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!)

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Scallop medallions should be gluten-free, even if they used meat glue (transglutaminase) to make them, and not everyone who has celiac disease will react to meat glue, but some might. The likelihood of scallops containing transglutaminase is relatively low, as fresh or frozen scallops are typically sold without additives. However, some processed scallop medallions, especially those shaped or reformed, may use transglutaminase as a binding agent. It’s always a good idea to check the label or contact the manufacturer to confirm. The article below has more info.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Regarding #1, you'll need to determine this yourself, as there aren't tests to determine this. I had issues with casein/milk during my recovery period, and had to avoid this for 2-3 years after my diagnosis. It can be a temporary intolerance for many celiacs that may go away after your villi recover. There is research that I shared which indicates that this is true, but only in some people, and with the vast majority of celiacs gluten is the primary culprit that causes villi damage--most celiacs won't get damaged villi from casein.

      Complexities in second and third autoimmune disorders attached to ceoliac.

      By Karen Cowling · Posted

      Hi all fellow coeliacs. I was diagnosed with coeliac as a young child. I am now 62. My mother had coeliac my sister has coeliac and my brother also. My mother went through a lot of struggles due to coeliac being there was not much understanding for her as a child and adult there were no gluten-free foods except meat and veg and a hard rusk biscuit made from rice.  As children, we faced the same dilemma and did not have any idea about cross-contamination foods and or hidden gluten in foods like lollies, sausages, ice cream and so much more. Now thanks to our multicultural society we have a lot more choices with different flours and natural healthy products. My mother due to ceoliac had to have a full hysterectomy at the age of 22 due to hemophiliac from birth. I was 3mths premature due to my mother's poor health.  I watched my mother go through so many health issues and then later in life develop thyroid issues, neuropathy in the feet and hands in pain, heart issues, and cirrhosis of the organs internally and on the skin externally causing so much pain she could not button her shirt, as well as diabetes 2. There needs to be more research into the complexities of the other autoimmune disorders associated with coeliac and disability support needs to be considered to support people as their health mobility and energy is so greatly impacted. I am unsure if one fully recovers once some damage has been done. I am not sure how families can cover the cost of food when many need to eat gluten-free.  I was not able to have much of a strict diet when I was younger however as an adult I do. I have been out to gluten-free restaurants thinking I was safe to only find the sauce used had gluten in it. Even going to a friend's home to eat is not safe as knowing what is gluten-free can be difficult in the hidden products, so it is difficult to be 100 percent gluten-free. Most of the gluten-free processed products are not healthy choices and are full of sugar creating weight and diabetes 2. At the age of 62, I now have developed hashimotoes from Ceoliac, the hashimotes impact my heart and breathing and I now have sleep apnea.  Searching for gluten-free healthy organic products is not easy and is very expensive. GP does not know much about the complexities of coeliac and if you go to a naturopath you get told you need to detox and clean your gut and can overcome coeliac so no one really gets it.  The journey in finding healthy options and specialists re coeliacs in the medical system is so difficult to navigate good health being a coeliac. Research needs to be completed on the longevity and complications of the aged from coeliac. Medical treatments should be assessable and low cost across the board as well as healthy food options cheaper or vouches worldwide be accessible. A travel guidebook would also be useful for coeliacs.           l

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By S V · Posted

      I'm wondering if anyone has used Scallop medalions when doing bacon wrapped scallop medalions. I have the gluten free bacon but not sure about the medalions. Some use a binding product Transglutamas but it's hard to find which ones do or don't and info varies as to it's effect on celiac sensitive people. Any input out there? Overview

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By Beverage · Posted

      I'd like to suggest nuts.com. They have a gluten-free section. I've never had an issue  and their nuts are super fresh tasting. I eat them every day as afternoon snack.  They label the packages as gluten-free, and more and more as Certified gluten-free. Here's their statement on gluten free:   Gluten-Free The FDA is the only regulatory agency that oversees all claims about food, including the use of gluten-free. A product can be labeled "gluten-free" if it contains less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. Other third-party certification programs have developed processes and standards for their “Certified Gluten-Free” labels. Some of our gluten-free products are certified by the Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP), the most comprehensive certification program endorsed by the National Celiac Association. Our certified products contain less than five parts per million (ppm) of gluten.
