Large Pasta Shells

Does anyone know if there is a gluten-free company that makes the large pasta shells like you would use in manicotti? I've had several types of Tinkyada and Deboles but have never been able to find these. TIA!

Tinkyada does make a large shell that is used for manicotti. I can usually find it at Whole Foods or Wild Oats.

Tinkyada does make a large shell pasta, Brown Rice Grand Shells. Open Original Shared Link

But from what I see on their website, you have to buy 12 pkgs. at a time if you buy from them. It does have a long shelf life, but that's more than I can picture using in the next 5 years.

If I see single packages anywhere, I'll snap one up and PM you.

I use Tinkadya large shells for my stuffed shells and they work very well! I have bought them online at first, and then when Wegmans started carrying them, I just get them there.

Thanks, guys. Unfortunately, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Wild Oats are all about 100 miles from me and the two health food stores I frequent don't have them yet. And, alas, no Wegman's anywhere! May try your suggestions of ordering online (don't think I'd use 12 bags though! :( ) TYVM all!

Here you can order it one box at a time for $3.29 a box. They also have lots of other yummy treats.

Thanks! For some reason, I just now found this reply. Link didn't work, but I'll try to figure it out. :)

I had bought some of the Tinkyada big shells over the internet, but I found that many of them were broken in each box. I cooked them up anyway, filled the ones that were whole, then made lumps of filling in the dish and covered them with the pieces of broken shell. It worked great, but it made me wonder why I went to the bother of stuffing shells when I could just cover the filling with any kind of pasta and get the same general result! Kind of like, why make all the layers of lasagna, when the same ingredients mixed together (subbing ziti for flat noodles) makes baked ziti, which tastes the same.

Thanks for the hint! I did find some on the internet and they are on their way. Good to know what to do in case they come busted!!! LOL :P

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for 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/
