Buying Flour On Ebay

Has anyone had any issues with buying gluten free flours from eBay? I guess the big thing to be concerned about would be CC. Or does anyone know a good store (probably online) where you can buy bulk flours so you can mix your own? It just seems like this would be so much more cheaper than buying it pre-mixed.

Thanks, Stephanie

I know that you can order Bob's Red Mill flours in 25 lb bags online or by mail order. I don't really like many of their pre-made mixes, but I love buying their flours. I'm fortunate to live near their store, so I always go there to buy in bulk. Their mixed gluten-free flour is $34 for 25 lbs, white rice flour is $17.80 for 25 lbs and tapioca flour is $29.25 for 25 lbs. This is how I buy the flours that I use most often. I do a lot of baking and it really saves money to buy in bulk in the long run. I think it's a waste of money to buy things that I can easily make like cookies, cakes, and brownies. I may just change my mind when I start graduate school though. :D

Thanks Jenny! It's just myself and my husband so I don't think we could go through that much flour before it went bad.

Kinnikinnick.com has all of the individual flours for purchase. Shipping is a flat rate of $10 no matter how much you buy. Their bagels, cinnamon rolls, cookies, donuts, and bread are all fabulous too. I always place a huge order when I order flour. All of the pre-baked goods need to be frozen when you recieve them.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
