Gluten free fresh pasta recipes please

G'day from the Land Down Under

I'm so glad to be here and needing some tips on gluten free, egg free fresh pasta

By way of introduction, I was diagnosed with MS back in 2011 and then almost as big a shock discovered I'm gluten intolerant in 2012. 

When life gives you lemons as they say the only thing you can do is make lemonade. So I radically altered my diet going from a meat eating carnivore to gluten free vegan plus seafood, regularly exercising and  meditating on the Word of God. 

10 years on, I'm drug free, am able to walk 18 holes of golf and hold a full time job. My neurologist says I'm his best patient. He puts it down to luck but I give the credit to our Creator and changing my lifestyle.

Anyway, I've finally bought a pasta maker and am keen to try it out this weekend.  My favourite bought pasta is San Remo Fettuccine which lists contents as Maize starch, soy flour, potato starch and rice starch. So I figure this maybe a great place to start.

Would anyone be able to make an educated guess as to the rough quantities to mix together the ingredients above please?

Better still, I'd love to know your go to favourite flour mixes for making fresh pasta that don't contain eggs, butter, milk, cheese please?

Thanks in advance and I'll leave you with my tip of the day:

Never sing in the shower. Singing leads to dancing, dancing leads to slipping, and slipping leads to paramedics seeing you naked. So remember....don't sing.

Blessings

Welcome to the forum, Alex! I appreciate your attitude of praise! Obviously, you are someone for whom life's glass is half full instead of half empty.

With switching from meat to seafood for protein, do you have any concerns about heavy metal toxicity?

i also love your attitude of gratitude!!   i am 10 plus years into my lifestyle/diet change and i feel fantastic :) and blessed.  

i do make my own pasta but i don't use any particular mix/flour.  i just wing it - it turns out pretty good every time, but i have made it a lot over the years, so i have had my failures early on :D i do like to play with my food!!  my biggest problem was if your dough is too wet, it'll stick to the rollers.  good luck!  and welcome to the forum :)

You might want to take a look at the various "All purpose flour mixes" here, just to get some ideas:

Thanks so much for the replies, what a friendly bunch.

Trents I am certainly aware of the mercury issue in fish but will only adjust my diet if yearly blood tests show any concerns. I think the Mediterranean like diet I'm on is most delicious eating sardines, salmon, prawns, calamari, white fish and more. Nothing better than beautiful seafood and glass of wine in moderation.

Notme you have the luck of the Irish to be able to just wing it. But how satisfying is it when you make something new and it actually works, eh. I've had many failures but more winners overall. My crowd pleaser is a roasted vegetable gluten free pizza.

And finally Mr Adams, the creator of this wonderful community, thank you. I did do a search for pasta recipes but your link was spot on. The gluten-free recipe 1 had the specific quantities I was looking for so I will give it a go next time.

So, drum roll please to announce the result of my first fresh pasta making session - ba bum. No good.

I tried someone's highly rated recipe from another website but the dough even after 40 minutes in freezer was too fragile to go through the pasta machine. So I just rolled it out manually and gently, cut into strips and cooked for 4-5 minutes.  It didn't look commercial quality but I mixed it through a lovely chilli pasta sauce and thought not too bad.

So next time I will try your recipe no 1 and think I'll add a flaxseed egg to ensure it binds together sufficiently.

Tip of the day: if you can't think of a word, say "I forgot the English word for it." That way people will think you're bilingual instead of an idiot.

Blessings

I’m glad the #1 flour mix recipe might work for you. Interestingly that recipe, and the others there, are among the oldest posts on this site, dating back to ~1996. Back then celiacs had to spend lots of time experimenting in the kitchen if they ever wanted to eat the things they loved again.

Hey Alex! I appreciate your attitude as well! I definitely had some cookies flop on Friday. But they still tasted pretty good! Hope your next batch of pasta works well!

So glad to hear that you're doing so well after going gluten free.

I've never made my own pasta, even before going gluten free, but I can tell you cooking store-bought, gluten-free pastas on very low simmers helps keep them from breaking down.

My favorite gluten-free flours are from King Arthur though I don't know if they are vegan. The ingredient lists look okay until you hit the vitamin fortifications which are always going to be a danger zone for a vegan.

I have heard that it is not uncommon for celiacs to be misdiagnosed as having MS. Again, not an area that I'm all that familiar with but my understanding is that those who have gluten ataxia are the ones who are likely to have this misdiagnosis.

My favorite store-bought gluten free pastas over the years have been heavy on the potato flour so if you're making your own flour mix, I recommend experimenting in that direction. Best of luck to you in finding the perfect recipe.

Thanks Gods gal, I love your handle. As they say if at first you don’t succeed.....eh?

Always learning what an intriguing post. I do take vitamin B12 and vitamin D but they are the only fortifications I need to help me. Lots of foods have milk, eggs, cheese added which are a big no no for MS. 

As MS is an immune response where body is attacking itself there does seem to be an abnormally high number of dual diagnosed and they really don’t agree on cause or cure yet. But you can’t get diagnosed with MS unless evidence of lesions in spinal cord which normally coincides with oligoclonal banding in spinal fluid. I appreciate both MS and Celiac are miserable conditions, however it’s the physical and mental disability that frightens me with MS.

ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659 

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus.
She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her.
She immediately moved to another seat.
This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.
The man seemed more amused.
When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing,
She complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.

The case came up in court.

The judge asked the man (about 20 years old)
What he had to say for himself:

The man replied,
'Well your Honor, it was like this:
When the lady got on the bus,
I couldn't help but notice her condition.
She sat down under a sign that said,
'The Double Mint Twins are coming' and I grinned.
Then she moved and sat under a sign that said,
' Logan 's Liniment will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile.
Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said,
'William's Big Stick Did the Trick,' and I could hardly contain myself.
But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time
And sat under a sign that said,
'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident!'
.... I just lost it.'

'CASE DISMISSED!!'

I was never confident enough to make my own gluten-free pastes, but used the San Remo range available at my local New World. They have 4 types and I definitely will not go back to other brands now. It's fast, convenient and delicious. Children love it!

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your story! It sounds like you’ve been through an incredible journey with your health, and it’s no wonder you’re starting to piece things together and wonder about celiac disease. Your experiences—from childhood through adulthood—paint a picture of symptoms that are often associated with celiac disease, though they can overlap with other conditions as well. The recurring sinus infections, being underweight as a child, chronic gastrointestinal issues, nutrient-related symptoms like cramps, and the persistent fatigue and brain fog are all things that many people with undiagnosed celiac report. Your reactions to gluten also stand out. The improvement in symptoms when you reduce or remove gluten, followed by the resurgence of pain and other problems when you reintroduce it, is a common experience for those with celiac or gluten intolerance. While your frustrations and trials with elimination diets might not have given you concrete answers yet, they’ve provided valuable clues. It’s also worth noting that celiac disease doesn’t always present in the classic way. Many people, like yourself, may not experience severe gastrointestinal distress but instead have “atypical” or extraintestinal symptoms like joint pain, menstrual irregularities, fatigue, and more. It’s a condition that can go undiagnosed for years, especially when symptoms are subtle, sporadic, or mistakenly attributed to other issues. The fact that you’ve sought alternative approaches to feel better shows just how determined you’ve been to find relief, even without a definitive diagnosis. Given your history and how your body responds to gluten, it would be worth exploring celiac disease further with a medical professional. Before removing gluten completely, it’s important to get tested while you’re still eating it, as going gluten-free beforehand can affect the accuracy of the results. A blood test for celiac antibodies (like tTG-IgA) is usually the first step, and if positive, an endoscopy may follow to confirm the diagnosis. If the testing process feels daunting, keep in mind that getting answers could give you clarity and help guide your health decisions going forward. Whatever the outcome, you’ve already made significant strides in identifying triggers and managing your symptoms. Your awareness and persistence are key, and this community is here to support you as you continue to seek answers. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of blood test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By More2Learn · Posted

      Hi, I am new!  (Although I've used this forum as a reference over the past couple of years.) I'm just looking for some initial reactions to if I actually might possibly have Celiac Disease, or if I'm reaching here.  I have had lifelong health issues and not once has a doctor suggested I look into celiac. I always thought it was basically an extreme allergy that needed an EpiPen, and I know that's not me.  However, I stumbled upon some symptoms, realized I was wrong, and after some research I'm almost shocked at what I have found.  It seems like anything I've ever struggled with has a potential correlation to this disease!  I'm in my 40's, now.  Here is my journey to date... Issues as a Kid: tons of allergies, and had sinus infections all the time... however I didn't have hayfever-like allergies and the scratch tests didn't register much, it was more that when I was exposed to allergens (like say I spent hours with a cat) I was certain to get a sinus infection and it lasted months. was extremely skinny and everyone always said I was anorexic (I wasn't) always getting sick and the illnesses hang on for a long time always cold (my favorite thing to do is sit in front of a space heater or be out in 90 degree weather) intermittent bad constipation (still happens but not as severe) horrible toe cramps that would wake me up in the middle of the night As I got older (teenage/college years): acid reflux diagnosis learned that beer made me EXTREMELY sick, cannot tolerate it horrible issues with menstrual cycle - I wasn't regular, had awful cramps and PMS, sometimes cannot function the first couple of days night terrors/sleep walking more stomach issues - I learned I couldn't have black coffee.  I often had issues especially when traveling.  For example I finally noticed a pattern that I could never, ever eat at a hotel buffet spread - it would always make me sick afterwards. More recent problems: always tired periodic pain on right side that can be so painful I can't stand up straight. Have had all kinds of scans and doctors always say I'm fine.  I was so sure I had gallstones or my liver was failing but... nope. chest pain brain fog not diagnosed but many, many ADHD symptoms lots of inflammation, am overweight now toe cramps evolved into leg/calf cramps None of my symptoms from any era of my life ever really resolved, except I went from being skinny to ~20/30 pounds overweight, and as I got older I got less outright sinus infections.  Largely due to the pain in my right side and the fact that I always, always seem to pick up every illness, especially when traveling, I started pursuing alternative medicine paths... I did the Pritikin lifestyle, I tried an elimination diet, I followed the Root Cause Protocol, I did a Leptin reset.  A lot of these paths recommend removing gluten, and in the past year or so some of my symptoms have gone away!  Specifically less issues with toe cramps, sometimes the side pain would go away for a long time, and my acid reflux got much better.  But, because I was never diagnosed with any specific intolerance, I wasn't militant about the gluten - I had cut out dairy, soy, all kinds of things.  So I would say cross-contamination is ok, or make an exception at a group outing. Then one day, I just got frustrated and ate some normal slices of pizza... and my side pain came back!  I started doing research and now I'm here and wondering... could I have actually had this my whole life??!? Thoughts and observations welcome.
