Maybe A Dumb Question About Rice Flour...

Does anyone here make their own flour? I googled "making rice flour" and found a bunch of different techniques. One called for washing it first, then drying it till just damp, then grinding it, then cooking the flour over low heat till completely dry. :blink:

Another just said to put the rice in a dry chopper and grind away.

As a total non-cook obviously if I do this I'm doing option #2! :lol:

Have you done this and is it the same as what I would buy? Which I don't want to do -- buy it, that is -- because I'm cheap and I hate shopping. <_<

Yes, but I don't *want* to go traipsing around trying to find an Asian market. Like I said in my original post, I hate shopping. When I go to my regular grocery store -- as infrequently as possible -- I can pick up a large bag of rice. If I could then come home and toss some of it in a grinder and get flour out of it that would be much preferable to driving somewhere through all our horrible traffic, parking, going in the store, finding the one thing I went there for, driving back home... <_<

I could be wrong, but if rice is like any other grain, you should just be able to grind it. The fineness of the flour will be determined by how well it's ground (I had a hand-grinder for our wheat that I had to grind coarse, then set the stones closer & grind fine). The amt of moisture in the grain could affect how well it grinds. You want it really dry.

I hate shopping too and am finding some of my high-use items at places like (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned). Our favorite hot cereal - Rice & Shine - is available in 4-packs with super saver shipping & by putting it on auto-order I saved another 15% bringing the price down to $3 a box (this is the cheapest Whole Foods ever sells it for on sale.)

If you don't relish the idea of grinding your rice, you could try Bob's Red Mill rice flour. I purchase this product and it's ground very fine.

You can order it 4 packages at a time for $16.98 and if you order $25 you get free shipping. If you use it a lot, you can put it on auto-order (1, 2, 3, 4 month intervals) and save another 15% and get free shipping every time on the discount price of $14.43 (no need to order $25 worth of Amazon items).

Ok so they blotted out the name of the store I was trying to help you out with. It's a big book store online that starts with an A and ends with N. There is a forest by the name.

I understand banning companies that Spam, but some companies make this difficult way of eating easier with their pricing & fast delivery.

Good luck

Thanks very much for than info - I suppose I can guess which big on-line store it is, that begins with an A and ends with an N. lol.. I guess I'll try grinding it myself once and see what happens, then if it doesn't work out I'll know where to order it.

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.
