Hi guys! I have gotten so much help already from you guys. Thanks so much! So, our only store is a dinky, earth fare, and they do not have a lot of the ingredients I need for the recipes I found that we would like to try. Does anyone know where I can get:

dough enhancer (or is there another name,

tapioca starch (I found the flour), but the only tapioca I could find were the little pearls for the pudding. I am not sure if it is this and I need to cook it down or something?

Powdered egg white solids- or can I use how many eggs per spoon or something?

They also didn't even have corn flour, they had corn meal but not flour.

I also couldn't find corn tortillas either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much guys!

Tapioca flour is the same as tapioca starch. Why they have two names, don't know. :huh:

I can't say that I have come across powdered egg white solids either... what are you making?

Where are you? Our earth fare has a fantastic gluten-free selection. And you should be able to find corn tortillas just about anywhere. They are usually smaller in size that the regular flour ones, though. The same for corn flour, which alot of times is labeled as masa harina. I've seen that at Harris Teeter (not sure if you have one nearby).

Hope that helped a little! :)

Asian markets and regular groceries that have large international aisles and/or ones that are located near populations of internationals carry tapioca starch/flour and it is MUCH less cost than mainstream gluten-free or specialty brands.

I had to order dough enhancer I believe from this site, white vinegar also works

I found powdered egg whites at my local health food store, you might try whole foods

Indian markets are where I get my corn flour

Mission corn tortillas are made on a dedicated line and few people seem to have problems with them.

For "dough enhancer" just use pure 100% apple cider vinegar.

Thank you! I saw Tapioca flour, but the recipe I saw specifically said 'starch NOT the flour.' So, this confuses me.

They might have had the masa harina, but even the sales clerks didn't know that was it, as they stared blankly at the shelves. I will check our HT. Thanks so much, yes, you've helped a lot. Thanks!

Thank you, I will check there as well. I hope I can get a handle on all this new stuff. ;-)

Yes, I found the dough enhancer and ordered it last night. Thank you! Do you know how much vinegar to substitute for it?

I'd have to check in the Indian markets for the flour, thanks so much.

Is it a 1:1 conversion for the substitute?

Thanks so much!

Yes, it is a 1:1 conversion. Which is good since apple cider vinegar is much easier to find.

FYI - masa harina is not the same thing as corn flour. Masa harina is actually "corn dough flour", the corn is turned into a dough, dried out, then ground to make it. It's what is used to make corn tortillas, tamales, pupusas, many Latin foods in general. Corn flour is ground dried corn kernels, more like the way rice flour is made. Depending on the recipe, too, sometimes when it calls for "corn flour", it actually is calling for corn starch. Maybe the recipes you are looking at you could post and some of us could give you suggestions for replacements if needed.

Whole foods sells dough enhancer....I almost purchased some the other day but decided not to. Am glad to hear cider vinegar can be used instead...easier on the budget.

Tapioca flour and tapioca starch are both the same. It is potato starch and potato flour that are not the same. Am curious as to where the recipe you are talking about originated....perhaps you could post it so someone can be of more help with correct information.

I also purchase corn tortillas in the regular supermarkets, but I live in the western United States, where tortillas are easily obtained. I have found Mission tortillas not to my liking....almost stale like. I prefer another brand that originates from Albuquerque, NM.

Yes! Now that I know that I will use it the next time after I run out of the 'real' thing! Thanks!

I got it from celiac sprue site for buttermilk pancakes. It specifically says not starch. So, I am still confused.

Are the tortillas in the ethnic section or a different one, so I can narrow down the search some.

Thanks so much.

Corn tortillas (like Mission) are usually found on an end cap (end of the aisle facing the perimeter of the store) with the flour tortillas in regular grocery stores. Just ask where the tortillas are and they should be able to point them out.

I've honestly never even seen anything labeled "Tapioca Flour" only starch...but you can usually tell it is a starch just by looking at it. It will look just like cornstarch, baking powder, or powdered sugar; very, very fine.

Several stores also have the tortillas on the poison (bread) isle.

I use white corn flour as a direct replacement for wheat flour in cornbread, it is also great thickener for gravy.

Here is picture but the best I recall it was only about 2 bucks a bag last time I bought some.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      By RMJ · Posted

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means.  However, the way the result is presented  does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading
