Does Anyone Have A Nutrimill?

Authentic foods superfine brown rice flour? I really want to order one, but have not been able to find anyplace to order it from that will let me return it if it's been used. If it turned out to not work for this it would be an expensive mistake so I'm really hoping someone here can help.

I have a mill already, but it doesn't grind fine enough. Grinds brown rice good enough for making pizza, but not for baking. I even looked into ordering wholesale from Authentic Foods, but even that is still really expensive mostly because of the shipping. I've found a far east store that has all the other flours I use cheap, but none of them have the brown rice flour. I'm thinking that as much as I bake this mill will be worth it in the long run as long as it works well for brown rice!

This is my question, too. I milled wheat for years before having to go gluten-free recently. I've packed up my old WhisperMill to give away, but the price of brown rice flour makes me want to replace it ASAP. I want to be sure the flour will be fine enough, though.

I have a Nutrimill. I really like it. I also think their customer service is fantastic. However, I cannot tell you whether flour milled from a Nutrimill compares to Authentic Foods Superfine flour because I've never bought or used that before. I have bought other flours like Millet and Sorghum flours that seem to me about the same fineness of grind that I get from my Nutrimill when grinding brown rice. It does take a little longer in the Nutrimill to grind brown rice than it does to grind white rice or popcorn or teff or other grains for some reason. I'm not sure why. I have a friend with a K-Tec mill that gets a pretty fine grind as well and she likes her K-Tec a lot too. I think it's cheaper milling my own flour, I've been doing it almost the whole time I've been on the gluten-free diet so I don't have much experience with "store-bought" brown rice flours.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for replying. I guess the texture I'm thinking of is comparable to what regular flour would feel like. Very powdery with no grit whatsoever. I'm very nervous about spending so much without knowing for sure how the grind is for brown rice! I only found one place that would let me return it even after I use it, but it would cost $60 more than other places I could order from. I already have a mill, but the rice looks fine, but when you rub it between your fingers it's just a bit gritty. From what I could tell the mill I have and the K-tec are fairly close as far as grind, but I've heard that Nutrimill is a bit finer.

Do you think the brown rice flour comes out like regular flour as far as texture?

If you have a store near you that sells them, you could ask if they do demos if you bring some brown rice in. I have a whisper mill and I grind all my rice flours and some others as well. I can tell you that the brown rice is not a fine a grind as the asian white rice that I have purchased before BUT I have never purchased an asian brown rice flour or the Authentic foods brown rice flour so I do not know how it compares to those.

I thought about that, but I couldn't find any stores near me that sell it. I wish the return policies at some of these on line places were better. Most of them will only take it back if it's unused or defective and want to charge a restocking fee. If I can't figure this out soon I'm starting to think I may just place a wholesale order with Authentic Foods, but it's a minimum $100 order so that's alot of brown rice flour!

I've been grinding rice and sorghum in my Nutrimill but I hesitated trying teff in it as the manual doesn't say it will grind that. I was looking ito buying a coffee mill of some kind to do seeds. How do you find it grinds teff? Isn't teff too oily or too small for the Nutrimill? Does it clog up or anything? I was thinking it might work grinding teff along with rice or sorghum to use together in a recipe. Have you tried grinding amaranth or quinoa in the Nutrimill?

I have a Nutramill...and I grind my brown rice flour...and it does take a while...longer than I've heard others say other grains take....I got my mill from pleasanthillgrain.com...they are in Aurora, Ne...I have used this one for 6 or 8 months...the first one I got from them did not work good...so they readily exchanged it for me...this one has worked well...but of course, I do not know what you call fine...it grinds the brown rice OK for me...I use it for all my baking.....

When I set the dial all the way to the far left (on "F" in finer), it takes an exceedingly long time to mill (sometimes 15 minutes for 1 cup but it varied a lot)and gets very hot. when I set it between the "R" in finer and the "C" in coarser, it took 2-3 minutes, depending on the grain, with very little difference in texture. I like it best set just beyond the "R".

See Open Original Shared Link for picture of dial.

I called the company quite a while back and they say teff, amaranth and quinoa are all perfectly safe to mill in the nutrimill. They are not too small or oily. You can't do nuts or seeds like almonds or flax because those are too oily. I haven't done quinoa because I'm still unsure if it can be ground without rinsing and if it is rinsed and then dried I'm not sure if it will work as well in the nutrimill...If anyone has an answer to this I'd greatly appreciate it. I've done teff and amaranth and they work great. They actually grind really fast because they are so small and they produce a very fine flour that I've had great success with in baking. Finer than rice. I think the nature of the rice grain is just gritty and even if you grind it on the finest setting it's still going to be a little grittier than other grains because that's just how it is. However, I think short grain brown rice grinds a little better/faster in the nutrimill than long grain brown rice. Also, when I talked to the company they concurred that brown rice does take longer to mill and they couldn't really give me a reason why.

Anyway, I hope this helps and again, if anyone has experience with grinding quinoa please let me know.

That's really helpful. Thanks!! Now to buy some of those grains in bulk.

I found some sweet brown rice at whole foods and grind that as well as short grain. I hear the short rice makes for better flour than long grain.

I use my Vita-Mix (dry container) to make flour. It does pretty well. I then sift through a strainer to "refine" it for baking.

There are some companies that sell pre-washed quinoa now - that would be perfect to use in your Nutrimill (or other mill).

i have a nutrimill- i love it, it does get warm and can leave a dusting if the flour when grinding BUT it saves me $ since i will be doing the diet for the rest of my life. it will grind the brown rice no problem, if it is too gritty the first time thru, i will send it thru a second time to make it extremely fine, i don't think it is to gritty, but it is a personal preference, and it will grind stuff as fine as the store bought stuff if you put it to the fine setting.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
