I am trying to branch out a little in our gluten free-everyone is eating it tonight for dinner world...those of you that have been around do your kids (gluten-free and non gluten-free-ers) like the Tinkyada pasta or do you have another brand that they like?? <_<

Do you make your own sauce?? If you buy it, do you know if you can get a gluten free alfredo sauce?? I know some red sauces that are gluten-free.

Tinkyada is the only gluten-free pasta brand my family will eat. They even like the spinach fettacine. Friends have had it and not known it was any different than "regular" pasta. My child also likes Annie's brand gluten-free Macaroni and Cheese.

My whole family likes Tinkyada. We eat the spaghetti, elbow macaroni and spirals and have tried the lasagne too. They're all good. I don't ever make "regular" noodles and have served it to company numerous times. I make my own sauce, so sorry I can't help you.

Went to a family gathering a couple weeks ago in Canada, and my grandmother surpeised me with a gluten-free lasagna she made with Tinkyada noodles. It was so good I started crying. :)

Tinkyada is the BEST pasta ever!!!!!!!!!! (notice I didn't say gluten free, it's just the best ever!!!)

anyway, we eat it, hubby couldn't tell the difference and he is "pasta picky" because he isn't gluten free.

The kids love it, it doesn't get all mushy like normal "gluten-free" pasta does.

I give it an A++

Thanks...my kids are kind of finiky when it comes to pasta and I just hate to make a batch of something and then they all turn their noses up at it!!

Ihave also found a good alfredo sauce recipe (I hope!!)

We will see how it goes tonight...we also make cinnimon rolls last night for the kids this morning and they were thrilled to have those again!! :D

Thanks for your help!!

no kids, but I like tinkyada, and my husband's family likes it (and they're italian!).

(I make my own sauces, but am CF so wouldn't make alfredo anyway...)

All my kiddos, and hubby, love Tinkyada. It's the best we've tried so far....the only brand we haven't tried is the expensive Italian one, that I can't remember the name of.

As far as sauces, we use Ragu, or the Walmart brand. Both have gluten free sauces. From what I have found, most sauces are gluten free, but I always call to double check. The great thing about calling too, is that many companies will send you coupons and a gluten free product list.

Do you mean RISO pasta?

My husband went to an italian market last weekend and showed up with a bag of Riso Fettucinni. Man, was so expensive...I'm gonna try it this weekend with sundried tomato and basil pesto.

We're big fans of Tinkyada here. It cooks up so nicely and doesn't become a gluey mess if overcooked. It tastes like regular pasta, even my autistic son can't tell the difference.

I can't help with the sauce though, I make my own.

Classico sauces are gluten-free, even the white sauces. I love their alfredo on some tinkayada pasta. Tasty stuff!! Enjoy.

Which of the Classico Sauces are gluten-free?

All of the Classico red and white sauces are gluten-free.

I've recently switched all of the "family" pasta in our house to tinkyada, hubby & the other kids have not noticed ;) . It tastes just like regular wheat pasta--we love it!

My family loves Tinkyada also. We have just recently switched from wheat pasta. I am dairy allergic as well so unfortunately can't have the alfredo. The vegan alfredo that was really good has soy products in it which I'm also allergic too. Anyone interested in a vegan alfredo sauce let me know and I'll post it. Has a lot of soy in it. Actually, I'm not sure it's gluten free. The vegan sour cream might have glycerides in it. Didn't I read somewhere that that has gluten in it or was that a mistake. The sour cream is tofutti better than sour cream. Since I'm not eating soy I haven't checked to see if some of my old favs are gluten free or not. :(

Ditto - we switched because I threw all the regular pasta away and they had no choice. Everyone LOVES it - including the neighbors and my dad.

I have tried others but was already spoiled by the BEST.

I tried the Tinkyada lasagna noodles last week for the first time and I was SO impressed. We used Mrs. Leeper's before that and it was "just ok". My kids and my husband all thought it was the real thing. I haven't tried the elbows yet, but they're calling my name and yelling for me to make macaroni. :D By the way...does anyone know how to make a good macaroni and cheese "cheese sauce"? I use the recipe on the :ph34r: velveeta :ph34r: and it just doesn't turn out good.

Go to walmart, get the "real" thing. Kraft puts the "cheese" out in a shaker can. Its the same powder thats in thier mac and cheese boxes. Its gluten-free and many ppl here use it with great success. I have only seen it at Walmart, but you might see it at other grocery stores. It looks like a shaker for putting cheese on popcorn. Often found near the "shelf stable" cheeses.

I have a vegan recipe I use. It uses cashews and water to make a cashew milk. Plus other ingredients including yeast flakes. I've heard those are a no-no but haven't had any definitive answer. Does anyone know why yeast flakes would be bad? :( If they are o.k. then I have two "cheese" recipes I combine to make macaroni and cheese. :D

If you are going to use regular cheese I don't have an exact recipe, but block cheese is much better and much healthier than velveeta. I used to use velveeta when I was a teenager to make macaroni and cheese. Don't remember what I did but it's probably similar to cheese. You would want to use both cheddar and monterey jack. Make a white sauce add the cheese and seasonings (garlic and onion powders). If I remember correctly I also used a little bit of celery salt or ground celery seeds. I'm sorry I don't have measurements. I just brought my family back off of a vegan diet as I am allergic to the main staples of soy and wheat. I am also allergic to dairy so I can't make that mac & cheese anymore. I have a feeling that's a more permanent allergy since I hadn't eaten cheese except at church potlucks when it couldn't be avoided for 3 years. Maybe it's just that I was allergic to wheat/soy already and have had some damage I didn't know about. :unsure:

Hope this helps a little bit.

I used to make the one in the Betty Crocker cook book - it always worked and never failed.

Everyone in my house loves Tinkyada. The first time I made it my husband asked what I was going to eat because he couldn't believe it was gluten-free. That is the only gluten free pasta we will eat now. I have to try the lasagna noodles. I used to make lasagna all the time before going gluten free. My husband has been asking for some, but I am scared to use regular gluten free noodles.

I've seen a lot of products that include nutritional yeast and are gluten-free. Here's a couple:

I do the cashew stuff on pasta too and it's awesome. You don't even need the yeast. Just use 1.5 cups raw cashews, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon italian herbs, 1 teaspoon dill, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt and lemon (1/4 cup?) Blend in a blender. I think that's the recipe (going off the top of my head - I make it often. I actually only use 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic, onion and salt.) It's great on everything, including pasta.

Love Tinkyada and so does my son (who is not gluten-free yet). I make mac & cheese with the Kraft can of mac & cheese powder and it tastes just like the stuff from the box...YUM!! DS had 3 bowls the other night!

DD won't touch it, but she hasn't even tasted it (she is 3.5). If it doesn't look like Kraft Mac & Cheese, she wont' touch it.

For Lasagna I use Debole's No Boil noodles. No one can even tell that they aren't wheat.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
