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!

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months. Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl. Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover. It will hit your Lympatic system and spread through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn...

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
