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.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
