Has anyone tried Heartland pasta and/or cereal? Just heard about it and wanted to know any reactions to it.

Never heard of it. I have tried the Tinkyada (sp?) pasta and it is the best. It is just like wheat pasta, you can hardly tell the difference. It is not mushy or gummy like regular rice pasta.

I've had the pasta and cereal....the pasta is pretty good however the cereal seems to be a big miss. Maybe it is just me, but the ceerios are just horrible....something about the flour used gives it a pretty terrible aftertaste when milk is added. They tast ok without milk, in small amounts.

Some people disagree with me, but I honestly think they're one of the more icky tasting things....but heck, at least someone is trying to make a cereal!!

I have eaten the heartland pasta several times. It was excellent. I normally eat tinkyada but I got free samples of heartland at my support group. I would definitely buy it again, it cooked up al dente and even my gluten loving kids loved it. I think it would be great in a casserole! :)

Looks like Heartland is making their pasta with corn :) I haven't found any corn pasta locally, so this is one I'd want to give a try if others have found it to be good. So far of the few rice pastas I've tried, Tinkyada is the best. A lot more starch ends up in the water than with the wheat stuff, so draining is even more important. Though I have just left the liquid in the pot if there wasn't too much, and thown in veggies and whatnot. Especially if I intend to add cheese anyway, the starch would only help form a sort of "sauce".

So, what about starch in the water from the corn pasta? According to the site, it cooks very fast (about 3 mins!) compared to Tinkyada, and they say not to overcook it. While Tinkyada holds up pretty well unless you really overcook it.

      Kan-101

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products...

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be...

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.
