Betterbatter Gluten-free Flour

EDIT: THE WEBSITE IS WWW.BETTERBATTER.ORG--sorry about the confusion

The website is www.betterbatter.com--and they have recipes on the website!

You can order some of their flour--it's supposed to be a cup-for-cup replacement for the gluteny stuff--and have it shipped, but I've been trying to get ahold of the buyer for our local supermarket so that I can request that they carry it.

I believe that they donate some or all of the profits to autism research, too. :)

If anybody gets a hold of some, let us know if it's as good as it looks.

I posted about better batter under the publictions section a week or two ago.

Fiddle-Faddle , there is not anyone carrying this around us as yet. Naomi (owner) is looking into attending the seminar in Oct in Pgh -- I think at the embassey by Airport....I will keep you updated if she makes it to that seminar.

She has a great blog & site with useful info & it is very well written. I , myself don't care for ranting blogs but this one is excellent. She also has a recipe for Krispy Kreme Donuts...The bread section is messed up at present but I'm sure Naomi will get it back to the correct info very soon.

The flour blend comes to me with high ratings.......

yup its www.betterbatter.org i have some in the bread maker right now, apparantly you just double the liquid in the recipes and put it on gluten free setting. smells good so hopefully it will turn out better then yesterday, ugh what a mess that was, my hubby laughed his but off when he saw it, looked like something curled in the bread maker and died!

I didn't try betterbatter's site before I posted. It came up for me with no problems so I think it is working & not closed down..... I did a search on betterbatter homepage & it came up immediately......

check it out again & keep me posted.

I just ordered a bag. I love baking, especially as the weather turns colder. I plan on just substituting this flour in my favorite recipes. Hope it works. :rolleyes:

I just received a case of this over the weekend. I've spent the entire time baking and cooking with it (aside from sleeping and caring for the children.)

To say I am ecstatic wouldn't be enough.

I just recently found her site last week, and after 8 weeks of trying everything out there, and being absolutely depressed with the results (I was one of those avid...a.k.a. obsessive bakers prior to finding out my son was gluten-free in early February, who bought 50 lbs of organic flour at a time.....made 13 different kinds of cookies at christmas and still felt I was behind...and read cookbooks for FUN). I wanted some sense of the "old life."

So far I've made pizza crusts, an oatmeal bread, chocolate muffins, and granola.....and I'm getting posts up to my blog to share the results. if anyone is interested.

I am so happy I could cry. And the best part is, it's shelf stable, and I can buy it in bulk...I have to feed 4-6 people at a time.

She's got a customer for life here, as long as she keeps making it.

Five stars from me!

June, you and I could compare notes. Christmas cookies! Cookbook reading! OMG I love you LAWL sorry but you are the first person other then me that said I read cookbooks for fun.

I have not heard of this mix before so am going to look into finding it local. Lately coconut flour has been my best friend.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
