What To Do With These Flours?

I have these flours leftover from a bread mix (that failed several times :P haha), other random flours that I was using and I have no idea what to use them with. I stuck them in the freezer for now so they don't go bad.

Here's what I have,

1 cup sweet sorghum flour

1/4 cup brown rice flour

1 1/2 cup tapioca flour

3 cups potato flour

Any ideas on what I could use these for?

Thanks!

IMO these are great. It's a bit of work but what gluten-free cooking isn't. the "OR " options just lighten up the fat content, either way works great.

sub the white for brown rice flour, and try a a half batch if you want. My girl hates zucchini and loves these muffins, I processed the veggies and it worked nicely.

CARROT ZUCCHINI MUFFINS

2/3 cup sorghum flour or brown rice flour

2/3 cup tapioca flour

2/3 cup white rice flour

3/4 cup of granulated sugar

3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum

2 teaspoons of baking powder

3/4 teaspoon of baking soda

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice or 2 tsp total cinnamon and nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup plain or vanilla low-fat yogurt

1 large egg or egg white only

5 tablespoons of melted butter or olive oil

2 1/2 cups carrot and zucchini, grated or shredded

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare the muffin tins with liners or grease them really well. Whisk the dry ingredients together well in a large bowl. In a med. bowl, combine the egg, yogurt, and melted butter. Make a hole in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients; stir until combined. Add the grated zucchini and carrot. Spoon the batter into muffin cups. Bake for about 20-25 minutes- it may take a little longer in some ovens, but overdone gluten-free muffins are terrible-keep an eye on them!

Makes about 18 muffins.

The potato flour will be the most difficult to use up so I'd just keep it in the freezer. It's a heavy flour and makes a good thickener for a creamy potato soup. I'm still on my original bag of potato flour, which I bought a long while ago.

I should dig out a yummy recipe for potato soup that I've had for a long while that calls for potatoes, broccoli and cheese (among other things)...I need to find it and post it in the recipe section. It was given to me by a friend who had celiac disease (unfortunately she passed away last fall).

Easy as I use those flours mainly.

You can interchange Sorghum flour for any rice flour in yuor recipes. For example, when you make bread or muffins and it calls for "rice flour" use sorghum. Did you know that Redbridge beer is sorghum beer and I luv it!

For the brown rice, use the 1/4 cup in a browned gravy. For the potato flour use in Potato soups or any soup when you want a thickener. For the tapioca flour, again you can use this in any recipe for muffins or cake. Tapioca is a lighter flour and is used alot in gluten free baking. Start reading the ingredients in whatever you are buying and you will see.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
