I'm Craving A Bagel...

Ok, I live in NYC, and bagels are everywhere! They are so tasty, and I am having the worst cravings for one. I'd also love to give in and have a slice of pizza. Can someone tell me if these cravings go away?

I feel weak, and depressed... Any words of encouragement?

No bagel tastes as good a New York bagel. Give that dream up NOW. Kinnikinnick has bagels that are very good for gluten free. Pizza crusts too. Still not near the same as a New York pizza.

They may or may not go away but there are great substitutes. For everything that has gluten there is something that is gluten free.

Kinnikinnick has gluten free bagels

Foods by George has english muffins that are really good(I toast the cinnamon and put strawberry Kraft cream cheese on it-soo good)

There are many good breads that we can have. You'll pick up on the good brands and then it won't bother you as much hopefully :D

After reading the book "Dangerous Grains" I had absolutely no desire to eat anything even remotely like bread ever again.

I made my whole family gluten free after reading Dangerous Grains. Only one member out of the five has celiac disease.

You should stop by Risotteria Open Original Shared Link. They have great gluten-free pizza!

I also like Kinnikinnicks cinnamon rasin bagels, so yummie!

I completely understand! Before celiac disease, bagels were truly my favorite food. I think out of everything else, I miss popping in to a bakery on my way to class and picking up a fresh-baked bagel. I've been gluten-free for almost a year now (Aug. 23rd) and I still wish I could have bagels. However, the craving is not nearly as bad as it was last year, and I never thought it would die down.

I loooooove the Glutino bagels. And until a few months ago, I thought I was alone--then someone asked about the best bagel @ the delphi board and most others agreed...try it--it's not the same--a little lighter (I live in NY, as well), but it's the best thing I've found so far. What's funny is that at first I didn't like it, since I tried it right after getting diagnosed. Then my tastes adapted and now I love them and eat them every morning...

WEST MEADOW FARM BAKERY in Vermont!!!!!! If you want a bagel that doesnt taste gluten-free then this is where you go! They are a little smaller but like I said they are delicious! They are about $1 a bagel but worth it. The lady who runs the bakery makes them fresh and she will make any kind you want! She has a web site but it is still under construction but her telephone number is there, just give her a call, shes very nice and also has muffins (also great) delicious donuts that taste like real doughboys and pies (havent tried them yet but i'm sure they are good) Hope I helped !

I"ve been gluten free for 4 years now and I still get the occassional cravings for bagels, pizza, oreos, etc. Every once in while I start crying, and I think its pent up emotions coming out becaues usually I am fine being around people eating tons of stuff I can't have.

Personally, I am not a fan of Kinnikinick bagels. I LOVE Glutino bagels though. They redid them last year and now they are bigger (about the size of a bagel, say, from Brueggers). I love them!

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
