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

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
