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?

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I agree. If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication). I have two friends with this. The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm a microbiologist. I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
