I made spaghetti squash tonight and served it w/spaghetti sauce.

My dd and I loved it! It came out like angel hair pasta & was delicious.

Has anyone else discovered this??

I also make spaghetti out of spaghetti squash! I haven't made the meal in awhile though.

Yes! I love it even with just a little butter on it! I've eaten it since way before I even heard of celiac ... it was just one of those strange foods my mom made when I was a kid, and I continue to make today.

I like it too! My dh likes it better than pasta. I also like to use the leftover squash by sauteeing it in olive oil with some garlic powder and then adding a bit of romano (sheep milk) cheese right before serving.

I eat a lot of spagetti squash too. I make an Italian marinara meat sauce to top it with or sometimes I just toss it with a little olive oil, sea salt, and other seasonings/herbs.

I tried it for the first time about 2 months ago. We liked it--I made it with Ragu sauce. I should make it again :D

I'm not sure where I've been, then, cuz I just heard of it last week. She took it for lunch today :D I hope it survives in the thermos!

She was so excited to have a "pasta".. can't have the wonderful Tinkyada pasta and doesn't like the quinoa-corn pasta.

Next time I make it, I may just make a few of them and ditch the wheat pasta that the rest of us have been eating. I'm finding that we are more and more becoming entirely gluten-free.

Ooh I love that stuff too. I cut it in half and bake it for about 30 minutes. It's really good.

Have been eating it for years....long before I'd even heard of Celiac. Yummmy! Anything I'd do with pasta, I've just about done with Spaghetti Squash.

Hi guys, what's actually Spaghetti Squash?

Just curiosity: I'm Italian, still living in Italy. I like to make fresh homemade spaghetti using atraditional extruder ("torchio"), which is a press. You mix the flour mix with egg and e.v. olive oil, you work the dough out for 5 min then you extrude it... and that's ready to boil!!!

spagetti squash is from squash, and you get all the little "håir like" pieces out of the center, and can serve them. At least I think that is what it is.

My mom made it once and it was really good!

I could never boil my spagetti squashes because so far the ones available at the store have been HUGE, I wouldn't get it in a pot!

I have a question, is spagetti squash considered more of a starchy vegetable like a potato or turnip and etc., or is it more like zuchinni and summer squash as far as carbohydrate content??

Spagetti squash IS considered more of a starchy vegetable; a carb like veggie YES!

It doesn't taste like any other veggie...

I tried spaghetti squash for the first time last night. I made a sauce with ground elk, spinach and tomato paste. It's so good. I can't eat rice or corn so I happy I found a substitute for pasta.

You can cut it in half or quarters with a cleaver first, and then it will fit into a much shorter pan.

Ok, good to know. Would it get all watery or something with the insides exposed and submerged by the boiling water? Maybe I am not invisioning this right, I assumed when they say 'boil' you boil the whole thing, uncut in a huge pot submerged in water.

Well, don't submerge it, just put enough water in the pot to steam it. It takes about 15-25 minutes, and you'll want to check once or twice to make sure there's enough water (about an inch) so it doesn't go dry at the bottom. And it won't get soggy, but it's nice to let it drain in a collander. (I generally use a sauteuse pan for this, which is about 3" tall, which is why I use this method. ;-) )

Thanks for clarifying this. So basically you just do it similar to baking it in the oven, with a little water on the bottom of the pan in order to create a steaming effect, but you're doing it on top of the stove.

Covered, or uncovered, or does it matter?

That is also the way I make artichokes too.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
