Yep it works.... it all depends on the roux really as to which type of gluten-free flour works best...

As a general rule I find rice flour works best for really light ones and more robust ones a bit of corn or even heavier added buckwheat flour... if the rest of the flavors are subtle then rice flour can be better than real flour...

I haven't made the roux traditionally with the flours (melt butter, add flour, brown up, etc).

BUT...I have mixed cornstarch in the milk, then heated it until thick, added butter (for flavor) salt & pepper, etc.

I've used that to make soups, white sauce, and cheese sauce for noodles.

It's always tasted great.

I use Bob's Red Mill all-purpose flour. Despite the fact that it contains bean flours, it doesn't give off a beeeny flavor in the sauce. The flavor blends well.

I do what kbabe does to make a white sauce :)

For a roux, I use either potato or corn starch. I find they're smoother than rice flour for this.

Me, too! :)

I use Bob's Gluten Free All-Purpose too. Works perfect.

I use sweet rice flour and it seems to work.

I second that on the sweet rice flour...with regular white or brown rice flour in my experience it ends up a little grainy/gritty. I like to throw in some potato starch and tapioca starch too, not too much tapioca though or it gets slimy. I've made gumbo and etouffe several times this way with good results.

I use my regular flour mix to make a roux and it turns out very nicely. 3 parts white rice, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch.

Since the sweet rice flour is actually a "starch" and not a "flour" like regular rice flour is, it thickens just like corn, tapioca, or potato starch. I find it's smoother, too, than rice flour since it "dissolves" in the liquid unlike rice flour. For that same reason, I use it most of the time for making roux.

So all of these roux ideas you all are talking about, they brown with the oil like traditional flour? Cause my husband loves to make this Emeril recipe for "Turkey Gumbo Ya-ya" and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it, but now I can't have it. Would love to have some flour idea to subsitute and make the gumbo taste yummy, without altering the flavor.

      Does anybody know of a guide that ranks reevaluates universities and colleges in terms of their accommodation of celiac disease or food allergies?   Thanks in advance for any leads! Valerie

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet 
    • Scott Adams
      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely? 
    • Scott Adams
      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):
