Winco Pasta

I had some pretty extensive dental work done on Wednesday and have a lot more to take care of. (Scurvy is fun! Okay, not really.) Anyway, Winco is the only local grocery store that carries my favorite greek yogurt so I went to pick up a large container knowing I wouldn't be up to food requiring much chewing for a few days. They have a pretty extensive bulk section which I checked out, I usually can't resist some dried fruit or chocolate.

Anyway, to the point. I found they have gluten free pasta in bulk. I picked up some penne for $1.58 a pound. I was fully prepared for it to either suck or make me sick. It was every bit as good as Tinkyada for a bit less than 1/2 of what I usually pay and I felt fine after eating it. (Last time I had an issue with cc I was sick within about an hour so I'd know pretty quick.) They also had elbows and spaghetti at pretty reasonable prices.

I just thought I'd let anyone in the Utah/Idaho area know that this is out there and at least for me doesn't seem to have any cc issues. I see a summer of pasta salads in my future.

I am in California and I shop at Winco all the time. Have not seen the gluten-free pasta, but have not really looked. I miss pasta that taste good. Is this in the pasta isle or over the counter? I will then check it out. Thanks.

It was in the bulk section, maybe there it's over the counter. Here in Utah the bulk section is all self serve. Just fill up your own bags and mark them with the appropriate bin number. Be careful to make sure you are getting the gluten free stuff since they also sell regular pasta the same way. The varieties I remember seeing were elbows, white rice elbows (ewww I hate white rice pasta) penne and spaghetti. I know there was a fifth kind but my memory and I aren't friends today.

The penne was just past done after 11 minutes, I'd say it probably is ready after about 9 which is a bit faster than what I've experienced with Tinkyada so watch your cook times closely. (Even overcooked it held up well as microwaved leftovers today, I'm quite impressed and still feeling fine.)

Not everything gluten free is reasonably priced though. They had small nutri-grain style bars (about half the size) for 99 cents. I passed on those, who pays a buck for half a breakfast bar? :o

Our Winco in Everett WA has boxed gluten-free pasta. Not sure about the bulk but we don't buy much bulk food. Mainly only wrapped things.

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
