Cooking With Coconut Flour

Title says it all - I've tried tons of gluten-free flours and recipes and I can't use potato starch, so I'm always looking for new ideas. I like the coconut flour is okay on the GAPS or SCD - so, who's tried this book & is it worth buying?

Thanks! Jana

Hi Jana,

I have "Cooking with Coconut Flour" and yes, I think it's worth the price. Some recipes turn out better than others...we love the cheese muffins!

Can you use almond flour? Because I just bought Elana Amsterdam's cookbook, "The Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook", and I haven't tried any recipes yet, but those who have seem very happy and the recipes look great!

I can use almond flour, but I don't have that book either - I'll have to give them both a try. As much as possible, I get my recipes off the web so I don't end up with a big collection of books that don't get used - but at this point, it would be good to get a few good gluten-free baking books.

You can sub cornstarch for the potato starch if you can have it.

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
