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!

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankle...

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers
