1. I had a foster son who was on a gluten free/wheat free diet.

Gluten and wheat are in almost all foods sold in the US. It was a challenging diet.

2. Nice resource. Not available within 50 miles of

Minneapolis St. Paul, though, so it'd have to be ordered online. Still, for people who need a gluten free diet, this would add some good options.

3. Brown rice pasta

is available at Trader Joe's. About 3-4 different types.

8. Tinkyada makes the best rice pasta, IMHO and experienced opinon.

Decent price, I can order it by the case online.
Even the non-celiacs in the house like it.

4. The asian or oriental food section in most supermarkets also carries

a variety of noodles made from rice. It's important to check the label for ingredients, but most are gluten-free and quite useful in most recipes. I use them a great deal in my cooking.

6. People who actually have celiac disease need to do more than just

read a label. They must make sure the food has not been contaminated with wheat flour during processing. You are entitled to eat anything you like, but please do not give false medical information to others. Again.

7. What on earth are you talking about?

12. I gave no medical advice whatsoever. I offered a bit of information

about rice-based noodles. I'm not sure what you're angry about, but it's misdirected in this case.

13. Something tells me they were worried about their Phlogiston levels. n/t

[Warpy]

17. Celiac disease can be life threatening

and that leads to overcompensatory behavior like refusing to enter a kitchen where a pie might have been baked on the off chance there is still a little wheat flour dusting the air.

I have a mild allergy. If I had celiac, I might go overboard, too.

5. These are the best rolls

We did gluten free for a while this summer - VERY VERY challenging. We were also dairy & soy free - and we're vegetarians. Not a whole lot left to eat.

We should do it again - we really did feel better off of it - but it's just too difficult with all the other dietary challenges we currently have.

10. Look into cooking

with almond, coconut, quinoa flours.

9. I must say that the only time I had

gluten free pasta (visiting someone whose husband needed to be gluten-free) it was totally dreadful. All I could think of was: Why bother? Just eliminate all wheat products and don't screw around with pretend.

I feel the same way about tofu which tries to pretend it's meat. Look, if you don't eat meat, just don't eat meat. Don't bother with pretend substitutes.

Personally, I have no food allergies, cheerfully eat meat every chance I get. But if I suddenly couldn't or wouldn't consume something, I'd just get all gung-ho for whatever real food was still available to me.

15. I consider textured vegetable protein to be analogous to 8 bit whatever,

tofu to be 16 bit, sirloin to be 24 bit and filet to be, what else but 32 bit.

[Enthusiast]

14. We made a casserole

using a Deboles pasta. It was excellent.

On Tuesday we made a ground venison Lasagna using Tinkyada pasta. It was wonderful. Unfortunately "something", some ingredient or other, nailed me. We think it might have been the ricotta cheese. But the label mentioned nothing suspicious.

[Warpy]

16. I like the quinoa/corn pastas about the best

and the corn pastas are very good, too, although a little fussier when it comes to cooking times (30 seconds too long and you get mush).
