gluten-free But Tapioca Intolerant

I have ulcerative colitis and am also gluten intolerant. In my experiments with gluten free products I have discovered that I am apparently sensitive to tapioca (it aggravates my UC symptoms).

I love to cook and bake so I am disappointed that I will be unable to use the gluten-free baking mixes that are readily available on the market. They make life so simple!

Do you have a gluten-free/tapioca free baking mix recipe that you could share that is pretty all-purpose and doesn't change texture/taste too much and that is also simple to make? Thanks!

I haven't tried tapioca flour yet, but have it in my cupboard. Last weekend something smacked me, it was either dairy or chickpea flour. Just in case you don't already know, Elana Amsterdam has a nice cookbook that is pretty simple, but uses almond flour exclusively. The upside is that you don't gave to add xanthum or guar gum, and that almond flour is pretty healthy. The recipes are pretty simple, with short ingredient lists.

The downside is that you have to purchase the flour online, keep it in the freezer, and bring it to room temperature before proceeding with most recipes.

I've found I can't tolerate quinoa. It's funny how the different "safe" grains affect us differently.

I get the almond flour at nutsonline.com. You can see some of her recipes and blog at glutenfreegoddess.com. I hope that helps.

I've seen recipes that use oat flour vs. tapioca, but I've had issues with gluten-free oats, and haven't pursued tried any of those. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the website recommendation. I will check it out. I haven't had any issues with gluten free oats so that might be a good place to start. I use those (ground in the food processor) in my meatloaf and meatballs already.

You could do what I do for my corn allergic son. Follow any one of the recipes for a flour blend but use only the starches that you can have. We sub tapioca for corn but you could so the opposite and use corn or potato for tapioca so that you are using a combo of corn and potato for your starches.

Oops, I did post the wrong website for Elana Amsterdam. Thanks for providing the correct post. :)

I would also suggest subbing for another starch. I've subbed arrowroot pretty successfully... on the down side it is much more expensive.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
