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?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
