New To Celiac And Board

[DEBSY 62]

Hi everyone, I am a new celiac with many questions. I am finding there is no easy cut and dry "diet" to follow. I feel like a pioneer cutting a path through the flour world. Any tips and tricks you could pass my way would be so helpful. I eat pretty plainly would like a bread and tortilla recipe to make at home that works , scarred to spend megga bucks for flours and have it turn out gross. Part of the experiment I guess. Glad to be here and I look forward to talking with you all. Debbie in Ont Canada.

Well I usually convert old recipes to gluten free by using the following mix: 3 parts white rice flour, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch/flour and 1 tsp xanthan gum per 1.5 cup flour. This mix has not failed me yet. When recipes call for you to coat meat with flour I use cornstarch.

Here's a link to a great bread recipe:

Favorite products of mine:

Tinkyada pasta

Bob's Red Mill baking mix

Progresso Creamy Mushroom soup (thicken it and use it for casseroles)

If there is something specific you need (brand, how to make something, what to eat, etc)----just ask! And, the search tool is a great function.

Make sure that you know if something is safe BEFORE you eat it---don't risk it. And, make sure you know how something was prepared, to minimize risks of cross contamination (i.e., when eating out).

Welcome to the board :)
