Problem With Tinkyada Pasta

I used to love pasta salad but when I first became gluten free I made pasta salad using Tinkyada pasta and found that after 2 days in the refrigerator that pasta was extremely hard as if I had barely cooked it. I tried added more dressing to it but that didn't work so well. I hadn't made pasta salad in 2 years but for the fourth of July I thought I'd try it again. I started with more salad dressing that I did previously so it had more moisture to soak up but again after 2 days in the refrigerator I found it very unappetizing. I really like Tinkyada pasta and if I cook extra and store it in the refrigerator it reheats well, but without reheating and eating it cold it's just hard/ Does anyone have any suggestions to keeping the pasta softer while in the refrigerator?

This is just the nature of our gluten-free pastas I think. I don't make pasta salad but I am told that it is best made and eaten the same day. Maybe others will share their experiences as well. I do occasionally use leftover pasta the next day in hot pasta dishes or soup. Just immerse the pasta in boiling water for a few seconds and drain and top with sauce or toss with the sauce in a pan or place in a bowl and pour the hot soup on top.

What would happen if you added oil to the water while cooking the pasta? I'm thinking the oil would get soaked up and maybe, just maybe keep the pasta softer. Just a thought, but I suspect it would still be best eaten the same day. If you want to keep it longer, perhaps freezing it would help. That works for gluten-free breads anyway.

No!!!! Do Not put oil in with your rice pasta! I tried it. Bad idea. It turns your pasta to glue, it's terrible. I have found that if I slather pasta salad with mayo and a crapload of dressing, it'll keep for 36 hours. Can't really hope for much more.

I've made macaroni salad about 3 times this summer already with Tinkyada elbows, veggies and mayo and have had no problem with it. It kept for about 4-5 days in the fridge and didn't seem to get hard. I cooked the pasta like it said on the front of the package - boiled for 2 minutes, covered and let sit for 18-20 minutes. Maybe it was the mayo that kept it moist.

I know it is kind of a pain but I keep the ingredients seperate....I make up the "dressing...mayo, or italian dressing, veggies, spices and keep them seperate from the pasta....I add the pasta when I am ready to eat it...the Tinkyada stores well

I suggest someone to email them and ask what Tinkyada says to do.

After watching a report years ago about all of the nasty bacteria and fungus that grows on leftovers in the fridge (and the amount of nasties is just staggering), I simply will not eat anything past the 24-36 hour mark. My husband laughs about it. But I wont touch it if it has been in there longer than a day or so.

There are old posts stating the same things here. One said to pack on the mayo too.

I'm with you! I get laughed at too. I also will not eat anything that has been sitting out for more than 2 hours. It's just not worth getting sick.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
