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.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
