Tinkyada

I made Lasagna over the weekend with this and it was AWESOME. I literally could not tell the difference relative to regular noodles. :)

Now I want to stock up on bulk quantities of all their pastas. Anyone know a good source for this - I checked the website, you cannot order from them directly, it seems.

If the rest of their pasta is this good, I will not be wanting for Italian food, no siree. My next project will be to learn to make decent fresh gluten-free bread, and then I will be in like flynn.

I love Tinkyada too, Do you have a Whole Foods near you? I saw that they had some Tinkyada pasta and they could probably special order it by the case for you if you wanted it...

I get it at my local co-op... Life Grocery, they are awesome about stocking great gluten-free goodies.

Tinkyada is the best! My non celiac family could not tell the difference when that is made. I get them at local health food stores. If they do not carry them you can request they get it in and you pick it up when your order comes in.

I don't have a source near me, so I order it from Open Original Shared Link. IF I am paying WAY too much... don't tell me!!! :o:o:o I don't want to know! Hahahaha! I love this pasta and my family is clueless that it is gluten-free ~ until told!! It is SO nice to make just one bowl of pasta instead of two. :)

I like the Tinkyada pasta too, but I made a pasta salad with it this weekend. The pasta was great, but we went camping and I had it in a cooler and then when I went to eat it after being cold it had hardened again. Has else had this happen? Strange. I cooked it quite a bit too, because i was cooking for my celiac toddler. Anyway, I had to throw it out.

Otherwise I have had good results and hope to make lasagna as soon as I am back home.

Monica,

I had that same thing happen to me when I made pasta salad. Tinkyada is the BEST for hot noodles, but cold in salad it left something to be desired. <_< Don't get me wrong, I love all of their noodles, I just don't think they are the best for cold pasta salad. The noodles get hard and chewy...

Wandering Hermit,

I buy mine from Gluten Solutions (see link above) and also from Whole Foods. They are about the same price. If you don't have a Whole Foods near you (or a place to buy them) then Gluten Solutions offers the best price. They offer a pack of Tinkyada's top 7 shaped noodles (Brown Rice Spirals, Spaghetti, Penne, Fettucini, Elbows, Fusilli, and Shells) for $19.95, and shipping isn't too expensive there...

Tinkyada also sells the Little Dreams pasta, which is shaped like little planes, trains, animals, and other toys. This is a big hit at my house with my kids, and like always has the great taste and texture of the other Tinkyada products. :D

God bless,

Mariann

I just want to add that Tinkyada IS the best gluten-free pasta out there that we know of. My 7 year old eats " noodles and sauce " at least 5 times a week. It packs well in a hot food container for his school lunch. I tried that with one of the other brands of gluten-free pastas and the stuff was absolute mush by the time he had it at lunch. Tinkyada stays perfectly well in a hot container. With all of the new gluten-free foods out there, my son finally eats a "normal" diet of TASTY foods. Other kids have no idea his foods are 'special'.

We have enjoyed the spagetthi, the lasagna noodles and the grand shells. I am awaiting an order of shells today as I didn't find them when we were last in Whole Foods. I am planning to cook the entire box, stuff them and freeze them. I used to buy stuffed shells and they were so convenient to have in the freezer. I simply bake them and use a jar of Classico for the sauce. Since I only cook for 2, we seldom use an entire recipe of anything and most days I can find something to make a quick meal from the freezer. We can supplement our shells with Carol Fenster's eggplant parmesan, Karen Robertson's foccocia and a Bard's Tale. We are not missing our Italian foods.

Do you use the cooking method of boiling two minutes and then sitting in the water?

      Thank you for the welcome and reply. The first test was tissue transglutaminase IGA and it was normal. The second test just simply says IGA and it was 638. You definitely answered my question, it sounds like im negative for celiac since the 1st test was normal, and that another condition has caused the abnormal result of the IGA. That's exactly what I was...

      Welcome to the forum, @daniellelawson2011! First, we need to deal with terminology here. When you refer to the "ttg" test I take that to mean the ttg-iga. And when you refer to the "iga" test I take that to mean total iga since the magnitude of the score would suggest that. Total iga is not a test for celiac disease per se. It is run in order to check...

      After struggling with many different symptoms for years with no diagnosis, I decided to do my own research and I stumbled upon an article about celiac disease. I asked my PCP to order a ttg and iga. The results: the iga was high at 638. The ttg was negative. Of course I will discuss with my doctor, but i would like to hear from people that have went through...

You definitely answered my question, it sounds like im negative for celiac since the 1st test was normal, and that another condition has caused the abnormal result of the IGA. That's exactly what I was wondering. Im almost positive I have MS and I've read results are higher like that with early onset. Or it could be IBS. Hopefully the visit with the neurologist will give me even more answers and point to a final diagnosis. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply and for helping. Thank you so much!

      Welcome to the forum, @daniellelawson2011! First, we need to deal with terminology here. When you refer to the "ttg" test I take that to mean the ttg-iga. And when you refer to the "iga" test I take that to mean total iga since the magnitude of the score would suggest that. Total iga is not a test for celiac disease per se. It is run in order to check for iga deficiency. If you are iga deficient, then the ttg-iga and other iga tests that are specific for celiac disease will be abnormally low and this would potentially produce false negatives. You are not iga deficient but, rather, your total iga is abnormally high. This can suggest underlying health conditions, some of them can be serious in nature.  ...

I asked my PCP to order a ttg and iga. The results: the iga was high at 638. The ttg was negative. Of course I will discuss with my doctor, but i would like to hear from people that have went through the process of diagnosis to maybe give me some insight on what this means and where to go from here. Also of note, i had a brain mri which showed white lesions which arent typical at 44 years old. I have many MS symptoms. I go to the neurologist on Tuesday, but just curious if anyone knows if there is a correlation between iga and MS. I...
