pillsbury double chocolate that we're using. If you find what you like at Kinnikinnick, order tons to save on shipping. Shipping is a flat $10 fee for each order up to $200. It's best to do it that way and keep the extras in a freezer. I have an extra freezer in the garage for this reason.

Warning: The worse pizza crust I've ever (in my life)had was from the gluten free pantry.

If you know someone with a computer or go to public library where they have public computers or internet cafe(?) go to website and download an order form and review site to see what you want to order, write it down on order form and mail into/fax into or call into Kinni's for an order....

Their Italian bread is really good--so much better than Energie's (which feels like sawdust in your mouth). I like Kinninnicks made into sandwiches/am real pleased with it. Barbara

My local (southern california) Whole Foods does carry some Kinnikinnick stuff. Check the freezer section. Also, some WF's now carry some of their own gluten-free bakery goods. I'm pretty sure they had gluten-free scones.

Claire, we have Whole Foods down here in Dallas. They have a GREAT Gluten-Free line of bakery items. If I remember correctly, they have cranberry scones. You might ask about them next time you're in.

I haven't had them as I have an aversion to eating things shaped in a triangle. :D

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
