I just bought a TON of gluten-free pasta, so I'll check the labels for the name brands when I get up in the am (it's 12:57am in Pa.)

Any rice noodles from the Chinese food sections of a store (ie, Wegman's) should be ok--just double check the ingredient list to make sure.

I'll keep you posted :)

I am not a big fan of any gluten-free pastas so I basically cut pasta out of my diet. The one kind I do like is Knotta Pasta. It is a rice pasta but it is not chewy at all and has great flavor/consistency. Other than that, I have not had any luck with gluten-free pastas and I have tried a lot of different kinds. Hope this helps! :D

Tinkyada pasta is great! My favorite variety is the veggie spirals. My gluten eating husband loves it and so does my non celiac seven year old friend. Last Easter I made lasagna with Tinkyada noodles ... that was the first time I had eaten lasagna in over 20 years ... what a treat! I'm so happy that my local health food store has started carrying Tinkyada pasta ... I order it by the case and get a 10% discount :D

Tinkyada is the best! My non gluten-free family like it better than wheat pasta.

I also like Tinkyadas. But Quinoa pasta (by Ancient Harvest) is also good, if you can have corn.

I am a bit too picky when it comes to pasta. I thought that Tinkyada was okay as far as it goes, but it wasn't satisfactory to me. It still has a sort of "rice noodle" quality to it.

The best gluten-free pasta I've had yet is a modified version of a recipe I found in Bette Hagman's "Gluten Free Gourmet" cookbook (the one with garbonzo/fava flour in it). I make a large batch, roll and cut it, and then freeze it for use later. It cooks in about 3 minutes from frozen. It tastes like regular homemade pasta with a mild nutty flavor; the texture is much better than rice pasta and infinitely better than corn pasta.

But when I am going for pure convenience, I will use Tinkyada as the best "instant" option I've found yet.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By ekelsay · Posted

      Today, I received the results of my Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Ab, IgA test. I am not sure how to interpret the results. I have left a message for the doctor that requested the test but have not heard back. The results stated that the normal range is from 0.00 - 4.99 FLU. My results came back at 92.08. Is this concerning? This seems extremely high for someone who has reached the age of 50 before finding out he has celiac disease.  The reason that I was administered the test in the first place is due to bloating issues that started about a year ago. I met with a Gastroenterologist and after a short question and answer session she wanted to test me for celiac disease and a bacteria test via the H. Pylori Breath Test. She seemed more concerned with the fact that I am a healthy male suffering from Anemia. Is it possible the anemia could be a result of celiac disease? I have been on an iron supplement for the better part of 5 years.
