Shiloh Farms Flours?

Has anyone experienced any issues with any Shiloh Farms products? They make a tapioca flour that is highly recommended by one of my favorite gluten-free bloggers.... BUT I just read the package and it has the disclaimer that the flour is processed on equipment that also processes wheat. Their website describes a very thorough cleaning procedure and production schedule that seems to do everything possible-- aside from testing-- to avoid cross-contamination. Just wondering if anyone has experienced any glutening due to their products?

Thanks. I just made a batch of oatmeal cookies using 2 TBSP of their tapioca flour and I really hope my 3-year old son who has Celiac will be able to eat them!

I have no experience with Shiloh, but if your son has trouble with the cookies, make sure it is from the flour and not from the oatmeal, which many of us have problems with. Were they gluten free oats? Even then some celiacs do not tolerate them.

I don't have any experience with that brand either. I wouldn't even try the flour based on it being made on shared lines. I've become much more sensitive to this. I also am intolerant to gluten free oats. It causes me just as much pain and misery as wheat/barley/rye. I also have to ask about gluten free oat cross contamination because it will get me too. If your son does have a reaction it may be hard to tell if it is coming from the flour or the oats. It might be better to try them separatly from one another at first to be sure.

Just some additional info-- my son hasn't eaten the cookies yet, so no reaction. Also, we're using the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats and he's never had reaction to them before. I was just hoping to use this new brand of tapioca flour that came so highly recommended.

Thanks!

Tapioca flour is tapioca flour, there is nothing special to "recommend" it, and I would certainly not be recommending a brand processed on the same lines as wheat when there is plenty of it that is NOT processed on the same lines as wheat. I just looked at their website and they sell a lot of wheat and wheat products like spelt and bran.

They do clean between the line runs. Open Original Shared Link

It's always something. I was checking out a site for domestic pine nuts because people have had problems with imported ones making their mouths numb, I found a site selling them from the southwest, and only after reading thru the blog I discover the supposedly 100% pure things are actually doused with vegetable oil while still in the shell before they open them. Nice to know ! :angry: No mention of what sort of oil, of course.

I agree with the previous posters. Tapioca flour is tapioca flour. I would be curious why that particular blogger feels it's necessary that it's brand specific and she highly recommends it. Do they advertise on her blog? Just curious.

Hmmm... I guess they could be advertising on her site, but I took a cooking class with her and she definitely had her reasons for recommending Shiloh Farms and seemed sincere. Maybe I'm naive? She bakes for her gluten-intolerant son, so I just assumed she was as cautious as me with gluten. But, I'm learning that different people treat those "manufactured/processed" warnings differently. Oh well.

I think I need to just err on the side of caution and dump the flour and frozen dough and start over with tapioca starch that I have in place of the Shiloh Farms tapioca flour.

Thanks!

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
