Craving Pasta--Help!

When I was first diagnosed (around 10 months ago) a friend recommended Le Venziene pasta as the best gluten-free pasta she'd tasted, and she was right. I had been eating it fairly regularly (1/week or every 2 weeks) and was fine. A few months ago, however, I started having severe stomach aches after eating it, that would last for hours. I tried taking breaks thinking I was eating too much, and even tried eating it plain, thinking it was my sauces, but no luck. I stopped eating the pasta and have been trying to find a suitable replacement (unsuccessfully I might add). Has anyone else had a similar experience with Le Venziene? Also, can anyone recommend a good gluten-free pasta? Thanks!

San Remo spirals, canneloni and lasagne sheets are great.

I've been eating Tinkyada pasta products for years and never had an issue. They make a number of shapes and styles, mostly based on brown rice, and several organic varieties.  My favorites are Spaghetti Style (brown rice, water), Spinach Spaghetti Style (brown rice, spinach powder, water), and Vegetable Spirals (brown rice, carrot powder, tomato powder, water).

I like Tinkyada, also. One thing to be aware of is that it doesn't save well. I made a super good pasta salad with the spirals, but next day it wasn't so good. Something happens to the texture. Just cook what you are going to eat.

I haven't tried it yet but my cousin tells me that squash spaghetti is awesome taste just like regular but more healthier for you.

tinkyada is what we eat - it's brown rice pasta - so, no corn or quinoa or funky ingredients i am sometimes bothered by.  or i will sub in maifun noodles for angel hair pasta <also made of rice + nothing else.

 

we had a ton of zucchini and yellow squash from the garden, so we made lasagne using sliced zucchini layered with the sauce, cheese, etc. - my husband LOVED it - and he usually hates veg-gies mixed into his 'other stuff' - sooooo simple, too.  we ate the leftovers over spaghetti and that was also delicious.

That's too bad, I like Le Veneziane, too.  I also like Schar.

Thanks everyone! I loved Le Venziene bec. It has a great texture and doesn't get mushy/slimy like some others I've tried, but I haven't tried any of your suggestions in the past, so it looks like I'm in for some pasta tasting sessions. Thanks again!

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, some people with Celiac do react to quinoa.  I know i do.  Apparently, two different "breeds" of quinoa can stimulate the immune system. Read here... Variable activation of immune response by quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) prolamins in celiac disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22760575/#:~:text=Cultivars Ayacuchana and Pasankalla stimulated,for patients with celiac disease. And some of us react to corn (maize) as well. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24152750/   P.S. @Brook G have you thought about getting a genetic test done for known Celiac genes?

      People who are Celiac don't have a gluten response to Quinoa, but some people who are gluten intolerant do.  I react to quinoa just like I do to gluten.  Freddies/Kroger came out with their own gluten-free Bread and I didn't think to read the ingredients.  I couldn't figure out where I would have gotten gluten in my diet until I read the ingredients in their bread...

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect.  My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which is probably why I cannot locate it.     I will have read up on mast cell activation.  I do not know anything about it.  Tums is my preferred gerd treatment.  I always figured a little extra calcium could not hurt me.

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains.   An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains.   My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake since 2020.   Her Psychiatrist was who tested her for MTHFR gene issue because she suffers from depression and severe anxiety. The Psychatrist also instructed my daughter to supplement with a methylated version of folate once she knew my daughter was homozygous, because the methylated version bypasses the mutated gene step so her body can absorb it.  Low folate absorption impacts serotonin and dopamine production.  My husband and I also both have two other homozygous gene mutations that interfere with vitamin absorption: MTRR and VDR taq.  The first interferes with B-12 absorption which requires us to take a methylated B-12 vitamin and the second with Vitamin D absorption so we have to take higher doses to stay within normal levels.   My brother, who has the exact same gene mutations, went through 10x health genetic testing for vitamin supplements (paid by his employer) and received a huge report saying the same things about which types of supplements had to be taken.  Gary Brecka does videos on how these gene mutations impact the vitamin absorption pathways.       If my brother had not gotten his testing through work, he would never would have started his supplement journey.  His testing is what triggered my getting functional health testing that tested similar biomarkers to his.  Again the celiac testing was an add-on test that I did off the cuff.
