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!

      Stomach hurts with movement

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body...

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain.  That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
