Ordered Bi-Aglut pasta (imported from Italy) from Gluten Solutions. It is the best I've tried so far. It is even the same color as the real thing!

I missed your post on this but I just had this pasta for the first time tonight. It was to die for delish! I can not believe it's gluten free. It seems to store for a long time so I'm going to try and buy a six month supply to save on the shipping per package. I so hope they make a fettucini! I only got spagetti and penne in case I didn't love it. Now I wish I'd bought a ton of it! Anyway, I'm glad you posted about it....maybe some others will see this and try it too.

If I may ask, what are the ingredients? Is it rice? Soy?

Gotta get me some of that. Is it better than the Tinkyada brand?

BTW, don't bother getting Tinkyada's penne. It's nowhere near as good as their spaghetti. What a disappointment.

I can't read the ingredients on the package - they are in Italian but it does have corn in it. I think it used to contain soy and that changed early this year. For the ingredients, go to one of the two websites listed above and you can see the ingredients in English. It puts Tinkyada to shame and I thought Tinkyada was great - before today. However, as it cost about $8 per package, it may not be worth the extra cost to some.

Thanks floridanative, I will look into it :)

I checked it out and here are the ingredients:

INGREDIENTS: Maize Starch, Rice Starch, Potato Flour, Isolated Soya Proteins, Defatted Soya Flour, Emulsifier (mona and diglycerides of fatty acids).

Bummer, lots of soy :(

I noticed they also sell the Pastariso brand at GLuten Solutions, this is what I have always eaten and I really like it. My store has stopped carrying it though :(

Nope - no soy in my Bi-Aglut. You may have read on a site the old ingredients since I think it had soy until Feb. of this year. There is a disclaimer saying that the plant conditions regarding soy are unknown like they make something with soy there maybe. Since I don't avoid soy it doesn't affect me but for those of you who do, you could e-mail the company and inquire about soy. They probably got rid of it to increase the customer base. Interestingly Bi-Aglut is not peanut free due to lupiene....maybe that is soy...I don't know. I wrote allergygrocer.com to ask. I'd hate for people to miss a great pasta like this if they can eat it safely. Even cold it is edible...not exactly like wheat pasta when cold but almost. It's really amazing!

My very very favorite pasta altough I havent tried the kind you are talkin about is Bio Nature, Penne or really any of them are great they taste like what I remember of regular pasta, they make regular pasta also but test the batches for the presence of gluten, make sure the bag says gluten free...and Fresh Market carries it!

Thanks for telling me about Bionature. They have that at my Publix but only the glutenous kind. There is a health food store that carries their gluten free stuff so I'll give it a try. I'd like to keep from paying for shipping my food if possible. I can get 10 different kinds of Tinkyada pasta at Whole Foods but now that I had Bi-Aglut it just doesn't compare.

I recently made a great pasta salad we were eating for three days (made a bunch for a party and had leftovers as not as many showed - more for us!!!) with Tinkyada pasta, the rotelli (spiral) pasta. It was much better than last year's - I cooked it differently. I used the low energy tip on the package - boiled the pasta for 2 mins, then turned off the stove, put a lid on the pot, and let it sit for 20 mins. It was perfect and didn't soak up the mayo.

Then I tried boiling water in my plug-in T-Fal rapid boil teakettle, poured it over the pasta, heated on the stove back to boiling (for one minute) then turned it off and let it sit for 10 mins. It was fine, then, too.

OK, also tried letting it sit for 20 mins another time recently, but for some reason forgot to TURN OFF the stove, so it cooked for 20 mins with the LID on - I was in the other room - and it was pretty well cooked but still edible! That stuff is pretty hardy.

I can't have corn or potato so this new stuff is out for me. For those wondering, though, Tinkyada is awesome. Even my really discerning SIL was surprised - tastes just like the real stuff.

I've found from working with Asian rice noodles that if you soak them in warm water until flexible prior to ,boiling, they not only cook quicker but have a bouncier texture when cooked.

Some of the noodlle I find in the Asian markets are very thick, like spaghetti or long Italian macaroni, and they get doughy and make a sticky mess when boiled for 20 minutes dry, but only take 4 minutes or so when soaked.

I tried this once with Tinkyada spaghetti, and it worked. I tried it with Chreese mac & cheese elbow pasta and it fell apart. Of course, when boiled from dry the Chreese pasta was doughy and unappealing anyway.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions...

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important...

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
