My DH has recently found he may have to go gluten and diary free to see what is causing his various ailments. My experience with different brands of gluten free pasta is singularly negative. The pasta sticks together and is just claggy.
Any good brand recommendations for gluten free products such as pasta?

Casalare gluten free and wheat free macaroni twists. I got the box from IGA.
I cooked it for someone who doesn't eat gluten and she declared it the best gluten-free pasta she had ever had. It tasted ok to me and it didn't stick together.
Good luck with your search.

San Remo is good. You will have to get used to cooking it a bit less to usual pasta, a bit of trial and error is necessary. Thier gluten free lasagne sheets are the best, in favt I bought some just today! They are usually in the regular pasta section of the shop, not the health food section.
GF weetbix are excellent too.

Thank you! Will try these brands.

Try quinoa pasta as well if you find it. I buy organic quinoa pasta from Kunara Organics at Forrest Glenn and its very good.
The GF pasta overcooks very quickly and becomes a gluey mess if not watched carefully. It needs a lot less time then normal pasta to cook. I often 'cook' it by putting one cup in the thermo server and cover with boiling water. Put lid on and usually start checking at 4 mins to see how if is. Last lot was cooked at 6 mins.

why not look in Quirky Jo's book as well.
