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!

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 :)

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
