Can Potateo Flour Be Used As Direct Sub For Wheat?

This summer we will be staying with my sister in law who is allergic to both rice and corn, and we are trying to figure out what we can make for bread/etc while we are there. With Rice, corn and wheat all being out, any suggestion? Maybe use just potateo flour as a direct sub for wheat?

Any other suggestions?

I can't give you a direct substitute or recipe but you definitely do not want to use potato flour as a one-for-one sub. For one thing, I don't think you'd like the taste.

Are you saying I can make a mix of those items in equal quanties, and then I can just sub it for flour?

I recently used potato flour to make a white sauce (butter, flour, milk) and it was very good. The flour required was a small amount, so I'm not sure about substituting it for something as substantial as bread.

Bette Hagman's recipe for a good flour is not equal parts. Not sure what the amounts are as I don't have the book in front of me... but I do know there's a "recipe" for her usual flour.

I think it would be too light to sub 1:1 for wheat flour.

Maybe I am trying to hard. Just stumbled on "Mana form Anna" in another therad here, and found a mix on thier site Open Original Shared Link with the following indgredients:

Tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, chickpea flour, navy bean flour, pinto bean flour, sorghum flour, potato starch, MontinaTM (Indian rice grass also named perennial bunch grass, achnatherum hymnodies), maple sugar, xanthan gum, salt, gluten free yeast.

I dont see any Rice, Corn or gluten in that. If that actully tastes good, I could just order that mix and us that in place of any bread products, and use the above mentioned "Bette Hagman's recipe" for any flouring type things (IE Nuggets, etc)

Man, at least the diabetic is not travling with us, that might make food plans completly impossible! :mellow:

I use sorghum flour for breading chicken for frying, etc. It works really well too. :)

there are a lot of non-rice, non-corn, non-gluten flours including:

sorgum (may have cross reactivity with corn, so test carefully)

millet

quinoa

bean (many types)

amaranth

soy

nut (many types)

tapioca

There's a real good recipe for chicken nuggets that you can make and freeze so you can always have for kids that in the Special Diets for Special Kids book. I'll look and see if I made a copy. Betty Hagman has the best recipe books for people with gluten, dairy and nut intolerances. If one of the ingredients will not work for you then she'll put what to substitute it with.

I'm a HUGE fan of Manna from Anna bread mix. I make it in English muffin rounds and have awesome rolls for sandwiches. It holds up better than any other bread I've tried!

Manna From Anna is wonderful, it tastes and "feels"just like wheat bread. If you like wheat bread, you will love this.

You cannot directly substitute any one gluten-free flour for wheat, you must use a blend and don't forget the xanthan gum!!

I highly recommend (and I know celiac3270 will probably second this) that you visit another message board. It's at www.delphiforums.com, in the sidebar click on Health & Wellness and you will see Celiac Disease Support Group come up. There is a WEALTH of cooking and baking knowledge in there that I've seen nowhere else. I am quite positive there is someone in there with exactly the mix you are looking for.

Hey VydorScope,

Here's a great recipe that I love and you can freeze. It comes out really crispy and delicious. I got it out of Roben Ryberg's Gluten Free Kitchen book.

Fried Chicken/Nuggets

1 frying chicken 2 1/2 - 3 pounds

1/2 cup cornstarch - Substitute with other flour for your sister-in-law

1/2 cup potato starch

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon xantham gum

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)

For Frying

2 cups oil

Rinse chicken & set aside. Place remaining ingredients into large freezer bag or paper bag. Shake to mix well.

Heat oil in frying pan to 375 degrees

One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag and coat well with flour mixture. Press flour mixture firmly onto chicken if needed.

Place coated chicken into frying pan. Repeat for remaining pieces of chicken. Fry on each side for approximately 15 minutes. No pink should be seen in the meat; or, if you have a meat thermometer, the chicken should reach a temperature of 185 degrees.

Alternatively, chicken may be deep fried for approximately 20 minutes.

I'll add to this. If your child, like my child, he really loves McDonald's chicken nuggets. Melonie from a couple other sites I am on posted a great recipe, and low and behold it IS just like McDonald's!! It's simply crushed plain potato chips (I toss mine in the food processor and crush 'em up good) and GROUND chicken (like hamburger) DO NOT use ground turkey, it doesn't work for some reason.

Anyway, I make little balls out of the ground chicken, roll it in egg (or anything that will make it stick) and then in the crushed chips...then I put them on a baking sheet, flatten it like a nugget, and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Walla. I can't keep these suckers in the house!

Do you cook the chicken before grinding? And how do you grind it, you have some kind of grinder?

It's not precooked. I buy it already ground (it's pre-packaged in the meat section of our grocery store...right with the ground turkey and the hamburger usually...but I do know others who just have the butcher at the grocery store grind up some chicken breasts for them.)

Yes, they're so good. I haven't ground the chicken, but I just roll the egg and potato chips. Will have to try it ground, but any way you do it, it tastes great. Be forewarned: it looks very strange, possibly unappetizing the first time...once you know what they taste like, though, you really don't care :lol::D

I just bolded the time and temp for you, Vincent (from Bridget's post)

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
