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.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
