Where Do You Buy Your gluten-free Flours Online?

I'm in Oklahoma, where there is very little variety in health food stores. Mine does not have bulk bins and I probably wouldn't trust it even if it did. The prepackaged flours are mighty expensive.

Any favorite sites? :D

I've only bought Authentic Foods direct from the company online, & it's still pricey!!!

Do you by chance have any Asian groceries nearby? That's where I've found my best buys, with rice, bean, tapioca & other flours at amazingly low prices. If you don't have any near you, try searching online for Asian foods & see what you find. That's the only CHEAP source I've found.

Oh-- I just remembered though, somebody posted that Amazon has a discount grocery with some good deals. You might try that.

Good luck!

For flours, the cheapest place I've found is www.kinnikinnick.com.

There is an Asian district in Oklahoma City called "Little Saigon" - I googled it and found 3 Asian grocery stores that look promising. I'll make the trek up there on Wednesday and see what I can find.

Thanks!!! :D

Have you triedKinnikinnick's brown rice flour? Is it superfine?

Authentic foods won't ship to Canada but Kinnikinnik will. Just wondering.

The only flour I've bought online is Namaste's pancake mix (because my husband will eat it too) and Montina flour, which is a wild rice alternative that is higher in protein and works very well for gluten free baking in combination with other flours like rice flour.

I just saw Montina Flour the other day in my Wild Oats, I didn't realize it was wild rice? Good to know.

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
