Today I went to Ranch 99 Market and bought rice pasta for $1.49 a bag! Some brands were .99! I will never buy gluten free pasta at other stores for $4-5 a bag! I am so excited to try these noodles. I feel better knowing the asian stores have much better deals on pasta!

Can you tell me what other ingredients are in the noodles? I'm trying to find noodles that I can eat. Thanks.

They just say rice and water. Or rice flour and water.

I do the same thing. The Asian rice noodles work well in things like chicken noodle soup or Tuna noodle casseroles. I have found that they don't have much flavor, though. And they can fall apart easily. I still buy Tinkyada brown rice pasta for my spaghetti and lasagna noodles. The Asian rice noodles don't seem to asorb flavors easily and they get hard again when cold so they aren't the best choice for something like a pasta salad. Another good thing to get at the Asian markets is rice paper wrappers and rice flour. Rice flour is much cheaper there than anywhere else.

*another tip: the rice flours and tapioca flours, potato starch, etc., are SOOO cheap at the Asian market. I just got a pound of sweet rice flour for $1.49 (take that, whole foods!)

Great for baking.

I also saw ingredients like evaporated cane sugar, coconut jelly, all kinds of unusual things that us gluten-free cooking/baking people may need and can't locate or afford.

That's been my trick for the past couple of years. Because I often cooked Asian dishes before, it was one I figured out pretty quick. I buy the wide flat ones, and break them into smaller pieces to replace wide egg noodles. I get the thinner, flat ones for linguini, and even the very thin, brown rice ones for spaghetti.

I also buy rice crackers for .99 a 3.5oz bag (well, until last week, when they went up to 1.29 a bag :angry: ). They are a great alternative to sandwiches with things like egg salad, chicken salad, peanut butter and banana slice :D, etc.

I usually get mine at my local grocery store, which has a great Asian selection, but a new Asian market opened within easy driving distance of my house, and the selection is incredible. They even have some rice crackers w/ a bit of a sugar glaze that I eat for cookies.

      Aveeno products

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I use Aveeno Moisturizing Body Lotion with prebiotic oat, unscented. I really only use it on my hands and not every day. Haven't noticed it any problems. I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Having a RAVENOUS appetite (or conversely no appetite at all - anorexia) and unintended weight loss are symptoms of early thiamine deficiency.   People who are physically active, athletes, physical laborers, those who exercise outside regularly have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Exercising outside regularly can cause more thiamine loss because sunlight breaks down thiamine.  (This is why people with heat stroke are administered thiamine.)  More thiamine is lost through the kidneys in those who exercise regularly.  Because blood tests for thiamine deficiency is so inaccurate, the World Health Organization suggests, if thiamine deficiency is suspected, give thiamine and look for health improvement.   Do not take Thiamine Mononitrate as this form is not well absorbed nor utilized in the body.  It is frequently found in foods, and multivitamins and B1 supplements because it will not break down with exposure to light while sitting on a shelf at the store.  Thiamine Mononitrate is shelf stable - it won't break down with light exposure - and this makes it not bioavailable.  The body only absorbs about 30% and utilizes less than that because it's so hard to break down.   Benfotiamine and the form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) and thiamine hydrochloride are wonderful forms to take.   I'm familiar with these symptoms because I dropped sixty pounds in a month because I had developed thiamine deficiency.  I ate well, exercised, and took a multivitamin (with thiamine Mononitrate), but the metabolic needs of my body demanded more.  The years of poor absorption due to undiagnosed Celiac disease had depleted my stores of thiamine.  My doctors did not recognize thiamine deficiency symptoms, even when they progressed to Wernicke's Encephalopathy.  They said I was making things up and sent me home. With nothing else to lose (I could feel myself dying), I took high dose thiamine hydrochloride as the WHO suggested and had improvement within the hour.   I also tried Benfotiamine and TTFD in the months that followed and had even more significant health improvement. Please don't wait until your brain starts malfunctioning or other organs start failing.  Please take thiamine soon.  It's nontoxic and safe even in high doses.  Thiamine works with other B vitamins, especially Riboflavin and Pyridoxine, so supplementing with a B Complex is essential as well.  Magnesium is needed as well to make life sustaining enzymes. There's no harm, no foul in trying Thiamine.  If for no other reason than to prove it is not thiamine deficiency.   P. S.  Thiamine is needed to turn on Vitamin D, turning it into its active form.  Otherwise  Vitamin D can't be utilized and just builds up in the system.

      Oh and yes, thanks, other than being permanently RAVENOUS and not yet putting on weight, I am feeling pretty good. I jog, do yoga, today cycled 12km to a food market then to another place to get my fish, then my gluten-free bread... My life is All about food!;( But I shld prob. be less active as obv is keeping the pounds off... And having some muscle makes me feel less depressed with my skeletal appearance.
