Flour Conversions

I'm new to all this, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a conversion table that will tell me how to substitute alternative flours in my favorite recipes. For example, 1 cup all purpose flour = x amount rice flour/soy flour/etc. Also, do I have to use different amounts of any of the other ingredients? Thanks to anyone who can help!

I use this mix of flour: 3 C brown rice flour, 1 C potato starch, 1/2 C tapioca starch and 2 tsp. xanthan gum. Sift together three times. Then I use it just as I would all-purpose flour in quick breads, cookies, cakes, etc. Sometimes I have to adjust the liquid a tiny bit, but usually it works just fine. When you start getting into trickier things like pizza dough, you need to add some bean flour and more tapioca flour (at least, in my recipe), but this basic recipe will get you started. I much prefer to bake out of my Betty Crocker cookbook using "regular" recipes than trying to follow 27 steps in a "special" gluten-free recipe.

Can I use plain old rice flour in something like gravy? Or do I always need to use a mix of flours?

Yes you can use rice flour in gravy. I've had great luck doing that.

Yep, I use white rice flour in gravy and it turns out great!

Great to know! now I just have to find time to buy rice flour. ;)

I went to a store today, but the store offering the free turkey if I spend $300 in a month didn't carry rice flour. I was $17 short for the free turkey after Friday's shopping so I went today to get a few more items so I could get my turkey. It's just that I would have gone to a different store with a different selection if I wasn't going for the promotion.

You can use plain old cornstarch for gravy until you get the rice flour :)

Well, then I'd need to go to a store and buy some cornstarch. ;)

I do have potato starch in the house, but I'm not 100% sure it hasnt' been contaminated by wheat flour in the past. I've had that can a VERY long time.

"Never officially diagnosed with Celiac, but won't ever go back to gluten again!"

Amen to that! Me either, and I won't put myself through that torture.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Aussie Celiac · Posted

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
