Flour Canisters

I'm looking for some nice quality canisters that will hold my homemade gluten free flour blend and my coconut flour.

 

I was considering buying them on Amazon, but am concerned by quality after reading some of the reviews. I don't want something cheap and flimsy that will get dented up easily or not seal well.

 

Any suggestions?

I get glass one's at Hobby Lobby.  They have different sizes and have the rubber tight seal that is air tight.  Plus, they are seriously affordable. I keep all my different flours in them.

Something you can keep in the freezer is a good idea. Gluten free flours like rice don't keep as well on the counter as wheat flour would.

I would avoid glass if you are keeping whole grain/nut flours in the freezer, unless it specifically says freezer safe.  (I have learned that the hard way, lol)

 

I use snapware.  The name brand will last longer than the store brand, and they are square and stack nicely.  But definitely get something that is going to fit into the desired space... they make lots of shapes and sizes.

I have always kept flour in the freezer. It can last for years and years. Not sure about all the gluten free flours for the exact freezer life, but I am assuming it is the same or similar to wheat flour. I love glass to store, but I keep my flours in plastic sealed bins in my garage freezer. That freezer (on my third one) is invaluable!

King Arthur Flour makes some nice ones in a variety of sizes.  The special bread pans they make for gluten-free bread are also worth the investment.

lpellegr,

I haven't ventured into gluten free bread baking yet, but I recently bought some run-of-the mill stainless steel pans for gluten-free bread recipes. Haven't used them yet though...can you tell me how/why gluten-free bread pans are different? Will gluten-free bread baked in a regular pan fail? I'd love to borrow from your experience. Thanks!

Try tupperware. They have some great storage containers. I use them and love them.

The pans on the King Arthur site are USA Pans.  They have higher sides.  With Gluten free bread, if you use a regular size bread pan, the rising bread will fall over the sides of the pan.  It is well worth the investment for this pan.  Very sturdy and well made.

 

Good Luck

i use canning jars.  they will also work in the freezer.  

 

i actually use canning jars for lots of things - they are great for taking salads for picnics - macaroni, potato, ect <in the warm weather, you can put a big bowl of (say) potato salad into (say) 4 quart jars and then just take out one at a time.  clear glass, so you can tell what's in each one.  takes up less space on the table, and you are keeping the rest of it out of the heat.  we do this when we are camping, too :)  plus, they stand up in the cooler and are less likely to be 'drowned' with melting ice.  i have seen on pinterest & such, where people use them to make individual garden salads in smaller ones, then pour the dressing on them & shake & eat.  that sounds like something to try for this summer :)

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled...

      Just diagnosed today

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation...

      Am I nuts?

      Your experience is absolutely valid, and you are not "nuts" or a "complete weirdo." What you are describing aligns with severe neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity, which is a recognized, though less common, presentation. Conditions like gluten ataxia and peripheral neuropathy are documented in medical literature, where gluten triggers an autoimmune...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Some members here take GliadinX (a sponsor here) if they eat out in restaurants or outside their homes. It has been shown in numerous studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines. This would be for small amounts of cross-contamination, and it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much...

The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Your experience is absolutely valid, and you are not "nuts" or a "complete weirdo." What you are describing aligns with severe neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity, which is a recognized, though less common, presentation. Conditions like gluten ataxia and peripheral neuropathy are documented in medical literature, where gluten triggers an autoimmune response that attacks the nervous system, leading to symptoms precisely like yours—loss of coordination, muscle weakness, fasciculations, and even numbness. The reaction you had from inhaling flour is a powerful testament to your extreme sensitivity. While celiac disease is commonly tested, non-celiac gluten sensitivity with neurological involvement is harder to diagnose, especially since many standard tests require ongoing gluten consumption, which you rightly fear could be dangerous. Seeking out a neurologist or gastroenterologist familiar with gluten-related disorders, or consulting a specialist at a major celiac research center, could provide more validation and possibly explore diagnostic options like specific antibody tests (e.g., anti-gliadin or transglutaminase 6 antibodies) that don't always require a gluten challenge. You are not alone; many individuals with severe reactivity navigate a world of invisible illness where their strict avoidance is a medical necessity, not a choice. Trust your body's signals—it has given you the most important diagnosis already.
