My 2 year old and I were just diagnosed and I wanted to start buying flour online in bulk since I am an avid baker and he loves his baked goods. What flours do you suggest I get, the staples? And where should I buy them? Amazon, Bobs' Red Mill? Any suggestions would be great.

I use Pamela's Baking and Pancake mix for a bunch of things. A 4-lb bag costs anywhere from $13.99 to 17.99. The best store rate I've found is Whole Foods at $13.99. The health food stores seem to cost the most. You can get it at Amazon for about $12.15, and they have a thing you can sign up for where you are shipped every 3, 6 or 9 months automatically, and if you do that it ends up being $11.50 or so. I've been trying to get a fix on how much I use, so I'm tracking usage right now to decide what I want to do.

I haven't made a huge number of things yet with the Pamela's mix, but so far so good. The drop biscuits are good, the pancakes are wonderful (no one guessed they were gluten-free), and I do a wonderful banana bread with it (again, no one can tell it's a gluten-free recipe, it's moist, normal crumb texture, just great), the waffles are also good. Pamela's site has a bunch of additional recipes, plus a lot of recipes are on the back of the 4-lb bag.

The Pamela's mix has a nice mix of flours, and tastes really good. I haven't tried cakes etc. with it yet.

I have a wonderful cookbook called "Gluten Free Baking Classics" by Annalise Roberts, about $11 on Amazon. She set out to create the recipes we all love in good gluten-free versions. She utilizes a mix of flours from Authentic Foods, and found that Authentic's super fine rice flours make all the difference in creating good substitutes for gluten foods. I found these flours at a local health food store at $11.50 for a 3 lb bag. You can order on Amazon or from Authentic Foods, but with shipping costs the price goes way up. I just got the cookbook and the flour but haven't tried them yet. However, if you read all the Amazon review the recipes sound fabulous, and from looking thru the cookbook I have to say she's got it all covered.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
