Anybody ordered flours, starches, etc. from www.bulkfoods.com? They have some pretty good prices and they ship in 48 states for @$5.00 an order no matter the weight. Being one that really bakes gluten-free, I would love to use this site, but was curious about cross-contamination.

Could be a good resource, but unsure about the gluten-free issue. I just sent the company an email, but I thought I would ask you guys as well.

Did you hear back from the company? I'd be interested in that website as well.

Thanks!

Not a word. But, I may order one thing and give it a try. I'll post if I do.

Have you tried buying rice and tapioca flours at an Asian market? I haven't, but my Diet mentor provided by my local Celiac Sprue charter swears by hers. She pays about $0.89/pound. That beats the $3.00 plus per bag I paid for at Whole Foods!

I bake for my 11 yo grandson and have used Asian rice flour and tapioca & potato starch for years without any problem. It saves a great deal of money. All the products are in individual packages (usually 1 lb), which I think is safer than bulk items, which can often be found in health food stores. Have not had a problem with the Asian products. Hope this helps you.

How do I find an asian market? What do I look under in the phone book?

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
