Favorite All Purpose Gluten Free Flour?

I'm really low on flour right now and need to get some. I'm wondering what your favorite all purpose gluten free flour is. I've tried a few so far:

Bob's- didn't like

Pamelas- liked OK

King Arthur- really liked for pancakes...cookies not as much

Better Batter- my overall favorite so far

I've been thinking about trying gfJules flour. Or I may just order Better Batter again.

Anyone tried Jules? Did you like it? If not...which flour works great for you?

Thanks

I like both Jules and better batter, but for baking, my very favorite are the Mama's blends. Both The almond and coconut blends are good. Don't be deceived though, they are not low carb blends as the name may hint. They are simply blends like the others. But really good in baking

I mix my own gluten-free flour blend. 1 cup sorghum flour, 1 cup potato starch, 1/2 cup almond flour, and 1 tsp xanthan gum.

King Arthur for most things and Betty Crocker gluten-free for cookies and cakes.  I have admittedly turned to Against the Grain for loaves of bread and pizza crusts. YUM!

Thanks all for your input! I decided to order Better Batter again. Creature of habit I guess.

I love Cup-4Cup from Williams -Senoma. I use it for everything just like I used Wheat flour.

I only really like Doves Farm but that is only because it is the only one available to me :) I do really like it though!

Thanks mamaw...I was interested in the jules flour. How do you like it?

I saw that glutenfreegirl has a flour now too. Gum free. I wanted to order, but the shipping was so high.

Jules  is  good... I agree  the shipping  is  usually  very high  , that  is  why  some online  shopping  is better  because  you can  pick up  free  shipping....

If  you  want  flours  with  more  of the good  grains  then  the almond/ coconut , whole  grain blends  are  much better....

I use Bobs Mill but I am not too keen on it really, and its not cheap either,  but its the only option I have, and so I have decided to order some flours online, and mix them up myself like BM.

I usually have Namaste on hand - it's nut-free too which is crucial for my son.  Normally I just mix my own or stick to coconut flour with flax, chia, and hemp - heavy but good.

I pay  almost $10 a bag, which is ridiculous really.  I'm in Costa Rica where its tricky finding things.

Since I am newly diagnosed with wheat sensitivity I have been shopping for gluten free products for the last two weeks or so.  Flour has been the big issue so I am so grateful for this thread! 

 

I just found some Pillsbury gluten free flour containing rice flour, potato starch, pea fiber, tapioca starch and xanthan gum. I haven't tried it yet but need to start up my spring baking.  

 

What differences can I expect from baking with gluten free flour and regular wheat flour? Also, has anyone else ever tried the Pillsbury gluten-free flour and what were the results?

 

Thanks!

I haven't seen that one yet, but it is certainly worth a try.  I have spent a not so small fortune collecting ingredients for mulitple gluten-free flour recipes, as well as prepared mixtures.  I am going to settle down and start baking while rating each and every one to try and come up with one or two that will make me happy (or at least somewhat satisfied).  Please let us know what you think of the Pillsbury.  After awhile you can start noticing a trend of the ingredients that tend to show up in most of the more acceptable recipe combinations.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
