Yeah Syl, now you see why I am confused! When I first started Heather's diet, I avoided HFCS in major quantities like in syrup, ketchup, and applesauce. I still eat the HFCS-free kinds, but sometimes they are not available so I will eat the regular. I had a turkey burger awhile ago at the diner with HFCS ketchup and I didn't have the gas afterwards. There has to be something in the bagels and the pretzels that reacts with me...it's weird b/c my husband bought one at a different place yesterday and I was okay after I ate it????? I am so confused. Would excess fructose from the strawberries cause it ? I'm going to give them a whirl again and eat them with another sf base like italian bread and see what happens. So you say that fructose sensitivity would cause a reaction even if you have just some HFCS? I hate trying to figure this out! I keep flip-flopping between gluten and fructose as culprits (ie., I get gas from oranges, haven't touched orange juice in over a year, gas from grapes..even a few). I ordered gluten free bagels recently just in case (a fortune  ) but I love bagels so if they taste good it will be worth it. Thanks. And thanks to everyone else who responded. Sorry to hear that some of you have the same miserable symptoms.

I have a copy of the book "Gastrointestinal Health" and it lists both pretzels and bagels as possible gassy foods. Maybe they are for you.

Ooh really? Interesting. That makes a lot of sense. I always seem to get really gassy after either. Tend to avoid them.

Thanks. I am realizing that the type of bagel I have and the place that I get it from make a huge difference. There is one place near my house that I completely avoid b/c I had HORRIBLE gas after eating there once! I ordered some gluten-free ones online and I'm still awaiting their delivery... I'm beginning to wonder if I got scammed...I can't recall the site at the moment, but the email confirmation doesn't give me much info as to when they will arrive, etc...
