Just wondering what kind of pasta sauces are safe out there. I read the ingredients, and I am not really sure why some sauces wouldn't be safe. Help!! I want some spaghetti!

Well, I play it safe and make my own. I use tomato sauce, garlic and red, green and yellow peppers with oregano, basil, onions, mushrooms etc.

Prego Traditional and Ragu Old World Rich and Meaty are listed on the Celiac Smart List.

You are going to want to make sure that you have a seperate colander for your gluten free pasta. You don't want to use the same one that has been used for regular pasta in the past.

Also, if you are making regular pasta in another pot for other members of your family, make sure that you stir the pots with different spoons.

I don't have to make regular pasta, because my son (who doesn't have Celiac) really likes the Tinkyada that I eat. I almost wish that he didn't so I could give him the cheap stuff, and I could have more leftovers for lunches.

Enjoy! :D

Thanks, Oh and i know about the seperate everything- i've been gluten-free for over a year. But, I've had a few different sauces, and I am always concerned. My fiance eats my gluten-free food, even though he is not gluten-free... that makes everything easier!!

Any more "saucy" suggestions!?

After buying some pricey gluten-free pasta sauces at Whole Foods I felt pretty silly when my Univ. of Chicago gluten-free goodie basket arrived and it included Ragu Old World in it. Ragu is great for making your own pizza if you have a crust you like...I don't yet but I'm trying Chebe this weekend. I hated the Gluten Free Bakehouse pizza crusts from WF's. I ate the toppings off and noted I should NOT buy that item anymore.

Question: what brands (if any) of pizza crust, bagels and/or eng. muffins have you guys found out there that are decent?

I really liked the Chebe pizza crust. I thought it was really good and even better the next day. The chebe breadsticks are also really good. I'm really weird about some of the gluten-free food and I really want it to taste like "normal" food and I think the Chebe crust is the closest to normal that I've had in a long time.

Vydorscope- I got a whole new colander for my pasta. I noticed that after I thoroughly cleaned mine that there was still a pasta residue. I just got a cheapy colander for my gluten-free pastas.

yep--I would (and did)..I had a plastic one, too. Just didn't trust that all those little holes were clean of gluten. I got a nice porcelain one at Target--not expensive at all.

Don't skip the spaghetti, do what I did before I got the new strainer. Just take the spaghetti out of the pot with tongs or a spaghetti fork thing. Scoop it out, hold it over the pot for a second to drain and put it in the dish. Same result--little bit more work.

Most if not all of the Classico Sauces are gluten-free. It's Heinz, so its a label reading scenario.

I mostly make my own, but when I'm in that "I just worked all day I'll be d$@ned if I'm cooking dinner too" head space I like to have a bottle of this stuff around to use.

Vydorscope - go to a dollar store. I got a plastic strainer there for $1. I prefer plastic to our heavy stainless one and sure enough you can't get the gluten pasta residue off the plastic ones.

If you never ever use gluten pasta in the colander and it's been thoroughly cleaned, I wouldn't worry about it. BUT, if you want to be real cautious, colanders are cheap. I have one of my own but live in a house with two gluten eaters.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS.  I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input and will let you know if I have a problem with wheat again. I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.
