Ingredient notes

What to know about whole wheat bagel

A whole wheat bagel is dense, boiled-then-baked wheat dough, so a single bagel packs the gluten and fructans of several slices of bread into one sitting. The whole-grain bran keeps the fructans high, and the sheer portion size is what makes bagels a bigger trigger than a normal slice for people with gluten sensitivity or a FODMAP gut.

Watch for

  • Contains gluten and is a large portion, so one bagel delivers far more wheat than a single slice of bread
  • High in fructans from wheat, a common cause of bloating and gas that builds through the morning
  • Dense and boiled, so it is slow to digest and can sit heavily on a sensitive stomach
  • Not a good SIBO choice, since the wheat carbs feed bacterial overgrowth
