Using Rice Flour

A new diet can be quite overwhelming, especially considering all the new ingredients that had never occurred to many of us to use before this. In light of this fact, I think it might be good to have one thread where we can talk about one ingredient at a time. This thread would be for rice flour.

What do you use rice flour for? Do you normally have different grinds of grains for different purposes? What qualities have you noticed using rice flour as compared to other flours? What is it best for?

I'm kind of new at using different flours, but craving something new for breakfast, I made a hot cereal with rice flour this morning. 1 cup of water and 4 Tbs. Rice flour mixed and microwaved for about 2 minutes, stirring at 1 minute and at 20 second intervals after that. Topped with butter and maple syrup.

It was a success with my five year old as well. She tried mine, then asked for her own bowl. :-)

Hi Lemontree. Welcome to the board. I just use it to bake cakes and to make bread and biscuts. That's about it. Glad you found success in your new breakfast entree :)

Y'all are gonna love this one.

I use brown rice flour as a facial skin exfoliant. Seriously. Works great!

I know I could cook with it, too....but use KAF for most cooking.

I'm loving it. And what do you wash your hair with? I've started rinsing mine with apple cider vinegar. Works great. Can't figure out what to wash it with to get the detergents out, though.

I use JR Ligget's shampoo bar and Magik Botanicals oil free (salicylate/gluten free) shampoo. I use Pantene to get the deposits off when I apply henna.

Sorry for the derailment. What deposits? Where do you buy your other shampoos?

Both at health food stores or online.

I keep sweet rice flour and regular rice flour around for pancakes, fritters, brownies, coating pans, etc.

Rice flour is my preferance flour mostly because of the flavor. If I use a mixed flour, I will still mix in more rice flour, mostly becasue of the taste.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
