Looking For gluten-free Flour At A Good Price?

Hi,

This is a local store we purchase from in wisconsin. They are very celiac friendly! They have a section of their store that is all gluten free. Some pasta too. We buy all of our flour from them. The website is Cathysbulkfoods.com. I'm not sure what shipping charges are, but it's worth the look. We save a lot of money there. Hope this helps some of you!

Hi Amy.

We live in Eagle, WI. I have to go to Pewaukee to find most of our gluten-free stuff, but I also order from www.shopbydiet.com. Where is this store you mentioned? Also....are you familiar with any commercial brands of cereal that are gluten-free? There are a few people talking on the board about some General Mills cereals that are gluten-free...but my son and I must have spent about 15 minutes in the cereal aisles of Pick-N-Save and the Super WalMart and found nothing!

Anyways - glad to see another Wisconsinite on the boards. Have a great night!

Wow, that looks great!! Have you tried their brown rice flour? I noticed that have two different kinds--I wonder if either of them is the superfine-grind that eliminates all the grittiness? I do like Authentic Foods brand, but the price is just ridiculous--$11.99 for 3 pounds, on the Authentic Foods website.

Anyway, thanks for posting this--it's great to be able to find out these things!

Cathys Country Store is in Appleton, WI. Also I'm not sure on the cereal. It seems like my daughter gets sick even when companies say their product is gluten free. So, we play it the safe way. We make a hot rice cereal on the stove and add some sugar and cinnamon. If you'd like to know about that I'd be glad to post it for you. Sorry I wasn't much help on the cereal.

Hi,

I have used both. They are ground fine, but I'm not sure what you're used to. Also, I don't think there is a difference between the 2. Glad to see it might be able to save you some money!

I have tried Bob's Red Milll, which is somewhat gritty, Hodgson Mill, which is VERY grittty, and Authentic Foods, which is superfine like cornstarch, but at $4 a pound, I don't want to get it anymore if I don't have to!

I just took it out and felt it. It is powdery like a starch, but you can feel some texture to it. I think it's what you're looking for. Unfortunately I have never used any other brands but what they have at their store. It's all we can afford. Sorry I can't be more help.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
