Has anyone milled their own quinoa flour? If so, what do you do about the rinsing issue? Thanks for your help!

HiDee - Sorry, don't have an answer, but I thought I would throw another question out (and maybe you have the answer).

How fine of a grind can you get at home? Authentic Foods Fine ground brown rice is outrageously priced. Can you get as fine of a grind at home and if so, what kind of grinder?

To be honest, I haven't ever bought brown rice flour. I've only ever ground it at home so I can't say how it compares to Authentic Foods. I think the fineness I get milling brown or white rice or other grains at home is comparable to flours I've bought like sorghum flour or millet flour. I have a Nutrimill, I think it's awesome but a little pricey. I have a friend who has a K-Tec that does pretty equally as well of a fine grind, it's just a whole lot louder than my machine but cheaper. Although, having used both of our mills, brown rice takes a little longer to grind in the Nutrimill than the K-Tec. We don't have any good large health food stores or Asian markets or things like that nearby that sell gluten free flour so I think grinding it myself is a little cheaper. I do still buy all the starches and stuff like that to mix with the flour. I don't know if this helps but good luck!

I have not, but I would hazard a guess that maybe you could rinse it and then toast it, and then grind it?

I have a vita mix 5000 and it came with a grinding container. Friday I tried brown rice and it turned out ok but I am going to sift it to make sure there are no large parts left over. I think it will work fine for the most part.

I was planning on making as many of my own gluten-free flours but saw that about the quinoa also. I was going to do some more research and find out if I could do it at home or not.

      Pepsid alternative

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      Recently qualified Nutritionist looking for support

      By Diana Swales · Posted

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!
