Can You Bake With No Starches? Or Sub?

Hi.

I was just wondering if anyone knew or had pointers on baking without starches?

I can't have tapioca starch/flour (similar side effects like gluten) and arrowroot seem to not agree with me.

I cut out Nightshades due to reactions so that eliminated Potato Starch

Yellow Corn bothers me and Corn in general makes me bloat and too much = problems (sorry TMI).

Originally I was doing Potato Starch and Corn Starch but now with eliminating Potatoes I am just left with Corn Starch.

I made some waffles the other weekend and tested out subbing all the starches with corn and that was a no no it tasted normal BUT... did not react very well to it.

What do people do that cannot have or do starches? Do you just sub with more flour?

Any input is greatly appreciated

Thank you!!

Yes, check out the almond flour recipes. Also, there are other grains out there that may work for you if you can handle them... buckwheat, teff and others. Carol Fenster has a bunch of flourless cake recipes too; try googling that and see what you come up with!

Good luck!

You can find sweet potato starch in asian food stores. From what i've read, they are not part of the nightshade family. I've not used it in my cooking but it's worth a try.

Can you no have rice flour either? There are three different kinds: white, brown and sweet (or glutinous, as it is sometimes rather anomalously known).

Thank you for the posts about the book. The book looks really neat and the price was good compared to other books.

I bought teff the other week but got the whole grain by accident so have to grind it to flour and try it. Never tried Buckwheat will have to try that soon.

WOW the pizza looks really good and very easy to make. I am printing off the recipe to try very soon. Thank you so much! I saved the site to look through more later.

My main flours I have are Sourghum, White Rice Flour and Brown Rice Flour. I haven't tried the Sweet Rice Flour yet just because I live in a smaller town and cannot find it anywhere and haven't driven to Las Vegas yet to get it at Whole Foods (hopefully they have it). I was just in CA visiting family and looked at Henry's for it but nope.

Sweet Potato Starch... very interesting. I will have to keep an eye out for it. I know we do not have any stores like that near me but will look for it. Thanks

Thanks again for the posts. I will take a look at the SCD thread on here.

I don't recall seeing it at Whole Foods. You can always find it in an Asian market.

By the way, I really like buckwheat flour and use it quite a bit because I am limited in my flours too. I tried putting some Teff flour in pancakes over the weekend and it was very sandy/heavy and soaked up all the liquid which I had to keep adding and adding.... I will need more experience with that--maybe try some of Carol Fenster's recipes.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Russ H · Posted

      I developed a heart arrhythmia and on several occasions had to wear a 24 hour Holter monitor. Among other things, I had premature atrial complexes (PACs) and occasional AFib. I was very fit at the time, running and cycling. This completely disappeared following my diagnosis and following a strict gluten free diet. I haven't had a single episode since, in 4 years.

      Newly diagnosed with non celiac gluten sensitivity

      Testing for celiac disease, whether blood antibody testing or biopsy procedure, will likely be invalidated when the gluten consumption has been discontinued ahead of the testing or the procedure for more than a couple of weeks or so. For the person with celiac disease, the consumption of gluten results in the production of specific antibodies that can be detected in the blood because the immune system is attacking the gluten as it comes in contact with the small bowel lining. The blood testing is designed to detect these antibodies. Over time, the inflammation wears down the villi that line the small bowel. The biopsy is designed to spot this damage to the lining. When gluten consumption is discontinued, these processes cease. Antibodies begin to disappear from the blood and the villi begins to rebuild. Many people begin to experiment with the gluten free diet before they seek testing and their doctors often neglect to check for this before ordering blood tests and biopsies.  If you want to be sure that you don't have celiac disease, you would need to endure a "gluten challenge" for a period of weeks. This would consist of resuming gluten consumption in the amount of at least 10g daily (the equivalent of about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and then get retested or re-biopsied. But regardless of whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) the antidote is the same: total abstinence from gluten for life.

      I can’t remember if I had started the gluten free diet or not.

      Welcome to the forum @Bridget connors! When you had the blood antibody testing done and the biopsy, had you already been restricting your gluten intake for a significant period of time, say weeks or months at least?

      Hi my name is Bridget I was newly diagnosed with non celiac gluten sensitivity but I have a very severe reaction to gluten and was wondering if anyone else has this and was told they didn’t have celiac. My brother and his son have it and I think I do as well. I have horrible burning lips that started three years ago that turned into cracks sometimes in the corners of my lips and my lips swell and turn bright red all around the edge and burn and tingle. Then I started get sores on my tongue and inside of my lips. When there’s a bad flare of if I eat any sugar or citrus it’s like I’m burning my mouth and more sores appear. I had chronic diarrhea to the point of incontience sometimes and stomach pains nausea. Migraines then came horrible leg and hand feet cramping. Then joint pain. Sleeping problems vomiting and more recently very foul smelling gas. So I stopped eating all gluten and every symptom has gone away. If I accidentally eat gluten it comes back with a vengeance and more symptoms appear each time!!! It’s crazy it’s like the gluten is poisoning my body. This last exposer my ear was killing me and the lymph node behind my ear and my throat and a big canker on the side of my tongue. Anybody with any thoughts?? I’ve had biopsies and blood tests everything comes back normal I don’t get it.
