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?

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      On my Celiac journey and discovered I was also reacting to other types of gluten. The FDA in it's finite wisdom only classifies 'wheat, barley and rye' as the gluten's to be considered when a company tests for and stamps their products as gluten free. I am curious as to how many of you are aware of the other types of glutens? And another question to those on a 'traditional' gluten free diet , who are also still sick and struggling, are you also reacting to these other types of gluten as listed below? NOTE:  The new movement if you want to call it that, is now called 'grain free' and that is the true definition of gluten free. I no longer suffer with ataxia, confusion, anxiety, depression, OCD, Insomnia, ADD, acid reflux, dermatitis herpetiformis, migraines, headaches, and weight issues all due to going 'grain free'. I hope to reach as many of you out there that are still struggling and unaware of what might be setting you off such as my most recent glutening was from a vegan supplement that contained 'magnesium sterate' and 'glucose syrup' both of which are from Zien (zane) gluten at 55%. I was covered in sores that were bleeding, I was seeing squigly lines when I was trying to drive, had acid reflux, insomnia, and nightmares all from the gluten in Corn. Here are the other types of glutens that Celiacs and Gluten Intolerant people also react to: Wheat -Alpha Gliadin Gluten- 69% Rye - Secalinin gluten-30-50% Oats-Avenin gluten -16% Barley-Hordein Gluten -46-52% Millet-Panicin Gluten-40% Corn-Zien Gluten -55% Rice-Orzenin Gluten-5% Sorghum-Kafirin gluten-52% and Teff-Penniseiten Gluten 11%.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention again that IF thimerosal is used in a flu vaccine the amount of ethylmercury in a single vaccine dose would be extremely small, typically around 25 micrograms (µg) or less. For context, this is much lower than the levels of methylmercury found in some seafood. Ethylmercury is metabolized and excreted from the body much faster than methylmercury. Its half-life in the blood is about 7 days, compared to methylmercury, which can persist for months. The dose of ethylmercury in vaccines is far below the threshold known to cause toxicity so would not require chelation.

      Vaccines

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If you have poor reactions to vaccines, preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals, you may be deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine is needed in the immune response and production of antibodies.  Thiamine can be depleted by vaccines if you are already low to begin with due to the Malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  Thiamine can be destroyed by sulfide preservatives in vaccines, which can result in the body's poor response to vaccines.  Thiamine also chelates metals which allows those metals to be removed in the feces.  Chelation removes thiamine from the body, resulting in a state of thiamine deficiency.  Sugar alcohols need to be processed through the liver using thiamine.  Again, if you're low in thiamine as many Celiac are because of the Malabsorption of celiac disease, vaccines can be a tipping point, resulting in a thiamine deficient state. High doses of Thiamine required to correct thiamine deficiency states are safe and nontoxic.  Thiamine has no toxicity level.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact together to sustain health.   References: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25542071/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Pasballard, Keep in mind those gluten free processed snacks are not required to have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing products.   We need the eight essential B vitamins to turn those carbs into energy to fuel our bodies and make enzymes that sustain life.  Sudden weight gain (or weight loss) can be symptomatic of Thiamine Vitamin B1 deficiency.  Thiamine is the B vitamin with the shortest storage time, and so  thiamine deficiency shows up first with vague symptoms like weight gain or loss, fatigue, not sleeping well, achy or cramping muscles, digestive issues and headaches.   Taking vitamin and mineral supplements helps boost your body's ability to absorb these nutrients which keeps our bodies healthy.  B Complex vitamins and Vitamin D (which regulates inflammation) are usually low in people with Celiac disease.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @WildFlower1, Here's an article that explains about the updated gluten challenge guidelines.  Be sure to read the comments below the article. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Low iron can affect antibody production, causing false negatives on antibody testing.  Do you currently struggle with low iron?   Low Vitamin D can cause amenorrhea, cessation of menstrual periods.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies is a big part of Celiac disease.  We don't absorb well the eight essential B vitamins and other vitamins and minerals like calcium, resulting in osteopenia, hair loss, infertility, and neurological symptoms.  Unfortunately, doctors are not given much training in nutritional deficiencies and don't recognize the connection with the malabsorption of Celiac disease. We get very frustrated here with doctors ordering us to put a harmful substance in our bodies in order for them to say "that makes you sick".   Duh, we know that already. Do try to increase your consumption of gluten for at least two weeks before retesting.  Eat the chewy kinds of breads.  Cookies and cakes don't have as much gluten in them as those chewy artisan breads and thick pizza crusts. I admire your tenacity at continuing the gluten challenge.  Do keep us posted on your progress.  We'll continue to support you on your journey to diagnosis and recovery.
