Best Gluten Free All-purpose Flour

Hi everyone,

I just picked up a bag of Kinnickinnick (sorry if I spelled that wrong) Celiac Flour blend, and I can't wait to give it a try. Have any of you tried this one? Have you had fairly good results? Or do you prefer Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free flour?

I haven't had a piece of cake in a LONG time (I was avoiding white flour for a year and half before ten days ago when I figured out that all flour was making me sick.) So I can't wait to experiment! Any links to great gluten-free cake recipes (especially chocolate) would also be fantastic.

Thanks again all, you're great!

Christina

P.S. I've started a new blog about my new gluten-free life at: Open Original Shared Link - I posted a delicious Veggie Chili recipe today that I made up last night. Really REALLY yummy for anyone in your family, whether they're gluten-free or not!

I buy many Bob's Red Mill products, but I despise their gluten free flour mix. It has garbanzo bean flour which my family dislikes. It has a very strong bean taste in my opinion. Pamela's makes a pretty good flour mix and is available at many health food stores.

I cook and bake a lot so I make my own flour mix:

1 cup cornstarch

1 cup tapioca starch/flour

1 cup rice flour

1 TBSP potato starch.

I buy my flours in bulk and make up about 12 cups at a time. You can also buy in bulk at amazon and Bob's Red Mill.

My current favorite all purpose flour mix is Syvan Border Farms. It has performed wonderfully in everything I have tried. I add tapioca flour to it for some things like bread and pizza dough. I buy it in bulk at amazon .com.

I don't care much for the Bob's redmill all purpose flour either, but I think it is more the grainy texture that I object to rather than the flavor.

Hi Everyone - I am new to being "gluten free" and am trying to learn about the different flours, especially all-purpose. Has anyone heard of cup for cup (c4c)?

The ingredients are: Cornstarch, white rice flour, brown rice flour, milk powder, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum.

Thanks,

Jen

I use Cup-4-Cup (William Sanoma) all the time. I subistitute it directly for regular flour. Recently I have made pie crust, cheese straws and fritcake cookies that all turned out great. The only draw back is the price, but I only do a lot of baking at the holidays so it is not a real problem.

Yes, I have heard great things about it but cannot get it where I live. It is a pretty typical mix with the extra bonus of milk powder.

My favourite blends are those that do not use a lot of white rice flour as I like to use those that contain nutrients. Rather than purchase blends I make my own. Favourite starches of mine are sorghum, amaranth, garfava, purple yam, millet, ivory teff, quinoa, fine brown rice, chickpea, yellow corn flour and buckwheat. I will post my favourite blends a bit later today when I have more time...

If you try c4c let us know how it behaves!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Tazfromoz · Posted

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Celiac Screening

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      By Churro · Posted

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
