hi guys, I've been doing pretty good adapting recipes to gluten-free, made a great seafood pasta with white sause today :D but I'm lost when it comes to flour..If a recipe calls for a cup of flour or I need to bread chicken what type of flour would I use? rice?? I've been using cornstarch when its only a TBLS or for thicking a sause.

thanks

I have been using a gluten-free All Purpose flour mix made by Bob's Red Mill. There are several out there. I actually just bought a 5 lb bulk package of Bette Hagman's mix online the other day to use when the Bob's runs out. I used cup for cup with the Bob's. I made my homemade chocolate chip cookies with it and couldn't really tell a difference!

This new one I ordered online does not use the bean flour...only white rice flour, potato starch flour and tapicoa flour. I was going to mix it myself, but for 5 lbs it was only $10.79, so it seemed better to do it that way. It can be used cup for cup as well, according to Bette Hagman's cookbooks.

HTH!

I have her newer one "The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Fast & Healthy". I borrowed a couple of her others from DH's coworker who is Celiac too and they are great cookbooks! She has that flour mix and her 4 bean flour mix in the books, plus TONS of other great recipes! You could try the library first to see if you like them or will use them.

I got the flour from www.ener-g.com

Here is the direct link to the flour:

I'll take a look for the cookbook..we have a used bookstore in town. I'm sorry to say I'm banned from the library :huh: I took 3 books out 12 years ago and never brought them back, now I can't find them :rolleyes:

You are very welcome!

I have the same problem with library books! LOL! I have been better since I have had my kids, but I can't seem to ever bring them back on time. We have a small library in town that doesn't have overdue fees....I like that A LOT! hehe!

In my opinion, the cookbooks are worth the $$. I find myself getting bored eating the same thing over and over and I am so sensitive to so many different things that it is nice to be able to try new recipes.

I now seem to be having trouble with soy, had it this week and it felt like I was glutened, I wish there was an easy way to figure out the intolerances, its a guessing game

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
