Low(er) carb gluten-free pasta?

Does anyone know of a lower carb gluten-free pasta? I have looked at pretty much all the bigger brands (Italpasta, Barilla, GoGo, President's Choice, Tinkyada, Rizopia, Catelli, Arrowhead Mills, Prairie Harvest) and they all come in at about 0.7-0.8 carbs per gram of pasta.

Does anyone know of a higher protein, lower carb version?

I realize pasta is, by definition, higher carb but in the non-gluten-free world there are at least higher protein/lower carb pastas. Why not a gluten-free contender?

And, yes, I know you can do the whole spiralized veggie thing but sometimes you just want pasta!

Anyone have product suggestions?

I posted about this product last week - Organic Edamame Spaghetti (Open Original Shared Link) is lower carbs and has lots of protein. I actually like it a lot, and Costco carries it.

I think the same company also makes black bean pasta, but I haven't seen it in stores.

Oh, I like that! The nutritional specs are really good. I'm in Canada, though, so I will have to check if Costco Canada has it. I hope so!

 

Thanks so much!

I don't think it's available in Canada yet, but according to their website Banza pasta has double the protein of regular pasta and half the carbs of regular pasta. I haven't tried it yet, Open Original Shared Link

This one looks even better. I like that it's dried pasta. Not in Canada, though. Bummer. We always are late to the party where new products are concerned. Sucks!

Just saw this article Open Original Shared Link

and did a search here and saw it mentioned briefly in this thread. Has anyone tried the Banza pasta? I love the nutrition on it! And it's actually sold near where I live :) Would love to try it soon!

OLD dead thread but by lower carb standards I use Open Original Shared Link

 

 

For a protein add in I whisk up some egg beaters or egg whites. pour them into a oiled skillet on low heat to form a thin layer and cook to form a thin sheet. I dump this on a cutting bored and use a knife to cut it into thin noodles for added protein. You can also cut deli meats into thin strips for protein.  The noodles from Miracle noodles I normally serve up with browned longhorn, and pasta sauce, for vegans I top with beyond meat beefy crumbles, and sometimes I mix up a vegan cheesy sauce or a dairy free alfrado sauce and mix in tuna or salmon.

Sounds delicious.

I am mostly interested in the Banza brand to see how they fare the next day and how good they are supposed to taste according to the review.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Thanks @knitty kitty for keeping me thinking about the importance of vitamins. And I appreciate you sending those papers (gives me something for my science brain to work through!

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Yes, that seems to be the gist. Quantifying residues in fermented foods and drinks seems to be difficult. There are no tests for total gluten, just immunoassays, which generally detect a single epitope. There are estimated to be approximately 50 sequences that evoke a T-cell response of which nearly half are unknown and have no test. Gluten fragments...

      Gluten Allergy

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty, I really appreciate all the feedback. I have had 2 biopsies of my small intestine that are negative for celiac disease. I have not had the genetic testing though, so that is something I will look into, since the biopsies were done without a prior gluten challenge. I tried one once before an allergy test and was sick for days...

      Gluten Allergy

      Thank you so much Scott- hearing this actually brought tears to my eyes! It is so hard to explain to people/in-laws who question me all the time- I’ve considered just telling them I have celiac disease to stop the questions. Knowing I’m not alone helps tremendously. Thank you 🙏

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      So, as I understand this, there is uncertainty as to how much the gluten protein has to be degraded before it is safe and doesn't cause a reaction. There is also uncertainty as to how consistently hydrolysis processes degrade the gluten protein and there may be considerable variability from one processing setting to another. I suspect this also is a problem...

I’m a PhD in biology so I like reading these sorts of things). It’s been surprising to see how little is understood about the cause of fibromyalgia. My Vit D went low again on my last blood test so I know I’m back to being deficient there (it did go up for a while but back down again). Whomp whomp. So I’ll be both reading about and taking vitamins. Thanks again for your input. Really appreciate it.

There are estimated to be approximately 50 sequences that evoke a T-cell response of which nearly half are unknown and have no test. Gluten fragments remain that bind to IgA and IgG in vitro but this does not necessarily make them immunotoxic. Also, the fragments are "drastically reduced" by gastrodudenal digestion. PEP enzyme cannot cleave all proline sites and there is a large variation in the amount of residual gluten in gluten reduced beers. I.e. the safety of gluten reduced beer is uncertain.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty, I really appreciate all the feedback. I have had 2 biopsies of my small intestine that are negative for celiac disease. I have not had the genetic testing though, so that is something I will look into, since the biopsies were done without a prior gluten challenge. I tried one once before an allergy test and was sick for days. I do know that I don’t easily methylate my b vitamins but have to be careful taking methylated versions as they give me too much energy and I can’t sit still or sleep.    I also prefer magnesium glycinate but I only take it in the mornings because I have to take it with food to avoid stomach upset. I’ve often wondered if I have leaky gut syndrome and my symptoms indicate yes. I appreciate hearing what works well for you. I think I’ll focus on benfotiamine and see if I can tolerate it and/or it makes a difference. I really need to find a good nutritionist or naturopath. I’ll keep looking. In the meantime, thank you for your support!

There is also uncertainty as to how consistently hydrolysis processes degrade the gluten protein and there may be considerable variability from one processing setting to another. I suspect this also is a problem with other "gluten free" products made from wheat starch such as certain pizza brands.
