Flour Mix Ideas


Rosies

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone new to the boards. Just wanted to throw something out there, was thinking about developing a site where you can order "flour by the cup". It just seems like everyone has these great receipes but you need to spend so much on all the different flours. If you could go to one site and order specialty mixes an example would be 2 cups of white rice flour, 1/4 cup of brown rice flour, 1/2 cup topioca starch and 1/4 cup of potato starch. I know there are already premixes out there but there are not too many different varities. I buy all the different type of flour and as I am not a full time baker most of the packages go to waste as I only use 1/4 cup here and 1/2 cup there...

Thanks everyone for any input!

I love the idea , but... the problem I see is shipping will still cost a lot. For the cost of shipping I can buy a couple of pounds of rice flour/tapioca starch and mix it myself.

It might work out as bulk purchases as it's tough to have 5 or 6 1 lb bags of assorted flours/starches on hand.

Would you have options like resistant starch , almond flour and coconut flour or just rice, potato and tapioca ?

Thanks! It would (at some point) have all the flours and starches as well as the misc items baking powder/soda, xanthan gum, etc. whatever you need to make the mix you

As an old timer with celiac I can't see how flours are wasted.. Just keep them int the freezer & you always have them on hand.. I bake alot but I always have gluten-free flours/starches available as I don't have access to run to a local store tp purchase so I buy in bulk..

Plus for me the cost of buying only a cup of this or that would be costly plus shipping....buying a 3# bag of mixed flour is about $20.00 so baging less is always more costly , then add-in packaging...

Plus there are so many mixes now available plus a few new ones coming out at the end of the year......

I know I would not purchase it...great idea to split with your local celiac buddies...I just don't see it flying on a national basis...sorry...

      Thank you Scott - I can’t think of much that’s changed diet wise but I’ll definitely try to see if any of this works and probiotics are a great idea thank you!

      Hello there @maylynn  I'm a slow healer from the UK.  I sympathise.  Despite three endoscopies which showed nothing wrong, I frequently suffered from a very sore stomach, bloating, feeling queasy.   For some time I was taking the wrong iron supplement (Floradix instead of Floravital - the former has gluten in it, but the latter none).  But I would say even very little iron from an approved source made my stomach sore, I think it can be quite irritating. Perhaps that is an issue for you? Oats (the gluten-free pure ones) were an issue for many years (now fine).   Even though my endoscopy findings did not reflect any problems with healing, or any other issues, I self-diagnosed myself with gastritis as it seemed the feeling of nausea and in my case burning in the stomach pointed to it.  I went onto a gastritis/reflux diet and that really helped.   Have a google - there are tonnes online.  That meant avoiding spicy, greasy food, onions, tomatoes, coffee and alcohol.  (Actually, I don't drink, but I did toast someone during that time at a baptism and it set my stomach on fire.)   Instead of drinking strong coffee, I drank water, camomile tea, warm ginger water... so soothing.  I would not go to bed with a full stomach when things were bad, I would let my stomach rest from say 8pm to 8am, which really helped.   My husband and I then decided to buy a new oven and to buy a new dishwasher - we did need new ones anyway.  The new oven had two compartments, gluten goes in one, gluten free in the other.  The new dishwasher was a Miele which does a full rinse with clean water before washing the dishes.  But before I could afford a new dishwasher I would hand wash the dishes and make sure they were really rinsed well, no residue  (unlike our old dishwasher that was really not rinsing well at all). I stopped eating out for quite a few years - I think this is a biggy - although I would have coffee and soft drinks out. Eventually, my levels normalised.  What of the above was the 'silver bullet'?  I am not sure, but finally I did feel a lot better.  Occasionally I will take an over the counter PPI (omeprazole) or a small dose of Gaviscon, but most of the time I don't need them now. I'm not expecting anyone to go to all these lengths, but it could be that one or two of the tips I give you might work.  Don't give up hope! Cristiana

      Yes, it would make sense to go mostly gluten free, since it gives your troubles.

      Yes, I made an effort to eat extra gluten at least 3 weeks before the endoscopy. I probably ate a some amount in the weeks before that. I had diarrhea, which resolved once I cut back after the endoscopy. So I think it would make sense to go mostly gluten free?

      Yay for the normal biopsy! Thanks for the follow up. Were you eating gluten prior to the endoscopy?
