Carbe Diem low-carb pasta, plain
A lower-calorie, very high-fiber wheat pasta that may work well in a smaller portion, but the fiber content can cause bloating, gas, or uncomfortable fullness for some people.
Why it received this rating
Carbe Diem pasta is low in fat and provides more protein and fiber than traditional pasta. However, one labeled serving contains 24 grams of fiber, which may be difficult to tolerate when appetite is low, digestion feels slow, or fiber intake has recently increased.

Portion and preparation guidance
Weigh the first portion: 2 oz dry looks small but cooks up to a normal plate and carries 24g of fiber. Half a serving (1 oz dry) is a sensible first test, sauced simply and paired with protein.
Symptoms or considerations
The current label lists 24 grams of fiber per 2-ounce dry serving, so one standard serving provides a large amount of fiber at once. If that portion leaves you bloated, crampy, or uncomfortably full, test 1 ounce dry instead and increase only if it feels comfortable while keeping up with fluids.

Review current Carbe Diem product informationCommon questions
Why can Carbe Diem pasta feel more filling than regular pasta?
The current label lists 24 grams of fiber per 2-ounce dry serving. A smaller serving may feel more manageable if a full bowl leaves you bloated or uncomfortably full.
Is it gluten-free?
No. It is wheat-based, so it is not suitable for celiac disease or a gluten-free diet. Check the current ingredient list if the formulation changes.
What are the current label nutrition facts?
The reviewed label lists 110 calories, 8 grams of protein, 40 grams of total carbohydrate, 24 grams of fiber, 0 grams of sugar, 0.5 gram of fat, and 75 milligrams of sodium per 2-ounce dry serving. Check your current package because formulations can change.
What does the net-carbohydrate number mean here?
Using the label values, 40 grams of total carbohydrate minus 24 grams of fiber equals 16 grams after subtracting fiber. The large fiber amount is also worth considering when choosing a portion.
Can the fiber cause bloating or fullness?
A 24-gram fiber serving is a large single-food fiber load. Some people may notice gas, bloating, cramping, or prolonged fullness after a full serving, so a half serving is a reasonable first test if you are not accustomed to that amount.
