Making My Own Oat Flour?


DMarie

Recommended Posts

DMarie Apprentice

If I have gluten-free oats (rolled) - and I give them a whirl in my food processor - will I have oat flour? I have not found gluten-free oat flour anywhere and shipping is too expensive.

Any suggestions?

Also, does Quinoa flour exist (already packaged)? Or would I need to put that through a coffee grinder or some other process to get that type flour?

Is sorghum related to corn? If so and if corn is an intolerance, would that automatically make sorghum one as well?

Last, but not least - what is millet related to?

Thanks!

I have made recipes that call for small amounts of oat flour in addition to other flours. I whir the oats in the food processor and it works fine. If a few grains end up a little larger than flour, no big deal, at least in the bread that I make. I have also done this to relace the flax seed meal in my bread recipe.

Corn and Sorghum are both grains so yes they are related, but that doesn't necessarily mean you will react to both. I react to corn but not sorghum.

Thanks for the info on sorghum Janessa! :P

Fingers faster than the brain! I posted before I was ready. I recently purchased a Cuisinart food processor (it was on a fantastic sale!!). It is my best friend in the kitchen! :D I will give the oats a whirl as you suggest, Missy'sMom.

Hmmm...wondering if I could also make my own almond meal flour? How much is too much for a food processor? Guess I should get out the manual and look at the recipes. If it shows how to make peanut butter, then I would think I could use almonds as well.

I don't use almond meal in great quantity and this may not be the most economical way, but I have processed the thin slivered almonds in the processor. Not as hard on the machine.

I'm pretty sure that the quinoa flour that I have (I transfer them into containers) was from Bob's Red Mill. If the store that you purchase some of your other gluten-free stuff has Bob's Red Mill products already just ask if they could also bring in the quinoa flour.

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.

      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.
