It's flattened in the process of toasting - look at the end bits on the right hand side for comparison.

I thought I read ages ago you had to be gluten free, Did you not have Coeliac (interested as I can't do lactose myself amongst other things) or did the doctors screw up?NotoriousREV wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 10:58 amCiabatta's weird. It's a very open texture but somehow also really dense. I prefer a baguette for soft and fluffiness.
On this subject I love Bagels toasted and un-toasted, pretzels, sour-dough, ciabatta, baguette and Pain are all good too.

Re: Bagels
Toasting does magic to bagels. They can need a hacksaw to cut in half - bung them in the toaster and it's all good.
Oh - I get it now. Some on here are trying to eat them in one go. Half at a time ftw.

Re: Bagels
I’m coeliac and have IBS because I’m just lucky. So I can make the effort to be gluten free and have stomach cramps and diarrhoea, or I can eat what I like and have stomach cramps and diarrhoea. Luckily, my Type 2 Diabetes medication causes stomach cramps and diarrhoea too, so if I ever feel good for a while I can always take a tablet to get things back to normal.drcarlos wrote: ↑Wed May 09, 2018 5:01 pmI thought I read ages ago you had to be gluten free, Did you not have Coeliac (interested as I can't do lactose myself amongst other things) or did the doctors screw up?NotoriousREV wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 10:58 amCiabatta's weird.

Re: Bagels
Have you tried cutting lactose Rev? My missus got diagnosed by a GP for IBS but we ate a vegan diet for a while and she stopped getting symptoms. Figured out it was Lactose that was giving her grief.
Don't worry lads, we're not vegan anymore so we don't need any lectures .

Re: Bagels
I drink shitloads of milk, at least 2 pints per day and always have done. However, when I'm dieting I cut it out completely, usually for 12 weeks at a time. I actually do see an improvement in my symptoms, but I think it's because I'm generally eating better then, rather than it being the milk itself. Things that set me off the most are heavy carb meals, very fatty meals and, sometimes but not always, spicy food. sometime I get symptoms when I've had noting but water. I was diagnosed with IBS when I was 7 or 8, the coeliac diagnosis came when I'd gone back to the doc as an older adult to see if medical science could explain things better. Imagine my joy when they said it was both. The way I look at it is: at least I don't have Crohns.ZedLeg wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 10:23 am Have you tried cutting lactose Rev?

Re: Bagels
Ah, definitely more than my missus then. She switched to a mix of the lactofree and soy stuff and noticed the difference straight away. Of course she still occasionally eats stuff with lactose in it and suffers for it .

Re: Bagels
Prefer bagels toasted but will eat untoasted as a pack of them provides a nice munchable food item at work for a bargain price (maybe not a whole pack in a day. maybe)

Re: Bagels
I get stomach cramps and runny bottom on a regular basis although have never been diagnosed with anything (I've not been to check to be honest) I love milk but it always seemed to be the trigger. I switched to soya milk, odd tasting for the first couple of days but I can't drink normal milk now. I have it in tea, on cereal, everything. I love it and best of all I'm loosing weight!ZedLeg wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 10:23 am Have you tried cutting lactose Rev?

Back on topic I had my first bagel last night, very pleasant. I'm now going to start trying different brands to see which is best.
