Hi All!

I am new the gluten-free "lifestyle"...it certainly is one! I keep finding out things I thought were safe and possibly aren't such as...baking powder. Does any one know who makes a true blue gluten-free baking powder and where I might buy/order it? Thanks a million. Please reply soon. I miss my muffins ;-)

I've never seen a baking powder with gluten in it. What are the ingredients of your current one?

Welcome to the gluten free life :)

Open Original Shared Link baking powder says gluten-free right on the package.

Hi and welcome :)

I use Rumford Premium Aluminum-Free Baking Powder. It is marked gluten-free right on the container.

I saw Calumet Baking Powder listed on a Gluten Free list we got from the nutritionist. It's made by Kraft (I think) or one of the companies that doesn't hide their gluten. It's "double acting" and my stuff has been rising like CRAZY since I started using it. It works GREAT. And it's gluten free.

Baking powder

Here's baking powder: 1 tablespoon cream of tartar, 1/2 tablespoon baking soda, 1/2 tablespoon arrowroot. That's it, it works just as well as the stuff you buy.

Or

You can substitute baking powder in place of baking soda (you'll need more baking powder and it may affect the taste), but you can't use baking soda when a recipe calls for baking powder. Baking soda by itself lacks the acidity to make a cake rise. However, you can make your own baking powder if you have baking soda and cream of tartar. Simply mix two parts cream of tartar with one part baking soda.

This was posted somewhere in this site and I copied it down.

Thanks, everyone!

Whew! I was using Calumet so I guess I am ok. My naturopath gave me a list of food to avoid b/c they may POSSIBLY have gluten and when I saw baking powder, my heart sank. Ok, that is great. Thanks Agian.

Just make sure you never used a gluten-y utensil in your baking powder! (I have a habit of stirring with whatever's in my hand, had to throw a lot out)

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
