i was wondering if I can use white rice flour instead of gluten-free all purpose flour? Does it make a difference?

I've tried it. It seemed to work fine in muffins, especially in my pumpkin muffins since the pumpkin holds it all together. I also made cranberry orange muffins and corn muffins with white rice flour. Both tasted fine but looked a little different because the flour is so pale. I did add some Xanthan Gum as a binder.

I haven't tried cookies yet...I'm curious if anyone has had luck making cookies that didn't fall apart with rice flour...

If you want to subsitute straight rice flour,

1 cup wheat flour = 7/8 cup rice flour (brown or white)

Or use a mix of

3 cups white rice flour

1 cup potato starch flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour

The mixture will probably be better, because all rice flour can be gritty.

I agree that you have to use a mixture of flours. I had more baking disasters than I can remember when I tried using just rice flour. I've also discovered that brown rice flour works better in the mix. Add at least 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum per cup of gluten-free flour or baked goods will be really crumbly.

I have pretty good results with taking one cup of rice flour, take out 2 tbs. and replace with potato starch. Add 1/2 tsp. of xanthan gum. I used the mix that mommida listed for Christmas cookies, and they turned out excellent--the only problem is that I now react to tapioca flour. I am going to try a mixture of rice flour, sorghum flour and potato starch as soon as I can get some sorghum flour. When I do, if it is successful, I'll post.

I never had to cook before going gluten-free. My hubby used to be a chef so he did all the cooking until we stopped going out twice a week last month post dx. I saw Gluten Free Panty all purpose flour at WF and it says just use it like reg. flour. It has a lot of different flours in it already. My question is what is the purpose of buying all those flours yourself? It is cheaper that way? I know it would not be for me as I only make pumpkin bread about twice a year and don't bake besides that. But for those of you buying all these flours, are you just baking alot so your stuff doesn't go bad? I'm just curious.

Once I asked someone about how I could make pumpkin bread a really good cook on here told me about 10 flours I'd need and so I said to myself 'okay no more pumpkin bread for me'. Then I see this GFP flour package but I never saw anything on this site (or any other) about it. For those of you who aren't Martha Stewart, but you bake infrequently, you can just buy a bag of gluten-free flour and bake until your heart's content!

I bake several times a week, between pancakes, muffins, waffles, cookies and occasionally bread. For me, it's way cheaper to buy my 3 main flours in bulk (br. rice, potato and tapioca), and since my family loves the results, I've decided to stick with my success. If I baked infrequently, I would buy a tried and true packaged gluten-free flour mix.

At holiday time when I needed to make a lot of cookies on a deadline, I used Kinninck gluten free flour mix. It was awesome! The cookie dough I usually have a hard time with worked better gluten free. I did add some Or-gran gluten free gluten replacement. (It has ground peas in it!)

People swear it is cheaper buying your main flours in bulk and making your own mixture. Unless you have somewhere to store all that bulk flour, that may not be worth the effort and hassle. If you don't intend to do a lot of baking, a bag of gluten-free flour could be enough for you.

Yes, you should definately add some xanthan gum or guar gum for better texture. If you are using a gluten free cook book that is probably in the ingredients. I think the kinnicknik mix all ready had the xanthan gum in it. I don't know about gluten free pantry's mix.

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      Thank you! Eating out/take out has been half of my meals for a while so you are correct that this will be my biggest challenge. This has been a journey and I appreciate your help!

      "Bonus points". I like that analogy!  At this point, the following article might be helpful: Eating out will be the biggest challenge and will present the most threat to avoiding gluten since you don't have control over how food is prepared and handled back in the restaurant kitchen. Become comfortable with asking questions of restaurant staff and requesting that your food be cooked in clean pots/pans/surfaces that haven't been used for gluten containing foods since last washed. In time, you will become more comfortable with taking control in these situations and learn to be appropriately assertive. One thing that will take time for you to get a handle on is how sensitive you are to minor amounts of gluten such as you might get in cross contamination scenarios. Each of us is different in that sense and there is no substitute for personal experience. When in doubt, however, avoid foods that you feel may be significantly cross contaminated. Better safe than sorry. In time, you will develop a sixth sense about these things.

      Thank you!  Yes - labs are above but Deamidated Gliadin was super high, tTG was a weak positive and Immunoglobulin A was way below normal which gives "bonus points" to the positive tests because it can also cause false negative results.  This information confirms my thinking and I really appreciate your feedback!!!

      By far, the most likely cause of villous atrophy in the Marsh 3 range is celiac disease but there are other possible causes. Did you also have positive antibody tests? My guess is that when you see your physician he/she will declare you to have celiac disease. Of course, the ultimate proof of the pudding will be if you experience definite improvement in symptoms after going gluten free which, since you have now completed testing, you should begin to do.

      Hi again - I received the biopsy results but haven't had follow up appointment with Dr. yet.  Wondering if you could comment on this: "Duodenum, random, Biopsy (Cold Forceps): MILD VILLOUS BLUNTING WITH PROMINENT INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES, CONSISTENT WITH SPRUE (MARSH TYPE 3A). See Comment. Negative for Infectious Organisms, Dysplasia or Malignancy. COMMENT: While characteristic, the histologic findings are not diagnostic for gluten-sensitive enteropathy / celiac disease. A number of additional entities can enter into the differential diagnosis of celiac disease based on the histologic features, including tropical sprue, bacterial overgrowth / stasis, unclassified sprue, specific food allergies, many drugs including NSAIDs, olmesartan and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and a wide range of autoimmune diseases including adult-onset autoimmune enteropathy, diabetes, thyroiditis, lupus and multiple sclerosis and occasionally common variable immune deficiency. History of drug take, celiac serologies, HLA-DQ status and response to a gluten-free diet might be a key for a definitive diagnosis" They say "consistent with Sprue (Marsh Type 3A)" and then comment that the findings are not diagnostic for celiac disease.  I thought Marsh type 3 was conclusive (and I know that 3A is the best outcome as it relates to intestinal damage). Is this just normal caveat language or am I missing something?  I had appt scheduled for tomorrow but Dr. is sick and now rescheduled to over a week from now.  Appreciate any insight you can offer in the mean time.  Thanks!!
