Which Brands Of Flours Have The Least "grit"

Hi,

I've been baking with some different flour blends for awhile. I've found that the Bette Hagman 4 bean flour mix produces a really nice tasting cookie, almost as good as "regular" cookies. However it still has a slightly "gritty" aftertaste. I'm wondering if it might be the brands of flour I'm using. I've used the Bob's Red Mill bean flour, Ener-G tapioca & potato starch flours & Goya white rice flour.

Does anyone have any opinions on which flour brands are best? Thanks.

I really like Beth's All-Purpose Baking Flour by Gluten-Free Pantry. Their description is - Description: Use the Gluten-Free Pantry All Purpose Baking Flour blend in all gluten free recipes. To convert any recipe, simply use a cup of all purpose gluten free baking flour to replace 1 cup of regular flour.

I make my own flour blend using Annalise Roberts recipe. She suggests using Authentic Foods rice flour and I have to say, for me that is the key to "no grit". IMO this is the best flour out there. You can use pretty much any other brand for the other flours, but definately Authentic Foods for the rice flour.

I also really like their pancake mix.

I use Kinnikinnick brand flours. You can buy them online at www.kinnikinnick.com. I think they're the finest grit flour I've tried to date. I use them in my normal recipes and they turn out just fine, very normal tasting and normal texture. :)

I just went to Alliance Ohio yesterday to a gluten free bakery and asked Kathy what flours are good to use to avoid gritty texture and she uses a mixture with thapioca, and Navy bean flour . Her stuff is very good . I tasted her coffe cake and brownies very good. I don't know exactly what amt to use but also the xanthum gum along with other ingredients usually used in baked goods

      I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease abput 10 years ago. When I was initially diagnosed my only "symptom" was persistently low iron (that occasionally dipped into anemia). After diagnosis,  over time, I started to develop symptoms when exposed to gluten--they have been overall relatively minor, but have increased over time (and yes, I realize my guts are likely being wrecked regardless of the symptoms) on the rare occasions I've been exposed to gluten. I had COVID19 last week (now testing negative) and was glutened last night (never trust anything labeled gluten-free in a mixed environment). I had my traditional symptoms (sharp gas pains, burping, nausea, stomach ache) but they were accompanied by new, more intense symptoms (muscle cramps all over my body--feet, calves, biceps, neck, shoulders, jaw, abdomen, I'm still sore today and cold sweats). I spent about 6 hours writhing before I felt well enough to get up.  I have been told by my allergist that COVID19 can cause your immune system to hyper react. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.   Has anyone else had experience getting glutened post COVID19? Relatively shortly after recovering from COVID19? Was it a more extreme reaction or same? I can't seem to find any articles on this, so I thought I'd ask the community.  Thank you!

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.
