I know that regular pasta affects me but I am wondering if any doctors or any of you have tried gluten free pasta and how was ur experience???

I bought some (rice type) before I went on SCDiet but ended up throwing it away. SCD excludes all grains (wheat, corn, rice, you name it) so the gluten-free aisle is no good to me now. :-)

The philosophy behind grain-free (this is me talking, not an expert) is to eliminate complex carbohydrates because they are difficult to digest and help harmful bacteria survive in the gut.

I tried some rice spagetti pasta, I really didn't care for it, I can't recall the brand name, but maybe there are good brands out there.

Corn pasta is good. But stay away from the packaged meals (like alfredo). Ugh. Many are inedible. Only Amy's frozen mac and cheese (rice pasta) tastes good, but that's because it's loaded with cheeses and butter!

I eat rice pasta ALL the time - one of my comfort foods. I don't find it bothers me at all, where as too much starchy wheat pasta does.

If I'm flaring, some rice pasta with some olive oil, spinach and either a smooth sauce or v8 juice and salt and pepper goes nicely and gives me calories.

The trick to cooking it is to let the water boil, put the pasta in like normal, but turn it way down and let the pasta cook for the full time. Rinse it well.

Enjoy!!

I use brown rice and quinoa pasta. My kids like the quinoa pasta better than wheat. White rice pasta has too light a texture to hold up to Italian dishes but it is delicious in Thai recipes.

I'm on a Gluten-Free diet and I have no problem with the corn pasta.
