gluten-free Flour Question

Do you notice that a certain gluten-free flour or common ingredient has a weird aftertaste? I notice it a lot in Bob's Red Mill cookie and bread mixes. I baked a loaf of bread mix that had so much potential. It had a great texture and looked beautiful...but it had that dreadful aftertaste. Do you know what I'm talking about?

I suspect it's the bean flour that you dislike.

It could be the tapioca. They had a bad batch last winter/fall. They replaced mine for me and the new batch was fine.

I agree. I dislike all of the bean flours. Some people (me included) really notice the beany flavor, while others don't seem to taste it all.

I learned very quickly that I don't like anything with bean flour in the ingredients. I can taste the beans very strongly. I like the rice/tapioca/potato type combinations better.

We react to Bob's RM Flour ... And we think millet flour has an after taste...

Have you tried sorghum and buckwheat (which is not wheat :blink: )?? I incorporate sorghum into all my mixes for the nutrition (and I can't do soy or potato), and I also use quite a bit of buckwheat in breads especially. I shy away from millet and amaranth, avoid quinoa and cannot have beans.

I use Tom Sawyer for baking now. It's more expensive but worth it to me. Before I used that my favorite blend was sorghum, tapioca, and potato starch. I actually liked that one quite a bit.

      Blood results

      By Russ H · Posted

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  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:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.
