Gluten-free Flour Available In Bigger Sizes?

Hi,

I've been slowly trying out gluten-free baking for the first time and I definitely want to bake for the holidays. So far I've been using Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten free flour from the local grocery store.

The only problem is it comes in weeny 1-lb bags. :rolleyes:

I was wondering if anyone knows of a source for, say, 5-lb bags of gluten-free flour?

Thanks!

check w/ your local health food store to see if you can buy in bulk. i do a lot of baking (even just feeding 2 and bringing treats to the office), so i buy my flour in 25 lb bags. i store it in those 5 gallon buckets you can get at like costco or walmart or an emergency supply store. so far, i have rice flour and tapioca flour. been looking around to find cornstarch in bulk though. i also have a big tupperware (5 lb or so) of potato flour, but i don't use that as much.

Bob's sells the cornstarch in 25# bags. I have the cornstarch, tapioca, sorghum, brown rice and white rice in the 25# bags. Since I live near the mill, I can pick it up so no shipping, it ends up to average about 80cents per pound. If I have it shipped, it bumps up to about 1.10 per pound-still a pretty good price.

Open Original Shared Link has several sizes available. It is a one to one ratio. It is loved by many. I think it is way better than Bob's. You can also get it on Amazon.......Plus they have a ton of recipes on the site that are terrific.

I use the betterbatter flour mentioned above by mamaw. I buy 45 pounds at a time and use it in recipes calling for normal flour. They also have a ton of REALLY good recipes on their website. I make their challah in the bread machine.

      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
