My daughter LOVES pasta, but I'm sure you all know that with gluten-free foods it can really be hit or miss. I bought some rice noodles before that were OK (can't remember brand), and we bought some quinoa/corn noodles that were edible too. But I'm wondering if you have any favorites and where you got them. Thanks!

Tinkyada's my favorite, but it varies person to person, so I have a feeling that your best bet is to keep trying brands 'til you find one ya both like. ;-)

I have found that I like corn pasta because it holds it's shape better than rice when cooking. I make homemade spaghetti sauce using Contadina products and it is a really good meal. If you like to eat out, go to Noodles and Co. they will tailor make a rice pasta dish for you.....they are excellent.

I can't recall the exact brand, but I bought Soy Pasta which tastes pretty much like the real thing to me! I've found it at our local Giant grocery store in the "healthy food" section. Sorry for the lack of a brand name, but I think majority of Giant stores carry it!

Tinkyada brown rice pasta-all flavors! We love those. They sell pretty much all different shapes you can think of and they always taste great, have a great texture, and are most like the wheat pasta we were so used to. We buy them at Whole Foods, and online at Gluten Free Pantry, and Gluten Solutions.

I like Knotta Pasta. I find it in my regular Giant supermarket. Tastes just like regular wheat pasta. I think I actually like it better!

For macaroni and cheese all three of my kids like Pastato brand. Since they couldn't ever come to an agreement before, even before going gluten-free, this is so wonderful for me. The cooking directions are off on the regular elbow white cheddar kind anyway (says to cook it for 3 minutes when 10 is more like it.) I buy this by the case.

For regular spaghetti noodles, we like the quinoa kind by Ancient Harvest.

For shapes and stuff, I'm still experimenting/testing.

Tinkyada is the best gluten-free pasta I've had yet. It tastes the same to me as gluten pasta. Yum!

Tinkyada me five!

I particularly love the spinach spaghetti and the tri-colored pasta. I can still tell the regular brown-rice pasta is different, but the vegetable ones taste exactly the same to me :D

Tinkyada six. They are the best. I serve them to company and no one ever guesses that the dish is gluten free. My only complaint is the elbow pasta, it's bigger than mac and cheese pasta. When my son's non celiac friends come over they can tell the difference and get picky.

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
