Spaghetti Factory Review

My little guy wanted Spaghetti Factory for his birthday dinner. I knew they had a gluten-free menu but I was skeptical as I have tried gluten-free pasta at home and just about threw up. I ordered the half meat sauce, half mizthra cheese. It was delicious and I ate the entire bowl of pasta - the texture was great and had no indication it was gluten-free. The pasta was by DeBoles. Even the pesto salad dressing was gluten-free. First meal I have had in over a month I left full and satisfied! :D

That is great! Glad you liked it!

I wanted to mention there are ALOT of good gluten free pasta options. The trick with gluten-free pasta is to NOT OVER COOK= A mushy mess with slimy taste. Make sure you follow the directions to a T or even back down the time a minute or two. My favorite brand is Tinkyada for lasagna, spaghetti, penne etc!! But Quinoa pasta is the firmest, great for casseroles or pasta salads. Also very good is rice noodles or potato pasta! You can enjoy great pasta with no gluten-free taste at home!!

I've tried it too and loved it. They used a corn-based pasta, which is why it's so light.

We LOVE the DeBoles in the green box - Gluten Free Multi Grain (Brown Rice/Quinoa/Amaranth). There is NOTHING bad about that! I don't really like the rice ones, particularly the Great Value brand. It always turns out gummy for me. We like the green ones so much that I'm having a family member bring me back a dozen boxes from CA ($2.79/box at Henry's - anyone know where to order on line close to that price?). Where I live, we don't have as many choices of places to find that. Whole Foods is it and whole paycheck is more like it. :(

That is wonderful! My family likes to go out to dinner to celebrate birthdays as well and it has been challenging to figure out safe AND kid friendly places for my son to eat. If you don't mind me asking which Spaghetti Factory did you go to?

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

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

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
