Winco Pasta

I had some pretty extensive dental work done on Wednesday and have a lot more to take care of. (Scurvy is fun! Okay, not really.) Anyway, Winco is the only local grocery store that carries my favorite greek yogurt so I went to pick up a large container knowing I wouldn't be up to food requiring much chewing for a few days. They have a pretty extensive bulk section which I checked out, I usually can't resist some dried fruit or chocolate.

Anyway, to the point. I found they have gluten free pasta in bulk. I picked up some penne for $1.58 a pound. I was fully prepared for it to either suck or make me sick. It was every bit as good as Tinkyada for a bit less than 1/2 of what I usually pay and I felt fine after eating it. (Last time I had an issue with cc I was sick within about an hour so I'd know pretty quick.) They also had elbows and spaghetti at pretty reasonable prices.

I just thought I'd let anyone in the Utah/Idaho area know that this is out there and at least for me doesn't seem to have any cc issues. I see a summer of pasta salads in my future.

I am in California and I shop at Winco all the time. Have not seen the gluten-free pasta, but have not really looked. I miss pasta that taste good. Is this in the pasta isle or over the counter? I will then check it out. Thanks.

It was in the bulk section, maybe there it's over the counter. Here in Utah the bulk section is all self serve. Just fill up your own bags and mark them with the appropriate bin number. Be careful to make sure you are getting the gluten free stuff since they also sell regular pasta the same way. The varieties I remember seeing were elbows, white rice elbows (ewww I hate white rice pasta) penne and spaghetti. I know there was a fifth kind but my memory and I aren't friends today.

The penne was just past done after 11 minutes, I'd say it probably is ready after about 9 which is a bit faster than what I've experienced with Tinkyada so watch your cook times closely. (Even overcooked it held up well as microwaved leftovers today, I'm quite impressed and still feeling fine.)

Not everything gluten free is reasonably priced though. They had small nutri-grain style bars (about half the size) for 99 cents. I passed on those, who pays a buck for half a breakfast bar? :o

Our Winco in Everett WA has boxed gluten-free pasta. Not sure about the bulk but we don't buy much bulk food. Mainly only wrapped things.

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

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      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 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

      @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.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
