Success! Sweet sorghum flour- I really like it. Anybody else ever try baking with it? I have tried every kind of bean, potato, tapioca, etc. Finally, something I like!

I love sorghum and use it in all my flour mixes. I also use quite a bit of buckwheat. :)

I'm a big fan of sorghum. A combination of sorghum, millet, and potato starch (not flour) is my favorite for baking. I can't stand the smell or taste of tapioca starch in baked goods and am not a big fan of bean flours (although I love beans on their own).

Great, will have to check some out. So far I've found I can use bean flour as a great replacement in frying and making roux where you're actually looking for a proteiny taste but when it comes to lighter more delicate flavors it is way too overpowering. Shame though because the strength of it's quite nice.

One of the biggies in my cooking - between rice flour, sorghum, and millet, I really don't miss "normal" flour all that much!

The only problem I have is how MANY flours I have :lol: . All the individual flours, a couple of pre-mixed personal blends, all those canisters....:rolleyes: Guar gum, xanthan gum, baking soda and powder, gelatin, ascrobic acid....Glad I have a big pantry :lol: Just freed up a canister because I am ditching quinoa - BAD reaction to some quinoa crackers. Although I never used much of it I figure I am better off without it -- too high in lectins :P

My husband who is not gluten free, just eats all my baked goods that way, likes the sorghum mix I use now better than rice based mixes. I also make pancakes with 1/2 brown rice flour and buckwheat flour that we love.

I love sorghum too. I have millet, sweet rice flour, potato starch and some mixes like Bob's Red Mill and Pamela's bread mix.

By the way, sorghum beer rocks.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
