One of the families in our church just had her forth child, so everyone cooking meals for them... this week we got to cook for them, and we made Baked Zitti and some one else delivered it for us. Well as most of you know, NO GLUTEN WILL EVER ENTER MY HOME so we use Tinkyada pasta and did not say anything...

Well on Thursday the woman said to my wife "How did you know that Baked Zitti was my favorite meal!?!" and she siad "it was great!". :ph34r: Then we told her it was gluten free, and she was shocked :lol:

That's great Vincent. The more people know that gluten free can actually taste good the better.

thats awesome. I made chicken noodle soup with them yesterday and fed it to my boyfriend. Although he knows I am gluten free he said he liked the tinkyada noodles in the soup better then the wheat ones i used to use. This was his first experience with a gluten free meal as i just started the diet.

I love it when people are shocked by gluten-free foods tasting good. I had a coworker, meaning well, today say "You can't eat anything!" (The only things I truely absolutely avoid are gluten and dairy; seems like a cakewalk in comparison to what it could be!) But it's just sooo not true! And I still get "oh, your lunch looks delicious" comments. :huh:

That's great!

I just did a similar thing -- made a lasagna and my boyfriend ate some of the leftover when he got home from work and had no idea that it was gluten free - and he said it was so good, and it was so nice that I made a lasagna FOR HIM -- and he was sorry I couldn't eat it ! HA... yeah right, I'm not THAT nice to him.. ha ha.

:)

LOVE tinkyada!!!

That's great! I had a similar thing happen yesterday.

My neighbor is a carpenter and we live in a 90 year old house, so he's done some work here. He stopped by a little after 6:30 to fix an exterior door that didn't close ... my kids were eating spaghetti and I was watching the news for the celiac story ... just as the story came on he walked in, I called him back to the family room and said to sit down for a minute, so he saw the story from beginning to end, he fixed the door and I sent him off with a plate of Tinkyada spaghetti, which tasted just normal to him!

He's also going to have his kids tested because of the news story. His ex-wife has fibromyalgia and migraines, has suffered with depression ... I've tried to talk her into being tested ... but he saw the connection right away and because of the genetic part of the disease, wants his kids tested.

It's great to get the word out any way you can!

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
