Ordered Bi-Aglut pasta (imported from Italy) from Gluten Solutions. It is the best I've tried so far. It is even the same color as the real thing!

I missed your post on this but I just had this pasta for the first time tonight. It was to die for delish! I can not believe it's gluten free. It seems to store for a long time so I'm going to try and buy a six month supply to save on the shipping per package. I so hope they make a fettucini! I only got spagetti and penne in case I didn't love it. Now I wish I'd bought a ton of it! Anyway, I'm glad you posted about it....maybe some others will see this and try it too.

If I may ask, what are the ingredients? Is it rice? Soy?

Gotta get me some of that. Is it better than the Tinkyada brand?

BTW, don't bother getting Tinkyada's penne. It's nowhere near as good as their spaghetti. What a disappointment.

I can't read the ingredients on the package - they are in Italian but it does have corn in it. I think it used to contain soy and that changed early this year. For the ingredients, go to one of the two websites listed above and you can see the ingredients in English. It puts Tinkyada to shame and I thought Tinkyada was great - before today. However, as it cost about $8 per package, it may not be worth the extra cost to some.

Thanks floridanative, I will look into it :)

I checked it out and here are the ingredients:

INGREDIENTS: Maize Starch, Rice Starch, Potato Flour, Isolated Soya Proteins, Defatted Soya Flour, Emulsifier (mona and diglycerides of fatty acids).

Bummer, lots of soy :(

I noticed they also sell the Pastariso brand at GLuten Solutions, this is what I have always eaten and I really like it. My store has stopped carrying it though :(

Nope - no soy in my Bi-Aglut. You may have read on a site the old ingredients since I think it had soy until Feb. of this year. There is a disclaimer saying that the plant conditions regarding soy are unknown like they make something with soy there maybe. Since I don't avoid soy it doesn't affect me but for those of you who do, you could e-mail the company and inquire about soy. They probably got rid of it to increase the customer base. Interestingly Bi-Aglut is not peanut free due to lupiene....maybe that is soy...I don't know. I wrote allergygrocer.com to ask. I'd hate for people to miss a great pasta like this if they can eat it safely. Even cold it is edible...not exactly like wheat pasta when cold but almost. It's really amazing!

My very very favorite pasta altough I havent tried the kind you are talkin about is Bio Nature, Penne or really any of them are great they taste like what I remember of regular pasta, they make regular pasta also but test the batches for the presence of gluten, make sure the bag says gluten free...and Fresh Market carries it!

Thanks for telling me about Bionature. They have that at my Publix but only the glutenous kind. There is a health food store that carries their gluten free stuff so I'll give it a try. I'd like to keep from paying for shipping my food if possible. I can get 10 different kinds of Tinkyada pasta at Whole Foods but now that I had Bi-Aglut it just doesn't compare.

I recently made a great pasta salad we were eating for three days (made a bunch for a party and had leftovers as not as many showed - more for us!!!) with Tinkyada pasta, the rotelli (spiral) pasta. It was much better than last year's - I cooked it differently. I used the low energy tip on the package - boiled the pasta for 2 mins, then turned off the stove, put a lid on the pot, and let it sit for 20 mins. It was perfect and didn't soak up the mayo.

Then I tried boiling water in my plug-in T-Fal rapid boil teakettle, poured it over the pasta, heated on the stove back to boiling (for one minute) then turned it off and let it sit for 10 mins. It was fine, then, too.

OK, also tried letting it sit for 20 mins another time recently, but for some reason forgot to TURN OFF the stove, so it cooked for 20 mins with the LID on - I was in the other room - and it was pretty well cooked but still edible! That stuff is pretty hardy.

I can't have corn or potato so this new stuff is out for me. For those wondering, though, Tinkyada is awesome. Even my really discerning SIL was surprised - tastes just like the real stuff.

I've found from working with Asian rice noodles that if you soak them in warm water until flexible prior to ,boiling, they not only cook quicker but have a bouncier texture when cooked.

Some of the noodlle I find in the Asian markets are very thick, like spaghetti or long Italian macaroni, and they get doughy and make a sticky mess when boiled for 20 minutes dry, but only take 4 minutes or so when soaked.

I tried this once with Tinkyada spaghetti, and it worked. I tried it with Chreese mac & cheese elbow pasta and it fell apart. Of course, when boiled from dry the Chreese pasta was doughy and unappealing anyway.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
