Cup4Cup gluten-free Flour

One of my friends sent me a bag of William Sonoma's Cup4Cup gluten-free Flour (yes, I have AWESOME friends who have decided they are going to help me with the gluten-free lifestyle as much as possible...I know how lucky I am!)

Over the last couple of months I've used it to make 2 cakes, banana bread and zucchini muffins and they've all turned out just fine. The muffins actually puffed up and look more 'normal' instead of squat and dense like other gluten-free flours I've tried. My family has taste-tested all the recipes and can't really tell the difference between the gluten-free version and the full gluten version of the past. One of the cakes was my grandmother's easy chocolate cake recipe and while it tasted the same the cocoa powder didn't seem to blend as well with the flour mix and there were little white specks throughout the cake. Still tasted good (so I was told, I didn't have any) and was the right texture, it just looked really odd.

To let you know where I am coming from I have to admit I have never been a fan of baking...I love to cook but baking, eh, not so much. Plus I am currently living in Poland and finding the ingredients to create my own flour mix is a laughable idea. Seriously. I haven't been eating much gluten-free replacement food (giving my body time to heal and the horrible quality of the local stuff...OMG! tried a roll that has probably mentally scared me for life *shudder*) but I was desperate for something a little different for breakfast and had to make a cake for a potluck.

So I've seen good results from this flour. It is $19.95 for 3 lbs. I have no idea how that compares to other brands but if you aren't a big baker and need it occasionally, it seems to work with 1 to 1 substitution with my old recipes.

Glad you are finding something that works well for you. Next time try putting the flour blend and coco powder together through a fine mesh sieve or four sifter. It may help blend it bettter and elimiate those specks.

I have written about this flour before. I promise I do not work for the company, but I love the stuff! I have made pie crist, cheese straws, biscuits, so many other things that I had given up on. The flour reeally does work "cup-4-cup". To me, it is a bargain at any price!

      Celiac getting dentures

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
