I went today to buy some grocerys for the first time since being diagnosed... It was time consoming and sure was expensive. I cant beleaive how long it took to pick out just a few things. Any one have any recomendations for a glutin free pasta? I know i should have been born italian...I love pasta and the idea of never eating it again sucks(i couldnt think of any other way to put it). Also any recomendations for terriacky(I know i spelt that wrong) sauce?

Thanks, heather

:D My son loves the bionaturae pasta the best and he has tried many. This pasta looks about the same and the consistency is not mushy and tastes great. I even eat it and don't even need to. Many on here love the tinkyada pasta but my son loves this even better. He is 12.

Tinkyada is definitely my fav! I can't tolerate the corn pastas myself.

Tinkyada is the best!!! ~ I serve it to my family and they can't tell the difference!

AND, they are boys 19 & 20... so that is quite the deception! :)

Tinkyada pasta is the best that I have tasted. Look in your local grocery store's organic section (If available) as you should find it there.

The shopping can be overwhelming at first but it does get easier. You will learn what taste's good and what is a good price for items as time goes by.

Hang In There!

I have only tried cooking corn pasta once, the texture went all weird on me. It was like eating furry macaroni, yuck! I did throw some brown rice pasta shells into a casserole I make and they were totally yummy, I couldn't tell the difference. So far I have been chicken to try just eating gluten-free pasta on it's own (like spag and sauce etc). I'm probably a freak, but my loving memories of so many of these foods is so strong, I am afraid if I try something that I don't like, it will "taint" my memory of what it used to taste like. That is totally bizarre and irrational of me, but it's true.

In the meantime, if anyone knows what I did wrong to end up with furry textured pasta, please let me know!

Skoki_mom, were you using rice pasta? If so, did you rinse and drain it a few times? Rice pasta generates this really gooey thick film when you cook it, so you have to rinse it really well.

I have even fooled the neighbor's boys (ate dinner with us and my boys) with Tinkyada!!

Always rinse the pasta and I then add extra virgin olive oil.

As to the rest of the shopping, it gets much easier but until you know what you can and cannot have, it is VERY time consuming because you don't want to make a mistake.

Pick up a good cookbook too, that really helps and check out the healthfood stores some have a good selection of gluten-free foods, some don't. I shop at three (of the 5 different) stores in town for my groceries.

No, I've had pretty good luck with rice pasta so far. It was a corn pasta, it was just .....ICK! I didn't rinse it though, maybe that would help...

I tried corn pasta once, and it was just icky. Very unpleasant texture, but I too have really liked the brown rice pastas that I've tried.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
