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.

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
