Is It A Bad Thing...

Is it a bad thing when you want to cry while your record amounts of remaining gluten soaked pasta walk out the door to go be eaten at the neighbors house and you know she will be using your favorite recipes that you sent along with it that she drooled over when she came over for supper?

I know I shouldn't worry it will all just make me ill, but I still want to cry.

I WILL find a good replacement pasta for all my great tasting recipes won't I?!

Tinkyada - it tastes just like the real thing.

If you didn't save copies of those gluten laden pasta recipes, go fetch them from your neighbor!!! Tinkyada tastes exactly like the "real" thing and it works in all of your old recipes. :)

I actually prefer Glutino pasta. I guess you just have to try all the different brands until you find the one you like best.

I made lasagna with rice pasta not long ago when most of my kids and other guests were here. And other than the daughter who is intolerant to wheat (I told her it was rice pasta) nobody knew the difference, and loved the lasagna!

One of my daughters asks me to cook rice pasta, because she likes it better than wheat pasta. Really, you don't have to give up on your old recipes at all. You can find substitutes for everything (unless you are intolerant to all the substitutes as well, like me :( ).

Our favorite is Bi-Aglut pasta - it's made in Italy. But it is sooo expensive. Worth it every once in a while though. When we served it last Christmas, our family thought it was regular pasta and I was eating something else. Even now, my mother-in-law says she can't tell the difference. Which is very cool.

I'm good with Tinkyada most of the time. Unless I'm cooking for a party or something. I like fooling the non-celiacs. :lol:

So go get those recipes back girl! Or at least a copy. You'll use them just as often as you ever did.

You just have to start trying some of the more recommended brands of things. Tinkyada

EXACTLY!

There is a lot you have to give up for this diet, but not pasta! Tinkyada not only tastes perfect, but it also holds up BETTER in cooking then so called real paste. Take it from an Itialian, PASTA STAYS ON THE MENU (unless your avoiding carbs.... )

It is perfectly normal- and justified- to want to cry when you think about all of the wonderful things you used to eat. I've been gluten-free for almost a month, and it happens to me. My 18-year-old and I were driving through the Little Italy section of Cleveland last night, and I looked at all of the restaurants and the little Italian bakery and thought of all of the memories of those places, and I felt very sad. It's not just the loss of foods, there are memories that go along with the foods. Our family has always eaten out a lot, and we will continue to do so, but I will now just order a veggie salad (I'll have to bring my own dressing) or a fruit salad. I am so grateful to finally know what was wrong with me for decades, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a grieving process with this. My heart goes out to you. You have no reason to feel guilty.

I am right there with you! I find myself either wanting to cry or actually crying when I think of all the wonderful food I will never be able to have again. People keep telling me that I need to just get used to it, but its just not that easy.

This past weekend, we went to my boyfriends parents house for the weekend and everytime we go visit them we always go out for breakfast at Big Boy and I can't eat there anymore so I told my boyfriend that I didn't want to go with them and that I would stay home while they go. Well, he kept trying to convince me to go anyway and just to eat before hand. Like I want to sit there and watch everyone eat super yummy pancakes, waffles (which are my fav), biscuits and gravy, ect...That is seriously like TORTURE for me and no one gets it! We went to the outback for dinner the night before and they have gluten-free menu which is GREAT but everyone else was chowin down on the onion blossom, and chili chz fries.....again TORTURE!! I want to cry just thinking about it...seriously.

My moms friend brings her own noodles to whatever italian restraunt she goes out to with mom and they are more than happy to prepare her special noodles for her and then she just makes sure whatever sause she gets is gluten free.

she said thai and mexican are usually pretty safe overall though, w/ mexican she said she has to make sure things like the enchilada sause has no wheat for thickener.

i guess it'd depend on how sensitive u were or cautious to the cross contamination but she hasnt had any problems with it =)

I went gluten-free about a month ago and I have to say that gluten-free PASTA has got to be one of the most "convincingly real" gluten-free foods out there. Both Glutino and Tinkyada are amazing. You will not have to say goodbye to pasta, I promise!

I only gave her copies of the recipes, most are in my head passed on from my first hubby's grandmother to me (except for that coveted "melt in your mouth rolls" recipe I am not supossed to have ;) )

I have tried a few of the pastas, I am however kind of disappointed in the types available that I have seen so far.....

My baked Ziti wont taste the same using elbows cause the sauce wont soak into the middles like it did before......haven't seen any penne cept the spinich ones and I refuse to eat spinich in any form.

I am currently working on pizza crust recipes, next day off I am tryin out the one Guhlia sent to me, I found the last ingredient I needed an hour before I had to go to work :lol: !!

Maybe once I master pizza I will head into the world of pasta, for now I will just stare daggers across the street waiting forthe day she says "but my lasagne isn't as good as yours what am I doing wrong" it pays to be taught by an italian!

Your baked Ziti may taste the same with the Tinkyada penne pasta though. They make a wide variety and I have a few friends that have switched just because they like the taste and/or they found out they don't get heartburn with rice pasta. Why deprive yourself until you perfect the pizza crust? I have to admit some of the rice pastas I tried before I found Tinkyada were downright nasty, gummy and sticky. The corn pastas fall apart if you toss them in a soup. But Tinkyada is one of those gluten-free things that doesn't taste like you're giving up anything.

I found another brand called Notta Pasta made from rice that was just as good as Tinkyada, but I think it's pretty rare, I've only ever seen it once, out of the maybe 50+ stores in the area I've been in. But it's cheaper then Tinkyada, so it doesn't hurt to look. They only make spaghetti, linguine, and fettucine though, so for variety, definitely Tinkyada. Anyone else wish Tinkyada made pasta bows?

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
