New To Baking, A Few Questions

I am just starting to try to bake non-gluten. When a recipe calls for egg replacer, I think they mean for you to add it dry, not mix it up with water as it says on the box. I just wanted to verify this. Also, if you are using agar agar instead of unflavored gelatin, do you just use it dry out of the package? I have looked and looked for the sweet rice flour called for in one recipe. I have tried health food stores and Whole Foods. Any suggestions on where to find this? Asian speciality store? Online? My daughter is dairy free, at least for a while. I am using Earth Balance in the tub and sticks and it seems pretty good. Any thoughts on butter and milk substitutes? Thanks.

Egg replacer works best if you add it in dry and then add the water into the recipe. You can mix the water and replacer together, if you want, but it works best separate.

I use Earth Balance and Silk as my substitutes but for certain recipes I use apple sauce instead of the "butter" for calorie purposes. If you are just starting, I'd just stick with Earth Balance.

Sweet rice flour is sometimes labeled as Mochiko. I buy it at the asian market or the asian food section of grocery stores that have a large international section.

Hi,

a good milk substitute for those that are dairy intollerant is Vance's Dari-Free

it's a potatoe based dairy substitute (unless you have nightshade issues)

It's available via the Gluten Free Mall of this Forum.

Here are a few gluten-free WF DF recipes of mine.

Thats what I buy. It comes in a white box like cornstarch.

Thanks, everyone. This forum has been just great for information...I am still floundering, but can see I will get a handle on it. Laura

The sweet rice flour is also called glutenous sweet rice flour. I know it throws people off with the word glutenous but it does not contain gluten. I usually buy the mochiko in the white box as it is the one I see most.

Better then milk is another milk replacement

Thanks for that -- I saw rice flour and "glutenous" rice flour both at my local Asian market yesterday, and had been wondering what the difference was.

About the agar agar powder, the usual recommendation is to first soak it in water for about 10-15 minutes. When I make jelly/jam, I simmer the fruit for a bit, then add the agar, and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. What really works best is to add a pinch or two of calcium citrate/phosphate, as the agar needs calcium ions in order to gel.

Some fruits have enzymes which break down the agar's gelling ability, so they need to be cooked before the agar is added. These include pineapple, fresh figs, paw paws, papaya, mango and peaches. Highly acidic fruits will need more agar too.

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
