I have eaten it when I first was diagnosed. I'm not going to lie to you--it's not very good, especially when you compare it to Tinkyada. However, it's alright if there's nothing else available (and there wasn't for me when I was first diagnosed), but it does not heat up very well or hold up very well. If you can find Tinkyada, I highly recommend that instead.

Tinkyada is rice, but don't judge till you try it! I made baked mac and cheese with it the other night and it was excellent! I really couldn't tell the difference between that and glutened pasta.

I made spaghetti with another brand and it wasn't so good... :P

I eat the Mrs. Leepers rice pasta. I have tried the spaghetti and the shapes. I may not have cooked the shapes enough, but the spaghetti was good. My gluten eating husband ate the spaghetti just like normal, he had no idea. I have never seen Tinkyada in my area.

MMMmmmmm, Mrs Leeper's corn rotelli is my favorite! To cook it, bring your water to a boil, add the rotelli, then cook for 6 minutes. Drain it immediately. If you cook it longer, or let it sit in the hot water, it becomes mushy and tasteless. Only cook what you will eat at that time, as it does not reheat well for leftovers.

I am not crazy about the Mrs. Leepers pastas... but we LOVE Tinkyada around here. I get the brown rice pasta with rice bran, it's got a really great taste and texture and my gluten eating hubby loves it... says it's better than wheat pasta...

plantime I followed your directions & cooked the noodles 6 min thanks for the advice if I would have followed the directions they would have been mushy. My family loved them they smelled just like egg noodles. We usually have egg noodles with chili., but these were just as good kids loved them, husband also said they were pretty good. thanks again

Mrs. Leepers does make a decent beef strogonoff, chicken alfredo, cheeseburger macaroni and tuna alfredo -- they are the only gluten-free company I have seen that sells these mixes..

I love thier Tuna "helper" and the chicken one, though I just add tuna, chicken is too much work. Its a great one dish meal on those lazy nights. My non-gluten-free boyfriend loves it too.

You're welcome. Glad I could help. I love mac and cheese, and will put tuna in my pasta any time! I will have look for the helper meals from Mrs. Leeper's. So far, I can only find the pasta.

Corn pastas are what I tried first...... I must say, I thought it was yucky! (no offense)

Tinkyada tastes very similar to "regular" pasta-and I am a picky gluten free person.

I bought both the Mrs. Leepers tuna helper and the chicken alfredo. It was not until I got them home I saw that the tuna product was had corn pasta in it, the chicken alfredo has rice pasta. We had the chicken dish at a support group which is why we looked for it as we really enjoyed it. But I wasn't impressed with the tuna dish so I think I just don't care for corn pasta...except for Maggianno's but that's imported from Italy after all. Tonight we'll be making the chk. alfreado so hopefully it will be as good as what we ate at our meeting.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.
