gluten-free Flour Recipe?

Does anyone know if you can mix up a batch of gluten-free flour, that will actually work in recipes, with sorghum flour, potato starch and tapioca starch? I might have a 1/2 C of sweet rice flour somewhere too. I'm out of my flour mix, no time to go to the store, and need to bake something in a little while. I usually use the Bette Hagman recipe to mix up my own. My son needs a treat for after his baseball game and I have nothing on hand and no chance to run anywhere to grab anything.

this might work for you.

carol's gluten-free sorghum flour blend

1 1/2 cups sorghum flour

1 1/2 cups potato starch or cornstarch

1 cup tapioca flour (starch)

1/2 cup corn flour or almond flour or bean flour or chestnut flour

since you have the first 3 ingredients----maybe you could use the sweet rice flour for the las 1/2 cup.

I modified that mix b/c we didn't like the corn flour so I have increased the tapioca flour and it seems to work.

Thanks - does it work for cookies? I found something to tide him over, but still need to bake tonight, if possible.

Yes! They worked w/those chocolate chip cookies I made a few weeks ago.

I used the flour mix and subbed sweet rice flour for the corn flour. My son wanted donuts, so I made the donut recipe from Betty Crocker and baked, rather than deep fried them. They spread all over the cookie sheet, but still tasted pretty good. A good sprinkling of cinnamon sugar while still hot helped.

Bummer! I hate when it spreads all over the cookie sheet!!

Liz ~ did you ever try the sorghum bread recipe for him? I've been making it once/week for Carleigh. Today I made it as muffins w/the leftovers in a mini-loaf pan.

I haven't found a powdered milk replacement yet, so I haven't tried it. Caleb LOVES his sandwiches on brown rice tortillas, corn tortillas and even romaine lettuce leaves, so I haven't worried about bread much lately. He'll eat French toast (he can have eggs, lucky kid) made with Ener-G brown rice bread, so I have it under control for him for now. I'm glad he's finally adapting and not fighting it so much. I do want to try it for me though - I'd like a nice hot slice of bread, even muffin-shaped right about now.

Bummer ~ can he have potato? Vance's Dari-Free is what I use. It's great that he's not fighting it as much. Carleigh isn't fighting it as much either... she loves to eat her sandwiches on romaine lettuce too. But she does like this bread too. I wonder how it would come out w/o the milk powder?

I'm going to try your Apple Jack cookies this week :)

He could have the Vance's, but I'm tired of having to order all this stuff. It would be so nice just to be able to go to the store and buy what we need without having to pay shipping, etc. I might try the recipe without the milk powder and see what happens. But today I have a killer headache (3rd day in a row), and I'm not up to anything besides survival. Good thing it's my day off!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. 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:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
