does anyone have any favorite gluten-free pasta's? I am not a huge fan of rice pasta. I am also curious about pesto sauces. The jar i have lists "spices" as an ingrediant...so i'm a bit leery.

thanks

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

I know you mentioned you don't like rice past but Tinkayada is the best!!! I love it, tastes just like "normal" to me!

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.

thanks for the responses!! it seems i will have to check out this tinkyada...can you get it at most health food stores? i dont have a car so it is easier for me to shop at the thriftway by my house and the gluten-free pastas are few and far between. i really should go to a health food store and stock up!!

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.

I like Tinkyada much more than my old pastas.........if it has a "rice noodle taste" then I like rice noodles a lot! :D

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
