UK or Ireland: Best value on 100% brown rice pasta?

Recommended Posts

I love pasta but I also experience additional abdominal pain if I eat regular wheat pasta so I have been enjoying Tesco Brown Rice Fusilli most days for some time now - until Covid-19. It has been out of stock for months so I have tried alternatives like Romma or Kelkin but they are a mix of other ingredients, corn etc, not 100% brown rice, and at times I really, really miss the fibre.

I have found I can order 8 bags of 500g Doves Farm Brown Rice Fusilli for £3.26 each or £6.52 per KG from Amazon, which is the price I am trying to beat. Is there somewhere I can order 100% brown rice fusilli or penne for better value? I am happy to bulk buy. I live in Ireland, so I can only order online from the UK. The Doves Farm website lists their pasta as out of stock and Abel & Cole will not deliver here or to a parcel forwarding company.

For anyone else looking for 100% brown rice pasta reasonably priced Tesco have told me their buyer is querying their supplier but I have also found an alternative product: SUMA BROWN RICE FUSILLI PASTA- 500G.

This works out ever so slightly more expensive than Tesco at £5.18/€5.70 per KG but it is the best value I have found, Soulbia offer free delivery to the Republic of Ireland and the the UK for order over £50 (20 bags of pasta), and the discount code welcome grants a 15% saving on the first order.

They are running low on stock of fusilli but expect more in next Tuesday.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      Thanks I am mostly looking for everyday staples and easy meal ideas nothing too specialty if possible.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?
