I found this pasta named Dreamfileds. Total cardb is 41g per serving. But it aslo says 5 g of digestable carbs. So heres my? If I buy this do I give coverage for the 41 or considered it a free food unless I put sauce on it? I asked the pharmicist and all she said was give smaller portions. ugh so did not answere my ?
our dietition said its a crapshoot. we used it a couple of times and ended up covering less than the 41, but more than the 5; somewhere around 20 if i remember right.
we just use regular pasta, its not worth the guesswork and it doesn't cause him to spike after eating, but as they say "your diabetes may differ" :)
carbs that aren't carbs? that sounds strange to me.... from their site:
A. While the total number of carbohydrates is the same as traditional pasta, our patent-pending formula and unique manufacturing process protects all but 5 grams of carbohydrates from being digested. The Dreamfields fiber and protein blend creates a protective barrier to reduce starch digestion in the small intestine. The unabsorbed, or protected carbohydrates then pass to the colon where they are fermented, providing the same health benefits as fiber.

hmmmm...."fermented", huh???
those of you that have tried it - is it good? do you think it's better, all things considered, than regular pasta?
