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

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      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.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
