Corn And Potato Free Flour Mix


VioletBlue

Recommended Posts

VioletBlue Contributor

Yes, I tried searching the forum for this and got everything but a corn and potato free flour mix, LOL.

I can't handle corn or potatoes. This also means I cannot handle cornstarch and potato starch. I do have a lovely corn and sulfite free baking powder I can use, but now I need a decent flour mix to go with it.

All the gluten-free cook books seem to rely on one or the other for their flour mixes. I got incredibly frustrated this weekend trying to find a good flour mix for a muffin. Now I'm fond of things like muffin mixes in the box but again I have the same problem with pretty much every one of them. Quoina seems to bother me a little too, so that's not an option. In the pantry I have white rice flour, sorghum, tapioca, almond, buckwheat, teff, sweet rice and I'm sure one or two others I've left out.

Does anyone have a corn and potato free flour mix they use, like and have good results with?

I use Carol's flour blend:

1 1/2 cups sorghum

1 1/2 cups potato or corn starch

1 cup tapioca flour

In Carol's Quick and easy book she lists the subs for corn: arrowroot, potato starch, amaranth starch.

Subs for potato starch: arrowroot, cornstarch, lotus root starch, or amaranth starch.

This is my favorite flour mix and I make muffins very often with it among other things. I haven't tried arrowroot, amaranth, or lotus root starch. I think you can sub tapioca flour also b/c its a starch.

      OMG thank you so much for validating me in my "craziness" of being on the hunt for the culprit in my case. "Unfortunately" I do not eat any of the foods you mention, but have stopped eating the crackers that are labeled certified gluten-free to see if they might be the problem. I did NOT know about chicken being injected with gluten liquid - that is horrible!  Hoping my doc will agree to retest after I have been off the crackers for a while. My biggest mystery is - why do I not have ANY symptoms of being cross contaminated or glutened? There is no damage (thank godness) to my villi, and normally I will get canker sores the moment something is even the slightest bit cross contaminated... the hunt continues and I will follow up once I find the answer. Glad you found yours!

      Fascinating, thanks! So Canada (at least in 2017) had changed the criteria for detection in oat products from 20 to 5ppm. If the regulation still stands in 2025 then that would mean that any product sold in Canada that contains oats and is claimed to be gluten-free must (theoretically) test less than 5ppm...

      I recently had same problem and posted on here.  My bloodwork also unexpectedly skyrocketed.  When doc sent online comment saying something like "you need to be eating gluten-free food" I was almost in tears because had been very careful.  Like you, went on a mission.  Narrowed mine down to Yasso yogurt mint chocolate chip bars (formerly had Certified Gluten Free label on package but learned now only on small boxes but not large boxes) or BJ's only mixed nuts without "may be processed on equipment that also processes ....wheat" allergy warning and said in big letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  I went off both and bloodwork drastically improved.  Still don't know if culprit one or both (will add one back in and test again).  Throwing out in case you're eating either of these.  I live in Pittsburgh and during appointment my gastro told me some U. of Pittsburgh students were having same problem.  They finally narrowed it down to liquid injected into chicken they were eating.  (Apparently to make it moist and/or plump.)  Understand how frustratitng it is when you're making all the sacrifices to be careful.
