Food Review: Udi's GF Plain Bagels

This morning, I tried out Udi's GF Plain Bagels. With what I experienced with yesterday's pizza, I was not sure what to expect with Udi's Bagels.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that their bagels were pre-sliced. After my bagel was done browning in the toaster, I was happy to see how nicely it browned (I've noticed that a lot of gluten free breads do not brown well in toasters). I put my favorite flavor of jelly on the bagel, and took my first bite. The first bite had that crunch from being toasted. Inside, it was soft and chewy. The bagel is quite filling and it had filled me up quite nicely.

I really don't have anything negative to say about this product. I couldn't even tell that this product was gluten free. It has the softness and taste of a regular bagel.

I highly recommend this product, especially for fellow Celiacs that are craving a bagel. Top the bagel with your favorite jelly, pair it with a bowl of fruit, and enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea.

You can find this product in the freezer section of the natural foods section.

*If you are allergic to eggs, do not purchase this product.*

To Eat Gluten Free Oats, or Not To Eat Gluten Free Oats?

When you're diagnosed with Celiac Disease, you are given a list of what food you cannot eat. Wheat, Barley, Rye, and Oats. However, you find that there is such a thing as gluten free oats. You wonder if it is safe for you to chance eating it. You think to yourself: "It's gluten free, so it cannot be too bad, right?" Depending on how sensitive your Celiac is, it may be bad. While a majority of Celiacs may be able to stomach gluten free oats, and granola, there are a small percentage of us that cannot handle GF oats and granola. I fall into the sensitive category. I loved eating oatmeal, before I was diagnosed with Celiac. After I was diagnosed, I was lost. It was not until a month or two after my diagnosis, where I discovered gluten free oats. I picked some up, and started eating it every morning for breakfast. It was not until day 3 of eating GF oats, where I began to feel sick. My stomach was cramping, I was fatigued, I was nauseated. I thought I had been "

Celiac Disease and Dental Defects

You may not have known this, but Celiac Disease affects more than just your small intestine. It can affect just about all areas of your body, including your teeth. It is fairly common for people suffering from Celiac Disease, to have dental problems. Dental problems, due to Celiac Disease can involve anything from tooth discoloration, poor enamel formation, to translucent-looking teeth. Sadly, these problems are permanent, and do not get better once beginning a gluten free diet. However, some Celiacs have gone great lengths to hide these imperfections. Some have had their teeth whitened and have purchased veneers. One thing that interested me in researching this subject, was the fact that, there are a lot of dentists out there that do not know that Celiac Disease can create dental problems. However, there are dentists out there that do know this correlation and have suspected that some patients may have Celiac Disease. The dentist, then, refers them to a GI doctor for further tes

Soon, you could own a scanning device that checks for gluten in food.

Wouldn't it be great if we never had to worry about being 'glutened' when dining out? It would be freaking fantastic, right? With the wonders of technology, this could be a reality. The science and technology gods may be blessing us with a scanning device that could determine whether or not there is gluten in our food. A company in San Francisco, California called 6SensorLabs , is in the process of developing a portable device that has the capability of detecting gluten in food. The company is only one year old, and was founded by a woman who was diagnosed with a gluten allergy in college. She, and her co-founder wanted to create a device so others could have a stress free dining experience while out to eat. As for the size, it will be half the size of an iPhone, but will also be thicker. It will contain a sensor that will quickly detect gluten in food. The company is hoping to have this device available sometime next year. There is no word on how much it will cos
