I love this! Great work doing these tests,Lolly! What a labor of love.

My brother in law and both my niece and nephew have celiac disease ( my brother in law survived stage 2 rectal cancer caused by years of inflammation) so GF is always a topic when we are all together.

One that I discovered years back was Garofalo 's quinoa, corn and rice. They make a Caserecce that holds up really well.

I also agree 100% with the moderation attude towards ALL foods,including those containing gluten.

Here in Germany we have incredible breads, with whole grain sourdough being our favorite. Low in gluten and high in protein.

Happy Sunday dear Lolly!

Garofalo is my favorite. I can find it easily in Canada, but only ever saw non-GF Garofalo in Italy.

I’ve been wanting to try the Garafolo and Rummo GF pastas, so with your recommendation, I’ll give them a go. Can’t wait! Please feel free to pas along mine and Rachel’s posts to your family if it could possibly help. I have heard so much about the divine breads in Germany and I hope we can make it up that way soon to try. Sending you a big hug for a super Sunday, Diana! xx

I will have to check out that corn pasta! Looks gorgeous.

I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with diverticulitis and has to stay away from gluten. I’ll pass this along!

Oh I hope it’s helpful, Erin! Be sure to pass along Rachel’s as well with the US results which might be closer to what’s in Canadian markets - not sure! @Rachel Ciordas

I can’t imagine trying to cook seven pans of pasta all at the same time! Well, I can but don’t want to think about it…This is a great article as I have one dear friend who is genuinely celiac and a young relative who prefers not to eat gluten. Your testing is therefore most welcome as one is visiting very soon. Jxx

Oh Jan! I’m so glad this will be helpful for you and your friend! ❤️ Re: the simultaneous cooking - luckily 3 of the pastas were in 1 pack to be cooked together but still 4 pans was more challenging than I imagined 😂 I don’t think I have the female multitasking gene….
