Gluten Free Mama's Almond Flour/coconut Flour

Has anyone out there tried gluten free mama's almond or coconut flour? I'm thinking about ordering some for myself for a late mother's day present for me. I saw on someone's blog that they were both pretty good, but just wondered if anyone else used it.

Appreciate any pros or cons.

I haven't tried it yet but when I emailed the company I got a very positive response from the owner. She said they are certified gluten-free through the CSA and test to 2 PPM.

I haven't tried that particular brand but I bake with almond flour as my only flour and am happy with it. This company offers CC free almond flour/meal. Open Original Shared Link

I've used the coconut blend in sugar cookies and banana bread. The cookies had great flavor just a hint of tart tangeness and nice texture. The banana bread was a little gummy in the middle. But the parts that were edible tasted good :) I think the gummy texture was due to the recipe needing a little tweaking.

I've had the flour and pancake mix for a few weeks now.

The pancakes are really light and fluffy--like wheat ones. The fam and I can't decide whether we like them or Pamela's the best--they're both delish, but different from each other. We liked both better than Kinnikinnick.

The flour: VERY soft. I like that it doesn't come with any gum in it. Sometimes I have problems with xantham gum. I got the cookbook with it and made the most delicious scones/cookies ever--raspberry with white chocolate.

The cookies were soft not crumbly and sat out on the stove for 2 days without any covering (while everyone just walked by and ate them all) and they never did get too hard or fall apart or a weird taste or crumbly. Just really, really good.

Daughter took some to school and everyone at her table tried--the consensus was that they were the best gluten free thing she ever brought for them to sample! These are 15 yrs olds who thought the cookies were better than wheat versions.

The big test is today--I plan on making bread with it using the recipe from the book.

With kids in school and the entire fam having to be on the diet--we really go through the bread--even only making one slice sandwiches for hubby and teenage daughter.

I'm in love with the Schar's bread because of its non-taste, but I noticed last weekend, because of the Memorial Day holiday and we didn't use the bread for four days, that the bread was really hard and the texture had changed. Even putting in the microwave didn't help.

Since I only have 2 Schar mixes left, maybe the family will like this mix.

Cross your fingers! :P

Haven't tried the pizza mix because we still have almost a whole bag left of Domata mix. I'll let you know in a few months. :rolleyes:

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      Good idea, @LynnM! That would be helpful to other celiacs who find themselves on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. You might also want to send them information about how to initiate the process with GFCO. But just a word of caution here, don't be surprised if the company is reluctant to pursue this certification as it can tie their hands with regard to changes in formulation in the future. Manufacturers often make ingredient decisions not only based on desired product outcomes but on cost factors. It can also put them at a liability risk should some ingredient supplier introduce an ingredient that was cross-contaminated with gluten without knowledge and cause someone to have a reaction. Testing for gluten-free certification is not done as frequently as consumers imagine and products can and do get out of spec at times. And once you slap a gluten-free certified label on a product, you are instantly open to possible liable suites.

      Hi Everyone. I just heard back from my son's GI doc and nutritionist. SHIELD products ARE gluten free. I am going to ask the company to Pursue gluten-free certification.

      Question about biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience highlights a common frustration in celiac disease diagnosis—discrepancies between lab results, biopsy findings, and clinical symptoms. The "localized mild nodular mucosa" noted in your duodenal bulb could indeed be significant, even if the overall pathology was deemed negative. Nodularity in the duodenum is often associated with lymphocytic infiltration, a feature seen in early celiac disease (before villous atrophy develops) or in conditions like H. pylori infection, chronic inflammation, or even food sensitivities (e.g., gluten or dairy). Since you had strongly positive celiac labs (e.g., TTG-IgA, EMA, or DGP), this nodularity might reflect an early or patchy immune response to gluten that wasn’t severe enough to meet traditional biopsy criteria (Marsh 3 damage). Some studies suggest nodular mucosa can precede classic celiac changes, especially in seropositive patients. Given your lab results and symptoms, it’s possible you have non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or are in an early stage of celiac where damage isn’t yet widespread. False-negative biopsies aren’t uncommon due to sampling error (celiac can be patchy) or misinterpretation of subtle changes. If you’re still symptomatic, you might discuss repeat testing (e.g., HLA-DQ typing if not already done, or a gluten challenge with both serology and biopsy) or consider a capsule endoscopy, which can visualize more of the small intestine. Alternatively, H. pylori testing or a trial of strict gluten-free diet with symptom monitoring could provide clarity. Your case underscores the importance of correlating labs, histology, and clinical response—not just relying on biopsy alone. A second opinion from a celiac-savvy GI could be worthwhile!

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The burning sensation you describe—particularly upon waking or after exercise—could indeed be related to systemic inflammation, which is common in autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's and celiac disease. Gluten exposure, even in small amounts, may trigger an immune response that exacerbates inflammation, leading to the achiness and burning you feel, especially in areas like your hips and chest. Stress and poor sleep can further worsen inflammation, creating a cyclical effect. The fact that these symptoms improved before your gluten challenge but returned afterward strongly suggests a connection to gluten sensitivity. Additionally, prolonged immobility during sleep might contribute to stiffness or discomfort, but the burning sensation points more toward an inflammatory or neurological component. Your heightened food sensitivities and digestive issues could indicate ongoing gut dysfunction, possibly due to intestinal permeability ("leaky gut") from gluten exposure or autoimmune activity. Since exercise also triggers symptoms (except during your remission period), it may be worth exploring gentle movement like yoga or walking to avoid overexertion while supporting circulation. Consulting a healthcare provider familiar with autoimmune conditions—particularly one who can guide you through targeted testing for celiac (without a full gluten challenge) or assess for other triggers like histamine intolerance—might help clarify next steps. In the meantime, prioritizing anti-inflammatory foods, stress management, and restorative sleep could provide some relief.

      Help!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
