I would love to know what others do. I use tykanda (sp?) and while it is great the night I cook it, it falls apart when I reheat it in the microwave.

yeah, my pasta get all dry and hard when I try to reheat it. It would be so much better if the pasta didn't have to be cooked every night you wanted it, and if you made extra you could be able to save it since pasta is so expensieve.

Mine still gets a mushier texture. But it does not get hard. Here is what I do.

I put the sauce over the pasta and into a gladware container. When re-heating. I leave the lid on the container. This keeps the steam and moisture in the container. Helps to keep it from drying out. It works well for me. It isn't like FRESH pasta, but it's good enough for me.

Sauce it before you store it, if you can. Reheat very lightly, preferably heating up other items and using those items to heat the pasta the rest of the way. And don't reheat it uncovered. It's not perfect, but something.

I've only tried some gluten-free quinoa spaghetti that my Wild Oats had, but it reheated just fine. I had the spaghetti sauce mixed in with it, left the lid on the container but vented up in a corner, and nuked it for just over a minute. Came out fine.

Oh, and the qunioa spaghetti was very tasty. It was very much like the regular spaghetti. It was my first try for a gluten-free pasta and it was a positive.

thanks for your suggestions, but see I mostly like my pasta with just butter. Know how to reheat plain pasta??

Put a teensy bit of water in there with it. Maybe just mist it a bit or something. It needs moisture in there to reheat properly. I bought these new tupperware called cleverware that has a little vent in the top so you can microwave stuff covered. They've been great for reheating gluten free things in the microwave that don't reheat well uncovered.

even plain pasta should be fine as long as you keep it covered. if it's uncovered, it'll dry out. also, it will help if you butter it before you put it up for leftovers. in combination with keeping it covered, that should work well. (the fat 'coating' - very light though it may be - will help keep water from escaping the food.)

I always cook more gluten-free pasta than I need and then freeze what is left over in plastic bags. When I use it, I put it frozen in a colander and run hot water over it. The hot water heats the pasta and thaws it at the same time. I do the same thing if I am reheating the pasta and it has been in the refrigerator. I have done this for years with non gluten-free and now the gluten-free noodles. Sometimes I put a little oil on the pasta after running hot water over it. I do this with rice noodles, Annie's thai noodles with basil.... I have never had a problem with it becoming mushy! .....

Please post your results so we'll all learn what works best! So far I've just been using my leftover pasta cold in salads so haven't had the disappointment of mush or hard stuff... but come winter I'll need HOT food!

don't worry, I'll make sure I post the results!! I have 2 batches of pasta, one I put butter on before putting it in the refrigerator and I'll try reheating it tomorrow, and one I did nothing to it, but I may put either water in the tupperware and then heat it up and I may sepaarately try putting it in a strainer and heating up the water and spraying it on the pasta. But I'll be sure to keep you all posted and tell which result worked the best for me:)

what works the best for me is freezing the leftovers in ziplock freezer bags, when I'm ready to use it I cut the bag open and thaw it in a pot with boiling water for just a few minutes. Then drain again. Works perfect every single time.

i put a little bit of water into the bowl or container with the pasta and put it in the micro with a paper towel over it.. seems to make it a little moister, but mine sometimes falls apart too

I just heat mine up in the conventional oven with or without sauce. It always turns out....unless I forget and leave it in too long.

I use Rizopia pasta and it reheats exactly like it was fresh from the pot. If you go to their web site there are cooking instructions and recipes. I think adding a little olive oil while cooking helps and to not overcook as well.

Judy, what a great picture. Now, I know who I am talking to - he he. I love all the computer talented people on here.

What I do when I reheat pasta, is just put it in a saucepan with a lid. Ad some moisture (ie. olive oil or something like that) and slowly reheat. I never have a problem this way.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
