Check asian markets for the flours and starches. They are often cents per bag. I get white rice flour, tapioca starch and potato starch at ours. They happen to be from Japan, Korea and Thailand. Sweet rice flour, also called glutinous rice flour is also available. I have to check the tapioca starch carefuly because the market near us sells two grinds-one very fine and the other a bit too coarse for our baking.

Ok I will have to travel to Oklahoma City for that but thankfully that is not too far. I just cant beleive the price of some of this stuff....if it says gluten free on the label they charge quadruple for it....Such a rip. I am soo new to this....I have many of the symptoms and most of my mother's family did too...unfortunately they all died very young including my mother so I am desperate to not follow suit. I will be being tested soon but I am getting geared up to begin Gluten-Free....thank you for your help

I understand. I lost my mother when I was young and she lost hers even younger. Neither one to death but to disease, much of it undiagnosed and untreated and they were both taken from us, institutionalized and divorced by their husbands in their time of need, unable to care for themselves let alone their children and mother in name only. I too am very determined and find it very motivating. I will do my best not to let my son's children be the third generation without grandparents on one side of the family. Whatever the testing reveals, you know yourself best. Do what you have to. Our health is worth everything we invest in it. I wasn't fortunate enough to get testing or a formal DX, although a doctor pointed me in the right direction, off the record. I don't care if I ever do get a DX. There is no doubt whatsoever that gluten is a serious problem for me and my family members. If the docs really understood the shoes that I've walked in...the shoes that we all have walked in...

Let us know how we can help.

I almost have to have a diagnosis...not for me but for my husband. I have had so many problems myself that I think at this point he thinks I am a hypocondriac laughs. How many times can a person go to the Er because of abdominal pain and be sent away without any reason as to what started it. Only to come home and have to tell my husband that they couldnt or wouldn't figure it out. No insurance means no help sadly enough. His family fries everything and are very bread loving people so i really have to have something to back me up or I get a guilt trip for refusing food.

I'm sorry that your family is a challenge. I've always been called the family hypochondriac and yet, I'm the healthiest one! My husband didn't get it for a long time but he does now. He can see a huge difference and he would stand up and say to anyone that I have to be gluten-free. I see my sister only once a year and every year since she's been gluten-free and I see her again, I am suprized at the transformation in her appearance alone. She looks more like the person I used to know. I think my husband would say the same about me. In time, the people around you may see the difference that it makes.

Well they are good people and they mean well...they think I am too thin and constantly try to feed me. Laughs. Not realizing it hurts me. They mean well they just don't understand and I am just now learning so I can't expect them to yet either :)

I also have found great bulk prices at my local health food store. Lots of places will give you a "bulk rate discount" for ordering through them, and most of the stuff they order is gluten free. Just ask the customer service department. I would recommend you call ahead since you live far away, to get prices so you can compare them to the Asian market. Although usually you have to give them a week or two to get the order in...

Also, I keep my flours in those 5 gal buckets you can buy for food storage. I bought some of the easy-lids (I don't know what they're called, you snap them on, and they have a middle section that screws on, makes it so much easier than trying to snap the lid on and off every time you need some flour).

Good luck gearing up for the gluten-free lifestyle! You're definitely in the right place here :) Lots of great help and support!

I recently discovered that some Costco's carry a 5lb bag of Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Flour for $5.99. That's a steal compared to the regular retail price I've seen at Kroger and Whole Foods.

I don't have the luxury of an Asian market nearby, so I get my flours, etc at www.barryfarm.com. Not the best prices for everything, but half-way decent I think. The quality is typically better than any others I've tried. Lots of flours from dedicated gluten-free facilities, certified organic, and so forth.

Incidentally, some Asian markets have millet flour labeled as Bajri, Garbanzo labeled Besan, Sorghum labeled Jowar, Juwar, or Juvar, and tapioca labeled as Sago or Sabudhana.

Look to see if there is a co-op by you. You order directly from a warehouse and cut out the middle man (health food store). Everyone agrees to order a set price worth and someone waits for the truck delivery. Usually this is done at one address like a church or one members home. You seperate everyone's orders and arrange for everyone to pick up their order.

Our group stopped because [on-line book seller] was about as cheap with out the hassle.

I am going to order from Barry Farm. Open Original Shared Link Their unit prices are very good. However the shipping is alot. Some coworkers and I are going to do a big bulk order and split the shipping so it will make it worth while.

Amazon has some great gluten free products and the best part is they come right to your door. :)

Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
