Experience With Cold Tinkyada?

I make really good non-gluten-free pasta salad, but my experience with gluten-free pasta is it does NOT taste good cold, such as with leftovers that must be reheated.

I saw the Tinkyada multi-colored spirals in the store last week and picked some up, feeling hopeful about converting my old pasta salad recipe to gluten-free, but I'm worried it would just be one of those efforts that goes straight to the trash can. However, I'm hoping with the right dressing (I use Paul Newman's Olive Oil and Vinegar dressing) it might still be OK.

Any other thoughts or experiences with Tinkyada served cold? gluten-free pasta salad? Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Beulller?

I've used it in a pasta salad and had leftovers with it (cold) before. It's not the same as wheat based pasta, and it gets a bit more firm - slightly more firm than al dente, but it's still perfectly edible. If there's plenty of dressing, it helps moderate that effect, keeping it a touch softer.

We use it in Macaroni salad all the time, Tarnalberry is correct, it is a bit more firm than wheat pasta but I have no complaints. In fact MIL uses it instead of wheat pasta all the time for family picnics, and by the end of the night the bowl is empty.

Thanks ladies! I was hoping the dressing would mitigate some of sticking-to-itself that happens when it is in the fridge. I think I'll give it a try this weekend. My pasta salad has always been a hit and it might be one more thing I could add to the packed-lunch menu as well. Plus, I want to try adding some salmon pieces to it to up my daughter's intake of VitD. and that would be a great place to do it.

Hmmmm, just did a taste test with some cold Tinkyada from the fridge . . . texture may be an issue. I'd make a small batch or start with leftover (nonsauced) pasta from something else. Let us know how it turns out.

Janet! You just made my eyes cross! :P Now I'm dealing with wretched flashbacks of Social Studies classes, *barf.*

I have made mac salad with Tinkyada... but once it's been in the fridge for a day or two, the pasta gets downright HARD. Maybe if I cooked it a little longer than I normally would? :blink: That's so contra-intuitive, especially for gluten-free pasta.... but I may give that a try.

everything gluten free is bass-ackwards. :lol: just when you think you know how it should be, you have to do it exactly the opposite to make it edible. one mistake along the way and you have hockey pucks or dog biscuits!

I've made a pasta salad with the Tinkyada that was okay. Not as good as it would have been as a glutened one.

I undercooked it a TINY bit so it wouldn't fall apart.

I would maybe half the recipe and try it...then you wouldn't be wasting as much if it doesnt turn out the way you'd like it too.

I've made pasta salad before using the Dr. Schar fusilli or penne and it comes out great. I do not have to eat gluten free so I know what regular pasta tastes and feels like and this is extremely close, to the point of not being noticeable to non celiacs. I make a caesar chicken pasta salad that I take to parties, bbq's etc. and everyone loves it.

I've made pasta salad a number of times with Tinkyada (or teekiyaka as my mother calls it) and I have always used mayonnaise in my pasta salads, and I've always had wonderful results. I usually just throw some peas, tuna or salmon, maybe little chunks of cheese, and pasta in a bowl, and add Hellmans which says gluten-free right on the label whoohoo!!!!! And a crapload of Seeds of Change red pepper vinaigrette. You really need lots of dressing, but I've had it up to two days later no problems, once I figured out how much dressing is required. I have also learned that you just can't keep rice pasta in the fridge without saucing it in some way. It just gets dry and sticky and gross.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful).

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

      no argument.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
