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

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
