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.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
