Spaghetti Factory Review

My little guy wanted Spaghetti Factory for his birthday dinner. I knew they had a gluten-free menu but I was skeptical as I have tried gluten-free pasta at home and just about threw up. I ordered the half meat sauce, half mizthra cheese. It was delicious and I ate the entire bowl of pasta - the texture was great and had no indication it was gluten-free. The pasta was by DeBoles. Even the pesto salad dressing was gluten-free. First meal I have had in over a month I left full and satisfied! :D

That is great! Glad you liked it!

I wanted to mention there are ALOT of good gluten free pasta options. The trick with gluten-free pasta is to NOT OVER COOK= A mushy mess with slimy taste. Make sure you follow the directions to a T or even back down the time a minute or two. My favorite brand is Tinkyada for lasagna, spaghetti, penne etc!! But Quinoa pasta is the firmest, great for casseroles or pasta salads. Also very good is rice noodles or potato pasta! You can enjoy great pasta with no gluten-free taste at home!!

I've tried it too and loved it. They used a corn-based pasta, which is why it's so light.

We LOVE the DeBoles in the green box - Gluten Free Multi Grain (Brown Rice/Quinoa/Amaranth). There is NOTHING bad about that! I don't really like the rice ones, particularly the Great Value brand. It always turns out gummy for me. We like the green ones so much that I'm having a family member bring me back a dozen boxes from CA ($2.79/box at Henry's - anyone know where to order on line close to that price?). Where I live, we don't have as many choices of places to find that. Whole Foods is it and whole paycheck is more like it. :(

That is wonderful! My family likes to go out to dinner to celebrate birthdays as well and it has been challenging to figure out safe AND kid friendly places for my son to eat. If you don't mind me asking which Spaghetti Factory did you go to?

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome, @annamarie6655, I followed the AIP diet, too.  It allows the intestines time to heal.  I still avoid a lot of processed foods.  Once you get used to eating whole foods, they taste better than processed foods. I couldn't eat pepperoni without becoming ill.  Pepperoni is a processed meat that uses "meat glue" to hold its shape.  "Meat glue" is microbial transglutaminase produced by microbes in a lab.  Transglutaminase produced by microbes works the same in our bodies as tissue transglutaminase, which causes inflammation.  Remember those antibody blood tests, tTg IgA and tTg IgG?  They test for tissue transglutaminase produced by the body in response to gluten.  The microbial transglutaminase provokes the same response in our bodies as if exposed to gluten.  Best to avoid processed meat products like formed chicken nuggets, luncheon meats, formed hams, sausage, etc.   Best wishes.

      How to work through food paranoia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the tribe! Do discuss the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) with your dietician.  The AIP diet helps while the intestines are healing, lowering potential to develop other food sensitivities.  Be sure to discuss supplementing with vitamins and minerals.  Damaged intestines don't absorb essential nutrients well.  Supplementing while healing boosts absorption and provides vitamins needed for repair.
