I also live in Australia and have also tried to find sorghum flour. I have been using amaranth flour in place of sorghum and it seems to blend in ok. Amaranth flour is available at health food shops and online. It seems to keep best in a glass container in the fridge.

Hope this helps.

Can't you order sorghum flour online? Anyway there are a lot of other flours but I haven't looked for a match in this case. I'd guess you'd want to look at the fiber, carbs and protein content, and see what is close to it. Of course the taste/texture it imparts will matter, but that's probably more subject to preference.

Here are some gluten-free flours:

Almond Meal Flour

Amaranth Flour

Black Bean Flour

White Bean Flour

Buckwheat Flour

Cashew Flour

Cassava Flour

Chestnut Flour

Yellow Corn Flour

White Corn Flour

Fava Bean Flour

Garbanzo Bean Flour

Mesquite Flour

Millet Flour

Green Pea Flour

Pistachio Flour

Plaintain Flour

Potato Flour

Sweet Potato Flour

Quinoa Flour

Brown Rice Flour

White Rice Flour

Sweet White Rice Flour

Full Fat Soy Flour

Tapioca Flour

Brown Teff Flour

Ivory Teff Flour

There are also certain popular blends, such as a Garbanzo/Fava Bean Flour Blend, or name brand multi-purpose blends.

Hope that helps.

It seems that corn flour is the closest appropriate sub for sorghum, as well as amaranth

Sorghum flour has recently become available in New Zealand, and I suspect we are sourcing it from Oz, so this is probably no longer an issue?

I know this is an old post but I have no drama getting sorghum flour in Australia. Find a middle eastern, indian or african grocery store or fruit market. I buy sorghum flour by the 5kg bag without any problems at all. There are a couple of online stores you can buy it online through... (Open Original Shared Link or Open Original Shared Link) but they are much more expensive than my local fruit market.

      We have a gluten-free household. It's the least stressful option. No one else in my family has Celiac, but they are all extremely supportive. We don't even have Play-doh for this kids.

      @Ronnie d, there is a small percentage of celiacs who have dermatitis herpetiformis but have no small bowel mucosal involvement. Also, we have had some reports on this forum from dermatitis herpetiformis suffers who said Dapsone did not work for them. But for the vast majority it does.
    • Ronnie d
      yes, the above is true. however; if the doctor does the tests and finds your are a candidate then dapsone is the drug that will stop the blisters immediately. dapsone started as a drug for malaria and leprosy....I do not know how it became known for dermatitis herpetiformis. I can tell you that my doctor told me she had several patients that have taken it over 20 years. our dosage was one a day until clear,then we went to every other day for a while, working down to zero a day. I still have an active prescription for dapsone but have not had to take one in several years. in closing, if anyone reads this and has truly been diagnosed for dermatitis herpetiform is, then ask your doctor for dapsone..... for those of you reading this that have never had the blisters and infections from the scratching and oozing fluid...than you can't identify. you can have celiac without dermatitis herpetiform is....but all people with dermatitis herpetaformis have celiac...  a double whammy, so to say.

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.
