Kinnikinnick Plain Bagels

I have been eating these bagels for 2+ years. Back in the winter of 2007, they became hard to find. I found out that they were having production issues and opening a new plant. 3-4 months later I found the bagels again and now they taste different and it is not a good different. I know they are the "new" ones b/c there is a sticker over the old nutrition info on the bag. Not only are they higher in calorie, they really don't taste good. Anyone else have this issue? I won't continue to buy these at $5/pack for 4 bagels if this is a permanent thing. I guess I will have to try to make bagels out of the Pamela's bread mix. I have been meaning to do this for a while anyway.

I tried those bagels last year before I knew what I was reacting to (tapioca flour/starch) but I did not care for them, the taste.

I made my own bagels last week from the book The Gluten-Free Kitchen by Roben Ryberg. They were easy to make and tasted good/okay. I am hoping they taste even better the next time I make them, thinking about trying a flavor instead of just plain.

I never had the old kinnikinnick bagels, but I have had the new ones and Joan's Great Bakes (Open Original Shared Link) are the most delicious bagels (or any bread product for that matter) gluten-free item I've tried. The nutritionals aren't posted online but they are similar to the Kinnikinnick bagels. I think it's close to 270 cal and 4g fat per good sized bagel.

Their chocolate dipped doughnuts used to be fantastic last year, but I tried them again this spring and they were god awful.

Totally a shame. I definitely had hope for that company, and if you've noticed they actually switched to more expensive packaging and stuff thinking they would make it. But with their product tasting the way it is now, I don't think they'll do so hot.

Thanks for the warnings on the donuts. They are $7+ for a package here.

What?! I was mad that I wasted $5 something on them.

I wonder if they are jacking up prices to deal with losing a bunch of fans.

Again I have only tried the donuts recently (not the older recipe) and liked them. Maybe if I tried the older ones I wouldn't by comparison. I agree they are super pricy. My favorite donuts are the maple and the cinnamon sugar.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?
