gluten-free Bagels, Soy-Free, Canola-Free: Do They Even Exist?

I have been looking for gluten-free bagels that contain:

No canola oil

No soy

No millet

because these ingredients significantly worsen my thyroid function.

Has anyone ever found a brand that uses none of those three ingredients?

Arrrgh :angry: I thought I had a YES, but it appears Udi's has changed the Plain Bagel for good. :(

They changed from a Plain that was using sunflower oil to the new "soft&chewy" version which lists "veg oil: canola or blahblah".

I can't have canola w/out getting dizzy, though I'm not sure what would happen if I had a lot, or even a little daily or frequently, and I don't know why it affects me either. Is it the rapeseed protein itself or that it's one of the most GMO'd or something else entirely?

Anyway, I just started trying their Plain - to try something w/ yeast just cuz it's been so long. I was psyched & they were awesome then I saw the new "soft&chewy" version & realized it might be REPLACING my new fav, but hoped it'd be augmenting the bagel line.

Was just at Open Original Shared Link & they only show the ones w/ canola. :sadANDangryface:

It does say "canola OR . ...." so someone w/ a lesser canola problem can gamble if they'd like.

Now .. . ..who's been doing all the complaining to Udi's that the bagels were too hard??? Mine weren't anything like that.

Are people not even toasting them? (Hadn't even considered that - great leaps in comm'l gfBaking since I last looked I suppose)

Canola, GMO or not, is bad for people with Hashimoto's thyroiditis / hypothyroidism. It is a goitrogens-containing food, like all plants in the Brassica family. Now, I know that it is ok in moderation, cooked, and with enough iodine, yadda, yadda, yadda. But I feel knocked out/dizzy/brain fogged for hours if I eat something cooked with canola oil, so I am trying to avoid it.

Totally unrelated: it's CRAZY that they told you you'd "grow out" of celiac!

I don't know where you live but maybe there are some local gluten-free bakers? That might be your best bet.

or maybe you can learn how to make your own.

Well it was the 'conventional wisdom' in the mid 1960s & but yes CRAZY & it's persisted enough that I saw someone RECENTLY quote a Dr saying so.

Mine actually was sort of dormant for decades in that it wasn't debilitating or even noticeable in anything but hindsight, though of course I'd've been better off not going back on gluten when I turned 5.

I had full thyroid checkout yrs ago while already having canola dizzy symptom, but are you saying that it'd be a reason to suspect thyroid otherwise? :huh:

@ Tom - no, I wouldn't say that. It may as well be that you don't tolerate it (personally, I think canola is not real food). But if you have thyroid-symptoms of some kind, then get a full panel (TSH, FT3, FT4, etc, and anti-thyroid antibodies).

@ Karen - that's what I have been looking for, with no success. :(

@ Shadow - I think that will end up being what will happen. Just I don't have a stove right now. Long story...

Been there done that and have a postcard from it (when i was younger we didn't have one for a short while (a week or two) and i had to do dishes in the tub (we were remodeling the kitchen and whatnot, so no sink or stove for that period of time, quite interesting)).

The doctor thing doesn't surprise me. Horses are far more common then zebras in the herd after all...

Yeah, been without gas for a month now, same reasons. I am looking into countertop convection ovens, really, just so as to keep my sanity. Suggestions?

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
