Do You Have To Refrigerate The Flours? I Bought Some Airtight


Kara'sMom

containers and it would be much easier for me to keep them in the pantry. But I see on the bag that it says to store in the fridge. I was just wondering how many of you actually do that. I don't know about ya'll....but my fridge pretty much stays crammed and I don't have room for 6 containers!

Also...thanks to whomever mentioned going to the Asian stores to buy the flours. I finally visited the one near my house and all the flours are 99 cents a bag!! YEAHHHHH I'm making her gluten-free cheese sticks tonight.

I never fridge my flours, and they seem to taste ok. I also keep mine in airtight containers.

I keep them in the fridge. We have a second fridge that USED to be the beer/soda fridge. Now its the 147 different kinds of flour fridge :lol: A friend of mine that went through this process a few years back recommended it if you've got the room since the flours are so expensive. Hers got buggy. I have done a lot of experimenting with a lot of different kinds of flour and different brands of the same flour. Once I get through some of these, I won't be replacing them and won't be stocking so many different kinds. Then I'll start going through my staples faster. If your going through the product quickly, I don't think it's necessary. If you've got one or two that you don't use too much of, you might want to refrigerate those.

And YaY! for the asian markets . . . their white rice flour is a finer grind, too!

I don't refrigerate my flours, but I do keep my dough enhancer and xanthan gum in the fridge.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
