Has anyone milled their own quinoa flour? If so, what do you do about the rinsing issue? Thanks for your help!

HiDee - Sorry, don't have an answer, but I thought I would throw another question out (and maybe you have the answer).

How fine of a grind can you get at home? Authentic Foods Fine ground brown rice is outrageously priced. Can you get as fine of a grind at home and if so, what kind of grinder?

To be honest, I haven't ever bought brown rice flour. I've only ever ground it at home so I can't say how it compares to Authentic Foods. I think the fineness I get milling brown or white rice or other grains at home is comparable to flours I've bought like sorghum flour or millet flour. I have a Nutrimill, I think it's awesome but a little pricey. I have a friend who has a K-Tec that does pretty equally as well of a fine grind, it's just a whole lot louder than my machine but cheaper. Although, having used both of our mills, brown rice takes a little longer to grind in the Nutrimill than the K-Tec. We don't have any good large health food stores or Asian markets or things like that nearby that sell gluten free flour so I think grinding it myself is a little cheaper. I do still buy all the starches and stuff like that to mix with the flour. I don't know if this helps but good luck!

I have not, but I would hazard a guess that maybe you could rinse it and then toast it, and then grind it?

I have a vita mix 5000 and it came with a grinding container. Friday I tried brown rice and it turned out ok but I am going to sift it to make sure there are no large parts left over. I think it will work fine for the most part.

I was planning on making as many of my own gluten-free flours but saw that about the quinoa also. I was going to do some more research and find out if I could do it at home or not.

      Momma married a bread baker

      Thank you for your kindness. I have just begun CPTSD treatment & it's so hard to go through all this history realizing I could have had a healthier life had my mother had my best interest as she did her own needs and desires. I often thought she had kids to work for her. She did the bills and the laundry. She wore the pants in the family, I knew that & I know my stepfather was elated to tell me no. He had no interest in taking care of me ever. And he doesn't even understand that he caused these horrible health issues of my mothers and myself. His ignorance is bliss. He said he didn't want to hear about my health issues. Thanks again for being here and responding. It gives me a place of safety and understanding I haven't had for years. thanks, Jane

      A year and a half of test confusion...

      Thank you.  I certainly take it seriously, no matter what my diagnosis is, and I do a lot of my own research also.  I just want to make sure I'm doing everything "right" as much as I can without jeopardizing any test result accuracy since this may be my last shot at getting an official diagnosis since I plan to go fully gluten-free afterwards! Yup, I am certainly making a current effort to eat plenty of it!  Not only for test accuracy, but I figure I may as well enjoy it now just in case it's my last go at it also.

      Alprazolam gluten free?

      By CeliacPsycho246 · Posted

      @Scott Adams I would say it means , no it is not verified gluten free. I am extremely sensitive and I also have OCD. So that answer is entirely too vague for me. However , if it suits others then I am happy for those individuals

      Have you considered eating plenty of gluten from now until your capsule endoscopy? If you truly have celiac disease that would increase the chances of damage being seen.

      I just want to reinforce what Scott said and that is we have tended to think in these neat little black and white categories of it's either celiac or NCGS when in reality it may not be quite that neat. There's just a lot we don't know and the immune system is very complex. I often wonder if I had been gluten free as a child if I would have avoided developing celiac disease as an adult. I think there is also this misconception that if you have NCGS, gluten is not harmful, it just creates discomfort and inconvenience.
