Tinkyada Pasta?

I saw something on this forum about tinkyada pasta? I am wondering what that is and where I can find it, because we haven't found pasta that my step son will eat. We tried corn pasta that we can buy in bulk at our local health food store and it was disgusting. He loves mac and cheese and is the one thing he has had a hard time being without, but we just can't find anything good, and rice pasta is nasty. Can anyone help me out?

Tinkyada is the best!! I honestly think if I made a pasta dish with it and had a side by side taste test with "regular" pasta you wouldn't be able to tell the difference!! I can get it at my local grocery store (not all their varieties, but a lot of them) and you can also order them on line from almost any gluten-free grocery web site.

Hi daltons,

Here is a link that will tell you all about Tinkyada.

Open Original Shared Link

I can find it at Whole Foods, and grocery stores like Shoprite, Wegmans, and Acme. It's either in the regular pasta aisle, or in the natural foods section.

It's very good--lots of people here love it. Just be careful not to overcook it :)

I had the health food store order if for me a case a time. Some of the bigger health food stores where we live stock some of it anyway. Tinkyada is the most wonderful thing--totally saved my sanity now that we are gluten-free at our house. :) Kendra

Tinkyada is by far the best! I had bad experiences with corn pasta, too ;). It was so disappointing. About 9 months or so into the diet, my mom found Tinkyada....it has been a life saver. We use it all the time....even serve it to others. When we are with my family or my husband's family, everyone eats it (I'm the only Celiac)....and have served it in pasta salads at football tailgates (to a slew of non-Celiacs).

I can get them at Giant, Farm Fresh, Kroger, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and health food stores. Or you can order online. If a local store doesn't carry it, I would ask them to. Its great to be able to pick it up with my regular things at Giant.

Enjoy :)

Tinkyada is the best and I too buy it by the case. I have been able to find it at all the health food stores, so maybe I'm just lucky.

If your son likes Kraft Mac & cheese you can buy the powdered cheese in a blue canister. It is usually near the pasta and green canister Kraft parmesan cheese. I wouldn't recommend taking the cheese packets out of the normal Kraft mac & cheese because the packet sitting in all the pasta seems scary and I got sick trying that, but the cheese packet is gluten-free. I love that mac & cheese and buy the canisters and just add butter and milk.

I'm just going to agree with everyone else - I LOVE Tinkyada pasta!! It's the best. I am thinking about buying in bulk. I get it from either Stop & Shop or Whole Foods or if I'm near any kind of discount health food store, I'll buy there (usually in NYC).

I make mac & cheese alot with this, and my boyfriend LOVES it, he likes it better than any other kind. I usually get the tri-color spirals, cook it in half water, half gluten-free chix stock (herb ox), and then mix in a little butter & shred cheddar cheese in - YUM...

:) Hope you find it and like it as much as everyone else!

Anyone know where we can buy this in bulh at a discounted price? I love this and use it alot. I have resorted to buying most gluten-free items in bulk via the internet, but I have not had any success in finding a site that offers this at a savings. The lowest price I can find is around 2.99. I would be more than willing to buy a few cases at a time if the price is right!!

I LOVE Tinkyada too! My kids cannot tell the difference AT ALL! My daughter likes it better (she wasn't a big pasta person before we switched, but she likes it better...how funny).

My Whole Foods sells it for $2.99 - that's the CHEAPEST I've seen it anywhere - even online. So, I'll keep buying it there. Someone I know told me that Trader Joes makes Brown rice pasta too - I'm going to try that this time - for $1.99/lb. I know we had it a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago, just to check it out. But I can't remember if I liked it or not.

My grocery store sells it for $3.99 a bag. :(

I was REALLY dissapointed with DeBoles. IT was really sticky. And I know i didn't over or under cook it. It wasn't mushy or gummy. And i did rinse it like they tell you too but it was just not right. I have not been brave enough to try corn pasta - mostly because of the comments I've seen on here.

GOOD LUCK!

If you can't get Tinkyada, try Orgran rice or rice and millet. I really like it and my non-celiac family eats it too. I use Trader Joe's Brown Rice Penne too but I usually use a cream or oil based sauce with it because I think that matches better with this pasta. I didn't like the corn pasta or the DeBoles. I haven't tried Tinkyada yet.

I buy Tinkyada at Wegmans and sometimes I stock up when it goes on sale for 1.99 a bag. It is the best pasta and it tastes like regular pasta.

Ditto on the tinkyada love. I serve it to the unsuspecting and they never know (until the eat it, remember I can't have pasta, and then I tell them). :P

HI. Tinkydaya pasta is wonderful.. MY daughters diet consists mainly pasta and a few other things. I get Tinkydaya at Whole Foods, Some Stop N' Shops sell it (in NY), also you can email them they will answer, and tell you where you can it, or call, you may be able to order it from them. IT is a rice pasta, but its made differently. It is made of stone ground rice (some of them stone ground brown rice) my daughter loves it.. Most of them are made to be al dente, most of them will not get mushy, they have one call little rice dreams, its shapes, this one will get very soft. Some have rice bran which my daughters nutritionist says is ok.. because it is rice.. good luck. Mouth :)

[tinkydaya tinkydaya is great! I don't know if I have gluten intolerance but I want to just eliminate it because of ibs or something no wheat. My mom ran out of wheat pasta for rice pilaf so she used these noodle and fried them in oil and they browned! She was shocked how they work just llike regular wheat noodle. She made the rest of the rice pilaf you know with white rice and chicken broth and garlic. She told no one about it and my family didn't notice a difference at all. looked good with the tri tip and potatoe salad which I um can't eat either. Oh well hummmm.

It's a very good product and will fool anyone that it's gluten-free. I have started seeing it in my local Shop Rite supermarket too.

Are you saying that Tinkydaya is not gluten free? The packages that I buy are marked gluten freee, wheat free, etc, made from stone ground rice and water, or stone ground brown rice and water, one says stone ground rice and rice bran and water.

Tinkyada is definately gluten-free. I believe what debmidge meant was that you could serve it to non-gluten-free folks and they wouldn't know the difference.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
