Over The Moon About Tinkyada

I finally screwed up my courage and tried the brown rice elbows tonight. First pasta of any kind I've tried since going gluten free June 1, 2009. I was utterly petrified. We've never been big pasta people anyway, so doing without wasn't that big of a deal, except I really, really wanted mac-n-cheese to go with my ribs tonight. So, I did the "boil for two minutes, then set off, covered" cooking style. I rinsed it in cold water and it was still kind of tough, but I was hoping that since I would be baking it, it would be okay. I tasted a piece of it, and really, was stunned. It tasted JUST LIKE WHEAT pasta. I gave a piece to DH (who had no idea I'd cooked something "weird"), and he was, "Yeah, it's noodles." Paired with my usual cooked sauce (replacing the flour with half the cornstarch), and into the oven, it truly was indistinguishable. What a friggin' relief!

Tinkyada is our favorite! I bet we have it at least 5 times a week.

YES, I felt the same way when I first made it too! FYI I also had the same reaction to Kinnikinnick donuts-they are soooooo yummy and gluten-free/dairy free.

My husband is Italian and doesn't know the difference.

Tinkyada is the best! I made lasagne and DH tasted it then said, "This is really good". You know, all surprised like! "You thought it was going to be some weird gluten-free thing, didn't you?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, it is gluten-free. But it's really good, isn't it?"

He can't tell the difference and neither can I.

Tinkyada rules- even for a "super sensitive". Tell everyone.

I guess I must be super duper sensitive then. It bothers me so I make my own pasta.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission.   They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.   Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      Blood results

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies
