Any Reactions To Tinkyada"s Brand Of Rice Pastas?

I seem to be having adverse reactions to the Tinkyada brand of gluten-free rice pastas lately, which hadn't been a problem in the past for me. Has anyone else been having problems? I am wondering if they've changed something with the manufacturing process or the ingredients being used or what???

I've never had a problem with the Tinkyada--could it possibly be the sauce, or something else you're eating along with it?

I've never had a reaction to the pasta's, they are a dedicated facility and are really good about that. BUT I have had reactions to the sauces with the pasta. I kept reacting to Classico's pasta sauces (all of them are gluten free but contain soy) so I switched to Amy's pasta sauces and am not having any problems.

No, I make my own "sauces" from scratch, using canola oil and various vegetables and/or cream.... It just seems like everytime I eat that brand of pasta, I am reacting to it now, or so it seems. I've only noticed this to to happen in the past 2 months.

some people react to rice... have you noticed any problems with other foods with a rice base?

michelleL Apprentice

No, I haven't had any problems with rice... I eat a lot of rice with no problems.

I can my own pasta sauce and the last couple of months or so I've gotten sick when I've eaten it. I've also noticed that chips and salsa make me sick. I assumed it was a cross contamination issue with the chips but I'm starting to think tomatos are the problem intsead. I've eaten the Tinkyada and tortilla chips without the tomatos last week and did fine.

I'm hoping that my gut is still healing and maybe I can add tomatos back at some point. :)

Tomatoes have been giving me issues too, latetly. Odd new developement there. It may be a tomato thing. I've never had a problem with tinkyada though.

Try eating the pasta plain...all by itself and see if you get the same reaction.

Yeah, that's my thought as well.

I know that more and more tomatoes are genetically modified these days. I just read a report from 2001 that a GM tomato was designed that could be used to deliver vaccines and antibodies! Yikes!! What are these people thinking? Here's the link: Open Original Shared Link

I once thought I had a reaction to Tinkyada's pastas. I had been glutened earlier in the week, and then had some homemade mac and cheese with tinkyada, made by my mom. Had serious troubles for the rest of the day, but didn't match my normal Celiac symptoms. Realized around this time that it was the high amounts of dairy/casein after being glutened that bothered me---not the tinkyada. Thank goodness!

Are you getting any gluten at all? I've noticed that if I've been glutened, I get sick off "safe" foods just because my body hates me at that point and can't digest properly.

Hope that you find out whatever the problem is!!!!

Absolutely not, I wouldn't know what to do if I reacted to them. Sorry :) , but that product is a staple in our diet. Maybe, try not eating them for a few weeks and reintroduce and see what reaction you have.

Nope. Never.

I've replaced the pasta with a different brand, Grandma M-something (I'll have to get the full name later - it's a company in Wisconsin operated by a woman who has celiac and is extremely food sensitive, or so I have heard. She has the best corn chips I have ever tasted, by the way) for a little while with the usual pasta toppings, and I didn't have any more of those reactions... So I don't know - I think it's the Tinkyada pasta, unless I am getting hyper sensitive now. But thanks for getting back to me.

I have never had a problem with tinkyada but I hear that BiAglut has changed their recipe. It's still wf/gluten-free. I actually liked BiAglut the best then tinkyada next...

night shade veggies give alot of people trouble but NAET can take care of that.......

It's odd how some foods effect us in different ways. I know my family loves the gluten-free brownie from Outback, but I ate two bites from one and was the sickest I have been since going wf/gluten-free.....

.. go figure.....

Grandma Ferndon...she makes GOOD stuff. I love her Peanut Butter cookies, taste like the "real" thing, only it is pricey.

And I sometimes have issues with tomatoes, tomatos have a lot of acid in them.

That gluten-free brownie at Outback has NO Flour in it. It is a flourless brownie - you can find recipes on the internet for these. Some of these recipes rely heavily on nuts. These can give many people the Big D problem.

ok, I'll chime in as the oddball here.... :) we started gluten-free life with tinkyada pastas, thought they were great yadda yadda, but eventually I came to avoid them and all pasta with added rice BRAN. It seems harder to digest that way. So I've been getting Rizopia brand rice pasta which is just rice. I like it better too.

no issues with Tinkyada for me ever

RiceGuy Collaborator

So far my only reaction to Tinkyada has been "Wow, this is good!" :)

Hope it stays that way...

I've never had a problem with Tinkyada's before. I eat it all the time with Prego traditional sauce.

Carriefaith Enthusiast

I am very sensitive and I don't have problems with Tinkyada pasta. Maybe you could try contacting the company to see if there are any possible cross contamination issues in the factory.

I've never had a problem with them. In my opinion, best pasta ever made. :D

Guest BERNESES

I haven't had a problem either. any chance it's the pan or colander you're using? Don't you hate this? You feel like an insane detective looking for a needle in a haystack. I hope you find out what it is and that it's NOT the Tinkyada. Best, B

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
