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.

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!

      Cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      I'm like Cristiana. After getting glutened, in about two hours I start develop emesis that lasts for two or three hours with intense abdominal cramping. This is followed by several hours of diarrhea. It's like my body is doing everything it can to expel the gluten as it begins to leave my stomach and enter the small bowel. So, I'm not sure how much of it actually gets into my bloodstream to create a systemic effect. But once I get past those initial intense reactions and get rehydrated I feel a lot better. Just a day or two for me. And I should add that I am not a particularly sensitive celiac who reacts strongly to a tiny amount of cross contamination. It takes a decent amount of gluten to produce a discernable reaction in me. The last reaction I can remember having was precipitated by consuming a small appetizer-size cup of soup at a Chinese restaurant that had soy sauce in it. I was careful to choose things for the main meal that didn't have soy sauce in them but overlooked the appetizer.

      Clancy’s Hint of Lime tortilla chips Aldi

      By Saratonin · Posted

      Has anyone reacted to Clancy’s hint of lime tortilla chips? The bag says gluten free, but this is the only new food I’ve had recently and I was definitely glutened by something. I know Tostito’s brand doesn’t claim gluten free and these suspiciously taste very similar to how I remember those tasting.

      Hi @Michael McDonald and welcome to the forum. Everyone's experience varies, and I think what you are experiencing is normal, having read a lot of different accounts over the years.  Of course, there is always just a slight chance that gluten might still be getting in somewhere, or that your symptoms might also be down to a gastric virus or food poisoning too, it sometimes is difficult to be sure which is which! But from my own experience, my own reactions have changed over time. Now I react differently to a significant glutening (vomiting, chills, palpitations) and the effects are about 2-3 hours after the glutening.  Sorry for TMI but I think the gluten doesn't hang around in my system as long because I throw up. Before found it took me maybe over a week to feel a lot better.  Although I felt nauseous I wasn't actually sick, so I guess more time for the gluten to hang around in my system.  I would experience chills, dizziness and diarrhea immediately.  Then, bouts of feeling unwell again for perhaps the initial week.  As well as oten feeling just plain weird and out of things.  The thing other thing would be developing a gastritis like sore stomach which could go on for two weeks or more, in the ensuing days.  I would never recommend popping a PPI long-term (unless medically advised, of course,), but time has taught me that a short dose of omeprazole 20mg for maybe 2 -3 days post glutening  helps nip this gastritis pain in the bud.  I take it first thing in the morning, with a glass of water.

      It’s been 3 days so far. I think I might be on the mend, but every time I think that, I go on rewind.  Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.
