I finally found some Tinkyada pasta and could not decide whether to buy the Organic or the type with rice bran. For those of you who are loyal Tinkyada customers, which type is the best?

I've never noticed a difference. I use whichever based on how much I need since the bags are different sizes. Not the best method ...

Come to think about it, I've never noticed a difference, either :D I tend to buy based on the shape. I love the spaghetti for a regular pasta dinner, and the fissuli (I think that's close to how it's spelled :ph34r: ) is good as a side dish with butter or olive oil and grated cheese.

I buy the different shapes, too, but sometimes you can get them in either organic or the other. The non-organic bags are bigger.

Most of the shapes were available in both organic and rice bran (both are brown rice). I wasn't sure what the diff was. I bought organic since I wasn't sure what rice bran would be.

Thanks for your input.

I never noticed that there was an organic Tinkyada. I also buy based on the size of the bag and the shape of the pasta. I have found that the spaghetti tastes the most like regular pasta as it keeps its firmness better especially when re heated.

I lovve the rice bran pastas. They are not gummy and taste great. The reason I buy it though is the amount of fiber. Rice bran is an excellent source of fiber.

Haha...I never noticed there was a difference, either! :lol: I also buy based on the shape of the pasta. Glad I'm not the only one!

I didn't notice either. I buy what looks good at that moment in the store. But my favourite are the tri-coloured fusilli.

I've been buying the rice bran rather than organic because it's 80 cents cheaper for about the same size and Ty hasn't said anything about noticing a taste difference.

I did tell a lady at the health food store once that I didn't care if it was organic, just that it was gluten free :lol: . I think she was horrified :o .

I've eaten both...and I dont notice a difference in taste or texture or anything else. All the Tinkyada pastas taste the same to me. Yummy. :)

OK, I had to go look. My Penne are oeganic, my elbows are with rice bran and the tri-color twists don't say either, they're just brown rice pasta. (my store had a sale on Tinkyada a couple of weeks ago, and at the price they get, I bought several on sale!)

I'm a shape buyer!

I recently found that Tinkyada makes a WHITE rice pasta and it is easier for me to digest. (I've always had issues with rice.) So for my family I can cook the brown rice types but for me, I've been having the white rice spaghetti and it works better. Just thought I'd chime in even though it doesn't seem like you have any problems with rice. (yay!)

I'm another one that never noticed any of them were organic. I'm about to go check mine and see what I have. I buy mostly on shape. I like to mix the penne with the tri-color fusili a lot, but like others said I just get the different shapes based on what I'm having. I buy the elbows to make mac n' cheese, penne and tri-color fusili for everyday pasta and lasgana noodles or large shells for obviously either lasagna or stuffed shells. Ocassionally I'll get the fettucini or spaghetti if I'm in the mood for that. They all taste the same to me.

Count me in as a shape-buyer! ;) We have had the spirals in a chicken noodle dinner and shells in mac & cheese, but we're new at this so we haven't tried a lot.

I don't think I was clear in my original post. Most shapes are available in both organic and rice bran. The only reason I noticed the difference is because the way the store had them displayed. I just want to be sure to buy the type that has the best taste and texture (regardless of shape). From reading this thread it doesn't sound like there is much difference - if any - in the taste.

Thanks for all of your input!

I used the spirals (Organic) tonight to make mac n cheese. VERY YUMMY! The best pasta I have had in a year.

I figured out that the lavender colored bags are the organic and the rice bran bags are pink.

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
