Alternatives To Rice Flour?


GFAnnie

Recommended Posts

GFAnnie Explorer

I also started a post about rice free pizza crust recipes, but I want to also ask a general question to some of you with more gluten free cooking experience than me.

I would like to start moving away from the copious amounts of rice my family is consuming, due to the latest arsenic in rice news. We eat way too much, especially my children.  I'm hoping that maybe there are some good alternatives to rice flour in baking? Anyone have any suggestions, or are also trying to steer away from rice flour? I did a quick search and saw sorghum and amaranth flour mentioned. Anyone try these? Can you simply swap them out in a recipe asking for rice flour? I've done some baking with almond flour, which is delicious, but very expensive and not great for all kinds of baking, I don't believe.

Anyone?

Sorghum works very well.

I use coconut flour, but I'm sure it does depend on what you're baking. It's about $5.00 a bag...almond flour is definitely crazy expensive!

Quinoa flour works well as a substitution where rice flour is called for. You can do quinoa flour more economically by grinding it yourself, if you have a grinding implement.

 

I know where you're coming from, we also try to limit our rice consumption, due to arsenic concerns.

Coconut flour (certified G.F. too!) is pretty inexpensive in a 5 pound bag at Sam's Club.

I agree that sorghum flour would also be a good substitute. That can be purchased inexpensively in bulk or home ground.

Oh, and if you're wanting to continue eating whole rice from time to time, white basmati rice from India is one of the safest rice varieties. (very low arsenic level) I buy mine in 20 lb bags from Sam's Club for just over $1 per pound.

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      I don’t think it matters much, there’s another type of cordyceps but I’m not sure if there’s a lot of difference, the one I’m using is cordyceps sinensis from maesyffin in wales, sinensis is the one with a long history of medicinal use in china. I think the alcohol (vodka) in the tincture helps with uptake vs taking capsules. And yes, changing my diet helped but it’s almost impossible to maintain as I can’t eat any lectins or sugar which is almost everything. Low lectin is about the best to hope for, they’re in everything. I can eat teff, millet, hemp seeds, blueberries, strawberries, blackcurrants, yogurt, cheese, walnuts, pistachios, macadamia, broccoli, sweet potato, carrots, beetroot, olives, rocket, onions, garlic, avocado, kale, mushrooms, chlorella/spirulina, and fish. That’s about it. I keep quail and make their food myself because lectins get into the commercial pellet fed chickens eggs. It took me years of adding one thing at a time with three weeks of pain every time I got it wrong to figure this out but there’s a finger prick blood test available now that will tell you which foods are triggering your autoimmune system, they test for 200+ different proteins and measure igg and ige antibodies. Good luck, I hope the mushrooms help but best to address the cause of the problem I think and have the igg and ige antibody test.

      Just a heads up, if your butt sores go away on a gluten free diet, you would need to go back to eating gluten for a period of weeks or months if you want to get formally tested for celiac disease. Otherwise, the testing will be invalidated.

      https://www.drugs.com/inactive/sodium-starch-glycolate-128.html https://celiac.org/gluten-free-living/gluten-in-medicine-vitamins-and-supplements/ Santina, are you a super sensitive celiac? If there is gluten in the starch used in this med it would be a very small amount since gluten is the protein component of wheat, not the starchy part. You can never completely separate the two but the starch should have only a trace of gluten I would think. It is also possible that you reacting to the active component of the medication itself.

      What is NCGS? I don't know anything for certain yet; I am simply in the beginning stages of trying to uncover the root cause of a skin issue.
