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 :)

Thank you

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. :)

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing that site! Do you know if that site has any information about manufacturing/possible cross contact on it? I can't find it. When I have called manufacturers, most of them say they can't guarantee no cross contact in manufacturing (except Lannett, Mylan and possible Amneal, which aren't available near me).

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.
