Hi guys,

I saw this add about Expandex in the recent Living Without mag and was wondering how it has worked for folks? It looks like it should make things even more like it's wheat equivalent.

I have some, and I'm not sure it makes a big difference. It's hard to say for sure because I am always trying new recipes. ;) It's worth a try!

A local bakery by us uses it and their cookies are good, but I can't say that is from the Expandex. Can't say that it isn't either...

We should do a test in which we bake one batch of cookies with expandex added and the other batch with regular tapioca flour and see how they turn out! :D I keep buying the stuff...but I'm not totally sure it's worth the money.

Good idea Jenny. I haven't bought any yet but if you try the experiment tell me what you think.

The one thing that I noticed with the Expandex, is that it comprises a considerable portion of the recipe. I haven't tried it, but it sure seems expensive. I'm also not really sure I like the idea of a modified starch. Sounds sorta artificial.

Orgran makes a Open Original Shared Link which I've been wondering about too.

I use in gluten-free Pantry bread mix, but it makes only a little difference. I add a few tablespoons into the

flour mixture and increase water by maybe a tablespoon.

Expandex is in Jules Gluten Free flour and works great for me--my baked goods are lighter and fluffier. Also, they last longer because of Expandex's long shelf life--so I can bake ahead of time for once. (They now offer sample packs very cheaply to test out the product.)

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Jay Heying · Posted

      Hello everyone, this my first time to this website and I need some help. I’m 65 years old and have been living with Celiacs for about 15 years. My doctor has suggested I start taking a probiotic named  Integrative Pro-Flora-Concentrae. Has anyone else used this probiotic specifically? If this one isn’t celiac friendly can you recommend another please. Thank you.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission.   They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.   Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission.
