All Purpose Flour?

I love to make cookies and have been using my old recipe, but of course replacing the flour in it. Right now I'm using a mixture of white rice, potato starch and tapioca flour. Every cup of this mixture equals one cup of wheat flour. I got this from my nutritionist I had seen in the past and it is good. My question is about all purpose flour. Can you use it cup for cup of wheat flour? Does it bake well and not make things dry and crumbly? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

All purpose flour is wheat flour. . .they are the same thing. So yes, you can substitute your flour mix one for one with the flour quantities in your recipes, though you may need to adjust the liquid contents slightly. You'll find that your baking (loaves, cakes, etc) will be less crumbly if you add a binder to your flour mix - xanthan gum or guar gum are the traditional ones, gelatin can also be used (for all three use 1 and a quarter to 1 and a half teaspoons of binder per cup of flour) - if you can handle nuts, you may also find you get better flavour using 3/6 rice flour, 1/6 potato starch, 1/6 tapioca starch and 1/6 ground nuts.

Thanks,

I realized after I posted that I should have put this in the baking and cooking tips section. I will try the Kinninnick's all purpose flour (I had meant gluten free in my first post) and see what happens. Sometimes I run out of one of my other kinds and am not sure what to do. My kids don't even notice the difference that they are gluten free (especially my older boys). Still waiting for results on my daughters so for now they are still eating regular but are so supportive of me. Last night I was making regular brownies for a sleepover, my 7 year old daughter saw me and she yelled "Don't eat any of those, Mom, they'll make you sick". The sweetest thing I've ever heard. Thanks again.

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      Mostly because of the inconsistency/irregularity of your symptoms with regard to gluten consumption and other dietary factors. Their doesn't seem to be a real pattern. Histamines are produced by our bodies themselves but they are also found in the foods we eat and the air we breathe (pollen). Certain foods, for example, fermented and aged products, are very high in histamines. Other foods, like bananas and avocados, may be high in histamines but they also may stimulate the body's production of histamines. The body (in the gut) produces a histamine regulating chemical called DAO (Diamine Oxidase). Some people, and this is more common in the celiac community because of damage to the gut lining, don't produce enough DAO to adequately regulate histamine levels in the body. This results in histamine "storms" that produce a variety of symptoms such as headaches, acid reflux and diarrhea. So, I'm just wondering if your symptoms are tied to fluctuating histamine levels that get pushed passed the tipping point at times by various things you may be eating. Anyway, you might want to research it. I also wonder if you have IBS.

      Celiacs vary enormously in their sensitivity to cross contamination and I assume the same may be true for those with NCGS. I also wonder if other things going on in our body at any given time can influence whether or not we experience symptoms upon exposure to gluten, especially with reference to minor amounts like you get in cross contamination. We are more sensitive to certain things at some times more than others. But what you describe makes me wonder if you suffer from MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance. Have you looked into that?

      Baking cooking keeping costs down?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I have seen alot of great recipes but when it comes to gluten-free flours its pricy for 3lbs of gluten-free flour. I also noticed increase in sugars in gluten-free products recipes. What have you been using to lower sugar contect and keep costs down in purchasing gluten-free ingredients to bake/cook yourself.

      Salads the safe bet? Chick Fil A grilled chicken

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      It appears when ging out with friends to a restaurant that doesn't have Gluten free menu salads appear the safest bet worst case scenario. I also read CHick Fil a Grilled chicken is gluten free and you can ask for a gluten-free bun.
