Freezer Life Of Flours

I am two weeks into the gluten lifestyle and finding it quite expensive. I just came up with an awesome bread recipe and am in the process of trying out more recipes. However, so much flour is used in them that I've been looking for a way to buy rice flour in bulk. So far I've found it comes in 50lb. bags. Does anyone know how long white and brown rice flours can last in the freezer? I was also looking for a cheaper place online to purchase in bulk.

I have wondered the same thing. the other day i was trying to use some of the brown rice flour i have because ive had it a while and only have maybe a half cup left. but when i used it my bread came out very dry. i followed the recipe so maybe my flour is stale? could be something else but the thought crossed my mind that i have had the same bag of flour for quite a while now

My favorite places to buy gluten free flours are (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned), vitacost.com and Lame Advertisement.com. I know amazon and vitacost sell in bulk, but I'm not sure if Lame Advertisement does.

As far as how long it lasts in the freezer I am not sure.

Hi. The other week RiceGuy posted a helpful thing on flours

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=57120

Then at the bottom of that Topic he posted the below site that gives some info on how long flours last

Open Original Shared Link

I have had the same problem with knowing how long in the refrig VS how long in the freezer.

Hope this helped some. GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the help! I had no idea the white rice flour could last indefinently in the freezer, that is good to know.

I hope you aren't referring to Arrowhead Mills. I just found out recently, that they have problems with CC. I kept getting glutened, but didn't know from where. Finally I narrowed it down to their flours.

Anyway, for bulk flours, there's Open Original Shared Link, where you can get sorghum flour. It's very versatile, and not grainy like rice flour.

There's also Open Original Shared Link, which has a number of certified gluten-free flours.

I've been using the rice flours because I found a good bread recipe with just the brown and white rice flours. All of the other recipes seem to have tapioca flour in them, and I can't handle the taste of the tapioca flour. Is their a way to substitute for the tapioca? Does the sorghum have a strong taste to it, and does it work to replace both white and brown rice flour? I havn't had a chance to play around with the different flours much since my vitamin deficiencies have left me very exhausted, so I've been sticking to the one bread I know comes out right.

I cannot tolerate Tapioca Flour/Starch so I sub with either Potato Starch or Corn Starch or do 1/2 and 1/2. There is also arrowroot that you can sub with but it didn't settle very well with me.

Below is a nice website for substitution:

I've found sorghum flour works well in place of brown and white rice flours. The taste is good IMO, but of course we all have our preferences. I don't think the taste is strong at all.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
