PASTA

Does anyone have trouble eating pasta? I notice that after I eat it, I feel sort of anxious. I wouldn't say I dump on it, I just notice a jittery feeling afterwards. Yuk!

I don't do carbs but stuff like that, when I have had a bite or so, made me feel ick so I steer clear. It's probably the high glycemic value of the pasta jacking up your insulin levels that's making you jittery...just a thought.

I ate about 4 or 5 bites of mashed potatoes yesterday and it made me feel yucky too. ~Debra

I can eat about a tsp of pasta without it bothering me..but I dump on potato! Cj

I tried some Angel Hair Pasta last night. I thought it would be okay because it was fine and well cooked, but was I wrong. It was really heavy on my tummy. I do mashed and baked potatoes just fine, and even had a couple of teaspoons of rice, but pasta....nope. Patti

I can't do pasta, rice, tortillas, bread, crackers, etc....They just sit like a rock in my tummy. Tried pasta again tonight (3 bites) and I had to go get rid of it... Think it is the swell factor for me.... Anne

Carol, are you using spaghetti sauce on the pasta? Sometimes the sauces are very high in sugar, so check that out. I've tried pasta a couple of times, but it didn't sit too well - I can't tolerate more than a couple of tablespoons, which is probably a good thing since I'm really trying to stick to low carb.

I tolerate pasta just fine. There is a low carb pasta called Carb Fit. It has 26 grams of protein for 1/2 cup. I tried it and the flavor is good. I only have bread/pasta about once a week.
