Substitutions For Various Flours

Is there a good site that will tell me which gluten free flours can be substitued for each other? For example, are brown and white rice flour interchangeable? Is there a flour that can be substituted for

soy flour -

white bean flour-

almond meal -

I realize that every flour has it's own unique properties, but I don't want to have a large number of flours on hand.

Also, is there such a thing as gluten free, dairy free baking chips (chocolate, butterscotch, etc)?

Thanks!

I find this site very helpful: Open Original Shared Link. It is not limited to gluten-free flours, though so be careful when reading it.

Chocolate chips that I have found that are dairy free are Enjoy Life and Trader Joe's semi-sweet chocolate chips. Maybe someone else knows of some other brands.

That was very helpful. Thanks!

I just ordered Domata living flour and made tollhouse chocolate chip cookies. They turned out very good. There is a recipe for biscuits that I will try tommorow. I says it is a one cup for one cup exchange.

Hey, so did I!

Well, actually our local grocer is carrying it, so I bought some. I already have a well-stocked pantry with gluten-free flours, so I wasn't sure what to try.

I made the tollhouse cookie recipe (actually 1/2 recipe) - the pan version versus the individual cookie version. We shared with friends - 4 kids and 4 adults, including me - and all agreed they were my best gluten-free cookies ever! And I have been making gluten-free cookies almost weekly for over two years now.

All of my attempts at gluten-free biscuits so far have been pretty nasty, but I think I am getting up my nerve to try with this stuff.

My husband just made homemade chicken fingers using the spicy brand of Domata flour. They were wonderful and my 11 year old daughter thougth they were the best she ever had. He made his own batter with the new flour. It is a wonderfull flour!!!!!!!!!!

I was having trouble getting a handle on the different flours, so I kinda did a test. I did something like the liquid from a crepe - an egg with some sweetened rice milk. Then I'd take about 3 tb of a flour, pour enough liquid in to make a crepe, cook it and eat it, and write down taste and texture. I did this with all the flours I had in the house, and now I feel like i have a better idea of how to use them.

I cant use most blends, because the tapioca kills me. Also, I've been using veggie chips ground in the blender for chicken nuggets - its been popular in my house! Our boys dont like spicy much.

I'd guess you could use potato, arrowroot, or corn starch for a tapioca sub.

Ener-G has GFDF chocolate chips. I used them all the time and really couldn't tell the difference.

There are many ways to substitute ingredients. This is a broad reply, but I've found answers to the "substitution" question in most gluten-free cookbooks. I'm sure there are multiple websites as well.

Good luck as you practice and learn what works for you (and what flours you like, etc.)

I made pancakes yesterday from a basic cookbook recipe substituting white rice flour and Splenda. They were delicious, light and fluffy.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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!

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

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      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
