Flour Mix Without Starches

I'd like to try a flour mix that doesn't use starches and was wondering if anyone had any ideas. The flours I usually use are garbanzo bean, coconut, buckwheat, teff and sorghum and, when a recipe calls for it, I use guar gum. Are there combination of some or all of those that would make an effective and versatile flour mix?

      How to interpret my genetic test results

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response! Does this mean that each of my parents on their own may not have HLA-DQ8 but combined together gave me HLA-DQ8?

      Any chance you are getting traces of gluten in your diet? This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      How to interpret my genetic test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your interpretation is on the right track! Based on your results, you do have one of the genetic markers associated with celiac risk—HLA-DQ8—which means you inherited DQA1*03 from one parent and DQB1*0302 from the other. These two alleles together form the HLA-DQ8 haplotype, so having both confirms the DQ8 positivity (not just one alone). Since you’re DQ2-negative but DQ8-positive, this still means you have a genetic predisposition to celiac (though not everyone with DQ8 develops it). If you’re experiencing symptoms, the next step would be discussing antibody testing (like tTG-IgA) or an endoscopy with your doctor, but I think you decided not to do the gluten challenge and just go gluten-free.

      gluten-free in Wilmington, DE

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A quick Google search turns up lots of options, but be careful eating out, as cross-contamination is common--even in restaurants that offer a gluten-free menu: https://www.google.com/search?q=gluten-free+in+Wilmington%2C+DE&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS981US983&oq=gluten-free+in+Wilmington%2C+DE

      Can Celiac flares affect my eyes?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s absolutely possible for celiac flares to affect your eyes—many people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity report eye inflammation (like uveitis or dry eyes) during systemic reactions. Since celiac is an autoimmune condition, the inflammation isn’t limited to just your gut; it can trigger immune responses elsewhere, including the eyes. The fact that your symptoms coincide suggests a clear connection, even if your diet has been strict. Cross-contamination or hidden gluten could still be playing a role, or it might be worth exploring other autoimmune triggers (like vitamin deficiencies or coexisting conditions). Have you talked to your doctor about testing for inflammation markers or seeing an ophthalmologist? It’s frustrating when symptoms persist despite your best efforts, but you’re not imagining this—research and patient accounts back it up. Here is a recent scientific paper on this: https://www.cureus.com/articles/358124-ocular-insights-exploring-uveitis-as-a-manifestation-of-celiac-disease#!/
