Alternative To Rice Flour

I'm pretty sure I'm intolerant to rice, but nearly all my gluten-free recipes have some rice flour in. I'm new to all this gluten-free baking, so was wondering can I just substitute any gluten-free flour for rice flour, or will that change the finished product? I'm particularly keen to find a non-rice way of making bread.

Thanks!

Susie

Susie--I seem to be in the same boat as you. I am increasingly sensitive to rice. I believe I proved that yesterday by having spanish rice for dinner, and chocolate cake--homemade using Ener-g rice flour mix. At 4 AM, I woke up nauseous. This morning, I'm very itchy and feel out of it. But back to your question about alternatives, I want to try and come up with a mix that is based on sorghum flour. I do well with the cookies from Enjoy Life--the ones that use the sorghum flour. The problem is, I can only find Bob's Red Mill and I don't want to use that brand because so many people here have reported problems with their stuff. I plan to use the sorghum flour and potato starch in a mixture, possibly with corn starch. Hopefully others who have a bit more experience with this will share it.

Hi there! I am intolerant to rice and have a lot of recipes on hand. Other than bread, what else are you interested in? :) I'll post a whole bunch for you, or pm me if you'd like.

Oh... please post them all :D I'm in the same boat w/my daughter..

Patti ~ Bob's Red Mill is the only sorghum I can get too.. I've been using it but would love to find another source to be safe.

Cheri--I was searching this afternoon, and found one right here! Go to Gluten Free Food at the left of the screen. Then to Baking Ingredients, and scroll down to Authentic Foods Sorghum Flour. Their ad says they're made in a facility dedicated to gluten-free--or some words to that effect. I will be ordering some. And wouldn't you know it, I just placed an order for some Enjoy Life stuff--only wish I'd seen this sooner!

These are some of my favourite!

These are great, but when I made them, I altered parts of it. (If you want to know which things, let me know. I am sure they are fantastic as is, too).

I have my own that I have made up, but they are in my recipe book which isn't in this room. I think I just got glutened or am having a weird reaction, ironically, so I don't really feel like getting up. Let me know though. :) Hope this helps for now.

Thanks Lorka ~ I'll go check those out... I would like to know the subs that worked for you too! Hope that you are feeling better!

Patti ~ check out this link.Open Original Shared Link for sorghum flour too that I just got from my other allergy board... They've got recipes too. I think when I'm w/the BRM, I will order from them. Looks cheaper too!

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.

      Ok, thanks for the advice, the only advice I've had that's made sense after 21years since my slight symptoms all my life turned into nasty symptoms 21 yrs ago and around 50 gp's and specialists all chasing the symptoms and not looking for the cause, after 9 years of misery I discovered my symptoms matched celiac disease and a blood test proved anti bodies to gliadin but it was too late it has changed into r.c.d. thanks again.

      Welcome to the forum, @QueenBorg! Just for the sake of clarification, your desire to avoid gluten is connected only with your dx of fibromyalgia and not celiac disease, correct?
