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.

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ? I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet. Rebound muscle pain so intense ...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
