White rice actually starts out as brown rice, but the husk, bran and germ are removed and only the starchy core is left. So there is a difference in the nutritional values.

I'm wondering if the white rice flour you are finding is in fact sweet white rice flour. The reason is that the sweet variety is popular in Asian desserts/cooking.

You could probably substitute the rice flour with something else, depending on the recipe. Sorghum or millet flour come to mind, but it seems to me if your local shops don't at least carry rice flour, the chances they'd have the others may be even slimmer.

No, the rice flour at the Asian food stores is in fact finely ground white rice flour. They also sell sweet rice flour, but it is clearly labeled as either sweet rice flour or glutinous rice flour.

There is a difference in baking results between the brown and white, just like whole wheat and "white" flours. Since that finely ground brown rice flour is so gosh darn expensive, I simply can't afford it, so I buy Bob's Red Mill brown rice flour, which is much less expensive, and mix it half and half with white rice flour from the Asian store, which is 69 cents a pound. I am quite happy with the results--my baked goods turn out wonderfully, with no "grit," though perhaps not quite as fluffy as they would be with the finely ground brown rice flour.

Thanks all,

I do need the extra fiber (believe it or not) so I will prob mix the white and brown.

Yep our asian stores carry both reg white and sweet white but nobody here carries that fine grind so I will mix or has anyone tried to take the Bob's and whiz it in the processer to make it a finer grind?

I have also mixed Teff in a number of baked goods with good results.

Man...if you need to add fiber, I'd go with flax seed. That's a great way to bulk up the nutrition of the flour.

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.

      I was diagnosed with celiac and basically had stunted growth because my body wasn’t taking In nutrients which may explain the weight loss I would take this seriously and get tested
