Flour Mixes................Rice Allergy?

I have searched and searched and all the typical "replace all purpose wheat flour" blends contain rice flour.

My son is allergic to brown rice severely (skin rashes only that we've noticed, he is 11 months, cant talk yet), still questionable about white rice.

I am willing to try a white rice based flour mix but would love any recipes that i might be able to use. Thanks!

Also,.........im a sucker for buttermilk biscuits, any good recipes??

I use Carol Fenster's blend as I find that rice flour is generally grainy and I don't care much for it.

Her blend you can make yourself:

1 1/2 C sorghum flour (which is about as close to a wheat replacement as it gets)

1 1/2 C potato starch (this is NOT the same as potato flour)

1 C tapioca starch (which IS the same as tapioca flour...)

Makes four cups, and I have used it pretty successfully just trading it out in recipes. You do have to add xanthan gum to it, however.

I also found rice flours to be grainy, and stopped using them altogether some time ago, in favor of things like sorghum, millet, buckwheat, and ivory teff. I also like bean flours for some things. Incidentally, buckwheat is totally unrelated to wheat.

You can replace the rice flour in most recipes with one or more of the above. The most noticeable difference I found is no graininess.

Sweet white rice flour is a different story though, since it is much more starchy. One or more of the other starches/flours can often be used in place of it. Try things like arrowroot starch, cornstarch, potato starch, potato flour, or tapioca flour. They are all different in some ways, but in many cases, a recipe won't be a total disaster with such substitutions. Blending multiple flours generally works better than using lots of one or two kinds.

Another vote for the Carol Fenster blend here! I made a big batch of pancakes from her 1,000 gluten free recipes cookbook (first recipe in the book, actually) for company on New Year's Day using it. As she shoveled the 8th pancake down (snatching them before anyone else could eat in fact - there is a reason I only let this company over once in a while, but that is a headache for another time! lol) I was told "I'm SO glad you are off that celiac nonsense and are cooking real food for people again. My husband and I were TERRIFIED over what freaky crap you might make us eat!"

Took me almost three hours to chisel the smirk off my face from casually telling her just what freaky food she had been and was currently pigging out on!

Its a great multipurpose blend and my main go to these days. Added bonus? She uses it a great deal in her books so if you like the blend, you are guaranteed lots of good recipes worked around the mix.

:D I love this!!

mommaofthreebeans, I recommend the book, "The Gluten Free Kitchen" by Roben Ryberg. She uses a mixture of cornstarch and potato starch in all of the recipes in the book. The pizza crust is very good--there is a recipe for biscuits in there too. I'd shoot it to you, but I moved last fall and have not found a bunch of my books yet.

Yup I use this too. I have used it with cornstarch instead of the potato starch and also did 1/2 arrowroot/cornstarch for the potato starch and both are good. I found replacing the potato starch with all arrowroot starch to be a bit on the dry crumbly side. It might have been just overbaking on my part but I don't think so.

Ditto...I switched to cornstarch too.

I haven't really tried any of Carol's recipes because of the potato starch. And arrowroot is so hard to come by here. I will try all cornstarch, but I am not very good with corn either :(

I use Carol Fenster's blend too. I'm only 3 weeks into eating gluten-free so I've only made one batch so far. I used the potato starch, but next time I think I will try corn startch instead since it seems to be a bit cheaper.

      Lymph nodes

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
