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.

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

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
