We are planning on going gluten free in about a week and would find it helpfull not to waste money on pasta that isn't any good. We usually eat speghetti, alfredo, and bowtie pasta's. What brands have you found to be close to "normal" pasta if any?

Tinkyada tastes the most like "normal" pasta, but you MUST rinse it after cooking. It takes a bit longer than regular pasta to cook, but it's worth it!

Definately try Tinkyada. It's very good--I can even find it at my local Acme!

It's an occasional treat now, due to intolerance, but the spaghetti tastes just like 'regular'. :)

Thanks guys! I guess I know what to look for now. I just hope one of our local gracery stores carries it!

I add my vote to Tinkyada. I didn't discover it until months into my gluten free diet....man, I wish I knew about it earlier! I tried them ALL (all other kinds)...and threw them all out. Love this one. They sell spaghetti, fettucine, elbows, penne, spirals, shells, large shells (for stuffing), lasagna, (etc., etc.). However, sometimes stores only carry 'some'-my local grocery store carries the penne and elbows. I order the rest or buy them at a place a little further away that carries them all.

I know we're in the minority but we don't like Tinkayada at all - our favorite is the Orgran rice and corn pasta.

All this time and I have ONLY used the Trader Joe's Brown Rice pastas, and I like them.....just bought Tinkyada - wonder how it compares? Will find out soon.....

I've used Tinkyada, Trader Joe's, Ancient Harvest, and Mrs. Leepers Corn. The corn pasta sucks, the other three are all good. I prefer Tinkyada for the 'closest to regular', but Ancient Harvest (quinoa/corn blend) is also good for something different. I don't even bother rinsing the Tinkyada.

I like Tinkyada too - it's the only one I've tried so far. I don't think it's quite as flavorful as "regular" pasta (I would eat regular pasta with butter & salt) , but the texture of it is very, very close.

Tinkyada is hands down the favorite in our household. There are other gluten free pastas that we can stomach, but Tinkyada is virtually "normal".

I just went gluten free within the past week and have used pasta twice. Tinkyada is delicious. I used it for spaghetti and then the spirals to make homemade chicken noodle soup. my boyfriend said the noodles in the soup were better than regular noodles are!! :P

I also like the Tinkyada pastas - as does my boyfriend and roomate!

I also use the Trader Joe's brown rice pastas, but I like the texture of the Tinkyada better.

I love BI-Aglut pasta. Delicious!!! Tastes like real pasta!! Most of the pasta takes only 8 minutes even though the package says 5 min. Much better than Tinkyada in my opinion. Takes a LOT less time to cook. Less slimy too. I'm a very picky eater. Loved my pasta before celiac disease!! Took me a loooong time to find out this was THE BEST pasta.

i second the bi-aglut!!!!! it's the only pasta i can eat and enjoy completely plain (like i used to do all the time with normal pasta) it's kind of expensive though

Tinkyada is good for shaped pasta. I buy the rice vermicelli (cheapo stuff in the Asian foods section) for spaghetti substitute though, and it's very good once you get the sauce on it.

I heart Tinkyada, as I have mentioned many different times before -- I have a pantry virtually stocked with every brand they make (yum)... but I also wanted to say that I like the BioNaturé pasta -- it's made from potato, soy and rice... It's my sisters favorite over Tinkyada too...

Good luck!

I love that pasta plain with just butter on it!!! You have to check around for prices though. You can find more decent prices different places.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
