I just tried mung bean fettuccine noodles, and I know mung bean noodles are often called glass noodles, but these are different, and not those round kind.
The have PROTEIN!!! and are flat, and I think I actually like them better than real semolina pasta.
These are more firm and chewy than regular noodles, and I wanted something with protein. I'll put the label below, but think these may be my go-to noodle for a few things. I tried them with pesto sauce, and with alfredo sauce, with prawns. Both were great, and so far, no ill-effects as far as gas.
These are going into my regular rotation. I used these to cook for a gluten free guest, so it's nice to have options.

I found them in a gluten free section.
Here is a link to the same brand, and a place that sells them, but I paid less, so it may be worth checking some gluten free places near you.
I have zero gas going on so far (about 6 hours post noodle) but I'm not a super gassy type, so you may not want to eat several bowl fulls the first time. I DID eat a bunch of it, and should have known better, so I'm glad I'm having zero issues. There's only 0.5gr of fiber, so that my be why.

I just had these, and I loved them. I walked up to my corner grocery to by mai fun - rice noodles - and that's all they had. I used them to make Vietnamese summer rolls, and they were great!
