The Best Rice Flour To Cook With

I have recently discovered all the many kinds of flours that health food stores carry. I have tried their rice flour and it doesn't even compare to the kind I've used all my life. My parents found a little Japanese food store when I was little and bought their rice flour by the case. To this day (though my family no longer lives near there) - if my dad goes back in to get flour for me - they remember him! I'm not sure if any japanese food store would sell the same flour - but it is so perfect! The flour is as fine as regular white flour - if not more....so it cooks things so much better. It comes in clear white bags with red japanese writing on it. If I were you - I'd try looking for it if you like to bake!

Also- another tip, I'm not sure if anyone knows about : When baking with rice flour - use Xantham Gum (about 1 tsp per 1 cup of flour). It helps to hold the baked item together better!!

-The absolute best thing I have ever had that is gluten free - Zucchini Bread!! So many gluten free baked products are so dry and yucky tasting...but this homemade bread is moist and delicious! Let me know if you want the recipe and I'll see if I can find it!

Sweet rice flour is definitely the way to go - and seems to be what I usually see in asian markets...

May I please have the recipe for the zucchini bread. Thank you.

I use the sweet rice flour to coat chicken, etc. before frying. My non celiac husband just loves it.

I read in the Gourmet gluten-free baking article (last fall) that Authentic Foods makes a rice flour that is finely ground. Unfortunately I cannot find it. I am going to have to order online.

Zucchini Bread Recipe:

1 c. sugar

1 c. brown sugar

1 c. oil

3 c. rice flour (leveled - don't heap)

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1 3/4 tsp xantham gum

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

3 eggs

2 c. finely grated zucchini

Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl and mix lightly. Combine wet ingredients and mix - then add dry ingredients and mix well. Pour into two greased loaf pans. Bake 1 hour at 325 degrees.

Mix powdered sugar, melted butter and vanilla (not sure amounts - experiment till runny consistency) for glaze. Pour over loafs while they're still warm.

Enjoy!!!

By the way - correction - it's 3/4 tsp of xantham gum to every 1 cup of rice flour! (I found the amount written on one of my recipe cards.)

Here's a yummy brownie recipe too. (I had no idea you could buy brownies in a box till I went to college and my roomies made them that way! They looked so gross compared to my gluten-free homemade ones!)

4 eggs

2 c sugar

1 c. oil

1 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

10 Tbsp cocoa

1 1/2 c. rice flour (scoop low - don't heap)

1 tsp. xanthum gum

Bake 30 min. at 350 degrees in greased 9x13 pan.

Hope you enjoy them!

      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! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
