Low(er) carb gluten-free pasta?

Does anyone know of a lower carb gluten-free pasta? I have looked at pretty much all the bigger brands (Italpasta, Barilla, GoGo, President's Choice, Tinkyada, Rizopia, Catelli, Arrowhead Mills, Prairie Harvest) and they all come in at about 0.7-0.8 carbs per gram of pasta.

Does anyone know of a higher protein, lower carb version?

I realize pasta is, by definition, higher carb but in the non-gluten-free world there are at least higher protein/lower carb pastas. Why not a gluten-free contender?

And, yes, I know you can do the whole spiralized veggie thing but sometimes you just want pasta!

Anyone have product suggestions?

I posted about this product last week - Organic Edamame Spaghetti (Open Original Shared Link) is lower carbs and has lots of protein. I actually like it a lot, and Costco carries it.

I think the same company also makes black bean pasta, but I haven't seen it in stores.

Oh, I like that! The nutritional specs are really good. I'm in Canada, though, so I will have to check if Costco Canada has it. I hope so!

 

Thanks so much!

I don't think it's available in Canada yet, but according to their website Banza pasta has double the protein of regular pasta and half the carbs of regular pasta. I haven't tried it yet, Open Original Shared Link

This one looks even better. I like that it's dried pasta. Not in Canada, though. Bummer. We always are late to the party where new products are concerned. Sucks!

Just saw this article Open Original Shared Link

and did a search here and saw it mentioned briefly in this thread. Has anyone tried the Banza pasta? I love the nutrition on it! And it's actually sold near where I live :) Would love to try it soon!

OLD dead thread but by lower carb standards I use Open Original Shared Link

 

 

For a protein add in I whisk up some egg beaters or egg whites. pour them into a oiled skillet on low heat to form a thin layer and cook to form a thin sheet. I dump this on a cutting bored and use a knife to cut it into thin noodles for added protein. You can also cut deli meats into thin strips for protein.  The noodles from Miracle noodles I normally serve up with browned longhorn, and pasta sauce, for vegans I top with beyond meat beefy crumbles, and sometimes I mix up a vegan cheesy sauce or a dairy free alfrado sauce and mix in tuna or salmon.

Sounds delicious.

I am mostly interested in the Banza brand to see how they fare the next day and how good they are supposed to taste according to the review.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
