Storing Gluten Free Products

My husband was diagnosed with Celiac about 3 months ago and so he has been gluten free ever since. We try to keep a 3-6 month food storage for our family but I am wondering what experience anyone has had with storing some of the gluten free grains and other ingrediants. It is easy to store white rice as a grain and then grind it but brown rice has a shorter shelf life because it has a higher moisture content. Can the shelf life be improved if it is frozen or refrigerated? There are so many different grains that I use in my baking-does anyone know if there is a list or something somewhere that will help me to know shelf life and the best way to store all of these items as well as ways to buy them in bulk in order to save a little money? I just want to be prepared in case of an emergency because I would imagine that if there were a disaster it might be even more dificult to get some of the specialty items than it would be to get non gluten free items. Thanks for the help!

You are correct about the brown rice (or brown rice flour). It can go rancid, so you should store brown rice flour, as well as soy flour or any bean flours, in the freezer to extend their shelf life. I just store in tupperware or ziploc bags.

After I was diagnosed I went out and bought myself a chest freezer. I store TONS of food in there!! I couldn't imagine having Celiac and not having my freezer.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS. I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input a...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      Can the rest of your household eat the food with gluten instead of getting rid of it? Can you create one shelf, or partial shelf, for your new food in the pantry, in the fridge and in the cabinets as a start? My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods...

I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods go on the upper shelves so crumbs with gluten can’t fall onto them. Good luck!
