Gross Cookies!

I just mixed up a batch of Snickerdoodles, got the dough in the fridge and then DD1 and I licked the beaters to "make sure it tastes ok"! Well, surprise, it's GROSS :blink: !!! I have never had this happen before. I ran out of my homemade flour mix so I used Bob's Rd Mill gluten-free All Purpose Baking Flour instead. Am I crazy or did that mix make my cookie dough taste like fish?! I used it once before and didn't like the results but I'm pretty sure it was just a bad recipe (pizza crust I think). So, who uses this mix and what for? I used the last of it and most likely won't buy it again but I'm curious.

I've never noticed that it tastes like fish but after the egg scare, I no longer taste raw dough. Does it taste too "beany"? If so, that's probably why you didn't like it. Did you bake the cookies and see how they taste?

It's not my favorite flour and I really prefer to use separate flours and mix my own.

We have chickens so the eggs were safe :) I'm thinking it's the bean flours, that must be the way I taste it. I'm going to bake a test batch in a little while, I'm hoping they're okay!

They may taste better baked...hopefully! But that still doesn't mean you'll like them or use that flour again.

I don't like Bob's Red Mill gluten free all purpose baking flour at all. It has bean flours mixed in and some people do not like the smell and flavor bean flours impart. It is also possible the flour was rancid. I'd say it was the flour.

I haven't used that mix but I did do the black bean brownies in Living Without using bean flour (garbonzo) and then another batch with sorghum. The bean flour batter smelled absolutely beyond awful. I was making a back to back batch and wouldn't have cleaned the food processor between but the bena flour batter smelled so bad, I didn't think we would be able to eat it.

After it baked though, it smelled just fine and tasted great. My daughter and I couldn't taste much difference between the two batches, and my husband (who doesn't have to eat gluten-free) prefered the bean flour. He said it was a little sweeter.

But the way the batter smelled I would have thought the bean flour batch would go in the trash.

So your cookies may be great after baking.

DD1 & 2 loved the cookies, DH thought they were good as well. I hated them-no more bean flours here! Then again, I'm pregnant, plus my sense of smell has always been more sensitive then most. I can tell the recipe was awesome so I can't wait to try again with my own flour mix!

Bob's All Purpose has a lot of garbanzo bean flour in the mix. I'm not fond of the flavor.

I find the bean flour taste really strong. When I first started baking gluten-free I used Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten-free flour and I didn't like the taste of anything. Oddly enough all three of my kids and my DH didn't notice anything bad about the taste at all. I think some people are more sensitive to the bean flour taste. I never thought of myself as having sensitive taste buds.

I make my own gluten-free flour mixes now. You can find lots of recipes on the internet. I usually use brown rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch for things like cookies.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
