What to do with amaranth flour?

Hi guys,

I rarely bake, and was thinking I should do some because a: it's getting cold out, and b: I've got a bunch of random flour I should use up before it goes off.

Discovered in my cupboard: a full bag of AMARANTH flour?! What ever possessed me to buy amaranth flour?

So, what do you do with amaranth? I read it's better for savory things?

Also in my cupboard/fridge/freezer: buckwheat flour, brown rice flour, coconut flour, maybe oat flour (or can grind some into flour) ... that's about it right now.
Also, flax meal, tapioca starch, egg replacer, baking powder/soda, etc. I think I'm out of xanthan gum.

Any suggestions? I'm dairy/soy free too.
I want to get this stuff used up, and hopefully have something tasty to show for it.

Thanks!

Savory, never used it, how well does it thicken? Might be suitable for gravies, soups and sauces as  a thickening agent. I use coconut flour and oat flour like that also. I can think it would go great in my old broccoli and mushroom casserole or for use making a sauced topping of sauteed veggies, for toppings in dishes with thin sliced sauteed onions, bit of minced garlic with a tad bit of cooking wine and a bit of the flour for example.

Hmm, I have no idea. the bag is still sealed. I knew I had a weird flour hiding in the back of my cupboard. though it was going to be sorghum or something but SURPRISE!

I guess I'll have to start looking up recipes...

Yeah I have a random bag of sorghum and millet laying around....Thinking I might try making a pumpkin banana bread combo with each one and give them away tomorrow. Got them for baking but learned you can not sell anything made with sorghum at farmers markets around here as it is against health regulations. (odd rule) And the millet was a tad grainy but should work great with a bunch of pumpkin and banana in a vegan bread. As for amaranth, I have some amaranth grains, but I found they pop like mini popcorns in a skillet and use them for salad toppers.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
