Looking For Non-Bob's Red Mill Products

I've gone completely grain-free and processed-food free. It's been a month, and I feel slightly better. (2+ years gluten-free, 1 year corn free, tried other eliminations, this is the one that seems to be working).

I'm definitely super sensitive, but sometimes my reactions are subtle. I've heard from many that can't do Bob's Red Mill products (maybe a secondary oat sensitivity or who knows?), so you're the ones I'd like to hear from. I'd really like to make some tapioca flour cheese bread or be able to thicken gravy, but I'm not sure what to use as a trusted brand. Any ideas?

I'm specifically looking for grain-free starches: potato, tapioca, maybe even nut and bean flours.

Thanks!

I use EnerG brand Tapioca flour and EnerG Potato flour too. They have the worst bread in the world but their flours are fine.

Ener-g has potato and tapioca starches that are made in a dedicated facility without oats.

I buy my rice flour and tapioca starch in the oriental section at my store. 89 cents for a two lb bag!!! I bet you could find a good deal at an asian grocery store if there is one near you.

Manischewitz brand for potato starch. They has a great recipe for a potato starch sponge cake.

As a super sensitive I buy things whole, sort, wash, dry, and grind. I haven't found a good tapioca source though.

I also use Ener-G. I'm not sensitive to oats, so I use BRM with no problems. But I use Ener-G's potato and tapioca starch often. I am pretty sensitive to gluten and have never had an issue with it.

I'm in the same boat with Steph, where I have to buy things whole grain and grind them myself.

Nuts I get at anuts.com, but these are unshelled, so they take a bit of work to make into a flour-like consistency. I haven't bothered yet, honestly!

Beans, including chickpeas that I know are often used as a flour in Indian cuisine, I get from rancho gordo, also an online ordering place. I wash these with soap and water, though, multiple times, before using.

Tapioca you could make yourself if you can find some cassava root at the store, as this is the source for tapioca flour. However, if you are planning to use a lot of starch, you might not want to use the tapioca. Cassava has to be processed before it is edible, to rid it of certain toxins. However, even with processing, some toxins still remain that can affect our thyroid, specifically. If we use it periodically, it's okay, but I've read that in areas of the world where it is a staple food, there are very high levels of thyroid problems, goiter, etc...

Considering how many celiacs have issues with the thyroid, it might be worth some extra caution when dealing with tapioca, ya know?

If you wish to make potato or sweet potato starch from scratch, I just found a good looking way to do that today, actually! I haven't tried it, but it seems fairly straightforward.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana
