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?

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
