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.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?
