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?

      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.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.

      Thanks to both of you for your responses! Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference...

In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.
