I have all my flours in one of those three drawer rolling carts in my kitchen. It works nice for me!

Some people organize like this

I know someone who uses the (Gladware?) stackable, disposable containers and labels them like those in the photo. The containers that one of the lunch meats(Hillshire farms?) comes in has a lid and is re-usable and is just the right size for the bags of tapioca starch that I buy.

My storage looks exactly like that picture. I even use lock and lock. I have 95% of my stuff in the fridge in the garage and the rest in the freezer in the garage. I just write directly on the container with a sharpie. As you know, when I want to make a batch of cookies, it takes me 2 or 3 trips to the fridge.

I use the lock and lock storage containers for my flours and write directly on them with a sharpy as well. I have a second fridge down stairs so I store my flours in there.

I like using the Lock'n'Lock containers that are about the same size as the flour bags. I keep them in the door of my big freezer since almost all of them say it is best to keep them refrigerated.

The ones that I use mixed together most frequently I keep premixed together in a larger container.

when I know I'm going to use them soon enough to no thave to freeze them, I just throw the bags themselve sinto a ginormous locknlock to keep the moth weevils out.

I keep my flours in quart or gallon ziploc bags in our extra refrigerator. I label them with the date and type of flour. It's inexpensive and saves space. I keep the ziploc bags of flour in a grocery bag so I can grab everything at once if I'm baking.

      My skin biopsy and MRI scan shows no signs of any type of nerve damage. Nothing consistent with demylination or peripheral nerve damage. On the contrary, the nerve function from the skin biopsy proved better than normal. I don't get any pins and needles or have any loss of nerve function. It's pain only.  Thiamin I take is 100mg a day in tablet.

      @HectorConvector, My blood glucose level would spike after I ate.  It wouldn't return to "normal" fasting blood glucose level for longer and longer.  Blood glucose level should return to normal an hour after eating.  Mine would take two hours, then three hours, then longer.  So over night fasting blood tests wouldn't necessarily be very high until they got really bad.  But the peripheral neuropathy would feel the worst while my glucose was too high.  My blood glucose meter confirmed this.   On top of all that, my Celiac disease was still undiagnosed at the time, and I was suffering from malabsorption and nutritional deficiencies.  The deficiencies in B vitamins affected not just insulin production in the pancreas, but also the nerves in my extremities.  Nerves need B vitamins to maintain the myelin sheath protecting the nerves (like the plastic coating on electrical wires) when they fire.  When the myelin sheath is not maintained, that "pins and needles" feeling starts and increases as more of the sheath is damaged.  My parathesia progressed until the "pins and needles" went from my toes all the way up to my thighs.   Without sufficient vitamins, I started slowly losing weight.  Our bodies will start using not only stored fat, but also tear down our own muscles to provide fuel for the body to stay functional.   I hope you don't have pre-diabetes or diabetes.  Most diabetics have a thiamine deficiency.   How much thiamine are you taking?  What form of Thiamine are you taking?

      These symptoms started initially in 2009/2010 and I've had normal blood sugar readings in all the blood tests - so never been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes. I did request another blood test recently (yesterday in fact) which I have had, and if the blood sugar looks high it'll come up in my results which I'll be able to see next week. I don't have any other symptoms relevant to diabetes except for the nerve pain, which had been in existence for many years with "normoglycaemia", but we'll see. In terms of my current diet: I get roughly 60% of my calories from fat and protein, and 40% from carbs (an estimation). I'm on currently about 2200 calories per day, which is too low for someone of my size, so I've been slowly losing weight that I want to put back on again. But I don't want to do that without using weights, which flare my pain up unfortunately.

      I used to react very badly to milk - much worse than to gluten and I was always worried about exposure. Any diary product would make me extremely ill and put me out of action for 5 days or so. I would have watery and bloody diarrhoea, bloating, malaise and be unable to eat. If I recall correctly, it was about a year after being diagnosed with coeliac disease and going on a strict gluten free diet that I accidentally consumed dairy products and didn't react. From then on, I have been fine with diary.

      Sorry, I just realized how old this thread is and only read the initial post from 2021. I'll have to catch up on the comments in this thread.
