They are tolerable but not "real". When we finally got them in Hawaii it was kind of a celebration after 3+ bageless years

after diagnosis. I guess for me a bad bagel was better than no bagel.

I have not found anything that mimics the bagels I used to eat when I was eating poison. The Glutino ones are the closest I've found. They're acceptable.

Glutino English Muffins are just like the wheat ones I once ate.

Personally, I REALLY like the Glutino bagels! But then, I haven't had a real bagel in years, even though I was only dx'd a few months ago......avoidance, and all that.

So if you're craving them, go ahead and spend the money - I don't think you'll be sorry!

Just a tip on preparing them, though.......

I microwave them for about 30-40 seconds so they're just soft enough to slice, then throw them in my gluten-free toaster. I tried putting them under the broiler at first, and I not only burnt myself when trying to slice it, I ended up burning the bagel as well. :angry: As expensive as they are, you don't want to waste them!

I love Glutino bagels. Go ahead and buy them. You won't be sorry. I like mine toasted with cream cheese and chives.

Too expensive BUT I buy them all the time because they taste good and make a great bun with a hamburg or hot dog but they must always be toasted.

I like 'em......Also great with Lox & Cream Cheese. Good to use for sandwiches and hanburgers as well.

I used to really love Glutino bagels, but within the past month or so, they've changed their recipe.

Now, instead of being somewhat lighter and almost airy, they are dense and heavy.

I won't buy them anymore.

If they ever change the recipe back, I used to prepare them like the poster above: Micro for 30 seconds to slice, then toast.

Halfway through, and after, the toasting, I would crush the bagels. The crust gets insanely hard during toasting, and the manual crushing of the crust makes the eating of it more enjoyable for me.

But as I said before, they've changed their recipe, and their toasted bagels are like bricks now. :(

I don't like them. :ducks: I have some Enjoy Life ones here that I can't bring myself to taste because I don't want to be disappointed again.

They used to taste okay, but now they have an odd smell. It's hard for me to tolerate them.

Yeah I bought them and theyre alright...not like real bagels but not terrible. However, i didnt realize until after i bought them that they arent dairy free and i try to stay away from dairy.

Of course they are nowhere near as good as real bagels, but they are surprisingly edible. Probably the closest thing to a bagel as you're gonna get. The Glutino english muffins are really good though!

I defrost my frozen gluten-free bread products carefully. Microwave on one side for ten seconds, then the other side for ten seconds. And so on until just defrosted, but still cold. Then toast. gluten-free baked goods, such as the bagels and english muffins, don't take well to buttering before toasting like I prefer. I've tried but it takes forever to brown.

best regards, lm

Here is my favorite gluten-free bakery... and now that I can order online I don't have to "road trip" it for bread (Like going to NY is really a hardship, lol!). They just added bagels!!

Try these, you will NOT be disappointed. I can personally vouch for the cinn. raisin and the multigrain bread as well! I order products from them with a group of people to help with the s&h

To top it off ALL products are wheat, gluten, dairy and nut free!! I have frozen these products for up to 3 months without any problems with taste, etc. that can happen.

Happy Eating!

Joan's Gluten Free Great Bakes makes the most realistic bagels in my opinion:

The only downside is that they take a long time to make. You have to bake them in the oven (or toaster oven) prior to toasting. The flavor and texture are excellent though.

Now that I finally tried the Enjoy Life bagels the Glutino ones don't seem so bad. I think I'm going to try those Le Garden ones though, they look delicious!

I started a thread the other day on bagels, before I saw this one.....

I just had my first bagel from Joan's gluten-free Great Bakes, and I have to say it definitely resolved my craving for a great bagel! Shipping was $$$, so I'm trying to find a store nearby that carries them (Nearest I see on the list is a 40 minute drive from here)......

It did take 25 minutes +, but after several years without my bagel and pineapple cream cheese fix, I think it was definitely worth the wait. Pretty sure the 5 pack will be gone before Monday rolls around. (Yikes!)

i like kinnikkinikk. they have great taste and are lighter than a regular bagel, which is a good thing for me because i wouldnt be able to finish it otherwise. i didnt care for glutino because of the heaviness

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
