Today I went to Ranch 99 Market and bought rice pasta for $1.49 a bag! Some brands were .99! I will never buy gluten free pasta at other stores for $4-5 a bag! I am so excited to try these noodles. I feel better knowing the asian stores have much better deals on pasta!

Can you tell me what other ingredients are in the noodles? I'm trying to find noodles that I can eat. Thanks.

They just say rice and water. Or rice flour and water.

I do the same thing. The Asian rice noodles work well in things like chicken noodle soup or Tuna noodle casseroles. I have found that they don't have much flavor, though. And they can fall apart easily. I still buy Tinkyada brown rice pasta for my spaghetti and lasagna noodles. The Asian rice noodles don't seem to asorb flavors easily and they get hard again when cold so they aren't the best choice for something like a pasta salad. Another good thing to get at the Asian markets is rice paper wrappers and rice flour. Rice flour is much cheaper there than anywhere else.

*another tip: the rice flours and tapioca flours, potato starch, etc., are SOOO cheap at the Asian market. I just got a pound of sweet rice flour for $1.49 (take that, whole foods!)

Great for baking.

I also saw ingredients like evaporated cane sugar, coconut jelly, all kinds of unusual things that us gluten-free cooking/baking people may need and can't locate or afford.

That's been my trick for the past couple of years. Because I often cooked Asian dishes before, it was one I figured out pretty quick. I buy the wide flat ones, and break them into smaller pieces to replace wide egg noodles. I get the thinner, flat ones for linguini, and even the very thin, brown rice ones for spaghetti.

I also buy rice crackers for .99 a 3.5oz bag (well, until last week, when they went up to 1.29 a bag :angry: ). They are a great alternative to sandwiches with things like egg salad, chicken salad, peanut butter and banana slice :D, etc.

I usually get mine at my local grocery store, which has a great Asian selection, but a new Asian market opened within easy driving distance of my house, and the selection is incredible. They even have some rice crackers w/ a bit of a sugar glaze that I eat for cookies.

      Abscesses on legs

      By trents · Posted

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Hi there, Can you describe them a little more? Do they ooze? Do they itch? Do they spread like a rash or appear like a "boil?" Has a doctor / dermatologist looked at them? Are they big? Do they seem like they could get infected if not careful? Do they disappear? (You say you get them "2/3" months, assuming you meant "2 to 3" - so have the ones that came 2-3 months beforehand disappeared?) Have you noticed what triggers them? Etc. Welcome!

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      Hello, gluten free community! Thank you so much for welcoming me into your space. I'd like to ask if anyone has had a similar experience. 5 years ago, when I was 26, I started getting abscesses on my lower buttcheek every 2/3 months. There have been a lot of them in the past few years! Now for the last year or so, I keep getting absesses on the back of my thighs. I read online that gluten sensitivity can cause skin issues, and I read that it can cause perianal abscesses, but I have not seen anything about abscesses in other locations--has anyone else had this experience? Could this be gluten-related? Much love

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      Scott, I know full well that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and gluten sensitivity is not. And I agree that there is inconsistency in the use of the terms. But my contention is that "gluten intolerance" should not be used of NCGS since "gluten sensitivity" is actually found in the gluten disorder known as Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and, therefore, "gluten intolerance" should be reserved as a common/nonmedical equivalent for celiac disease. It also seems to me that "intolerance" implies something more severe than does "sensitive". And it just seems to me that, though there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms, there is a movement toward using "gluten intolerant" to refer to celiac disease rather than NCGS. But that is just my opinion and perhaps, to be honest, a bit of a personal crusade. Actually, we would all be better off if we quit using the those informal terms "intolerance" and "sensitivity" and just speak of celiac disease and NCGS.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Wow. I mean, I REALLY don't want to give up beer, but I NEVER cheat. I get caught (glutenized in my vernacular), but I never cheat. I didn't even know that was a thing...
