Can garbanzo bean flour be substituted for sorghum flour?

When baking substitutions can get tricky. I'd imagine the answer would depend on what you are making with it. I'm definitely not an expert baker, but will point you to an article by one which may or may not fully answer your question:

Bette Hagman was around when I started baking gluten free.  Now, we can buy “ cup for cup” blends making it much easier.  Here is a blast from the past:

Garbanzo flour tastes like — beans.  Years ago, I used to have to mask it with spices and dried fruit (like cranberry orange coconut cookies).   Could never make a plain white cake or butter cookies using it.  

If you are going to bake, try  a blend.  Most are pretty good.  I just made orange cranberry scones this afternoon using Bob’s Red Mill “cup for cup”.  Delicious!  If you must use what is on hand, add things to cover up the bean flavor.  It can work for a sorghum substitute.  You still need a Gum to bind it.

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.

      By the way, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease, and if so, are you on a 100% gluten-free diet?

      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!

      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.

      @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.
