I wonder how Spaghetti squash compares to eating gluten free pasta??? If anyone has any experience, I'd love to hear your thoughts on texture and taste!

My uncle does this not to be gluten-free, but because he's on a low carb diet. He does this for pasta and he loves it! He actually says he prefers it The rest of his family does care to eat it, but they say it's a texture thing more than taste. Try it! What do you have to loose?

I enojy the spaghetti squash too but more so zucchini made into noodles with a spiralizer machine i got form internet.

Little white plastic thing where you put in the squash, turn the handle and it turns it into long noodles.

interesting that amazon is banned from the forum, anyway just search spiralizer and you'll find it

I make it several times a year and enjoy it. The texture is nothing like pasta so do not expect it to be. However, it is still very tasty and far healthier. There are so many yummy things to add to it (that are not quite as healthy such as butter and maple syrup) but one of my favourites is simply olive oil and sage leaves (of course S and P). Just flake it with a fork.

I do make "pasta" out of zucchini and carrots (as above) but just use my vegetable peeler.

I have always preferred spaghetti squash to actual spaghetti, gluten free or not. I'm Italian and like a lot of cheese on my pasta along with my family's home made meat sauce, so it makes me feel better knowing that the base of my dish is a lower-calorie vegetable rather than a high calorie carb.

Love spaghetti squash here too. You don't want to overcook it though -- that's when it gets mushy.

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol
