Ok, here is the greatest news in the world... A new health shop opened in my area, and they are willing to order ANYTHING for me - i just have to name it!!! I am in seventh heaven :D:D:D

I don't want them to order any ready made stuff, coz most have soya in it, and i don't yet know how much i can trust them to check those things out, so really i want them to order flour. Problem is, i don't know which ones - they have whole rice, white rice, tapioca, and chickpea. Is there any thing that you can think of, off hand? Thanks

Sorghum and coconut flour are some good choices.

Sweet rice flour, brown rice flour, potato starch and of course xanthan gum to go with those flours.

Better Batter Gluten Free Flour - a mix of flours, so you don't have to use individual flours, acts as a one-to-one replacement, and already has the right amount of xanthan gum mixed in.

Question, does Better Batter flour have rice or sorghum or both in it? Our store only carries Bob's Red Mill brand flours and small bags of Pamela's. I prefer a sorghum mix or sorghum/rice mix rather than rice by itself. A premade mix would be sooo much faster! Thanks!!

It might be good to look at some recipes - here on the board in the baking forum, or gluten-free cookbooks (our library has several) and see what looks good to you and what flours they call for.

For those interested in the flour I use: Open Original Shared Link

For the ingredients: Open Original Shared Link

Other info on the website includes how to order online, where to buy in person, and wholesale information.

I use this for all my recipes - no more "multiple flours." :):):)

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The only issue with that approach, is that some restaurants may not want to serve you--if you say you get violently ill, or have a deadly allergy, etc.--remember, at least here in California, businesses can decline to serve you.

      @llisa, have you also been diagnosed with celiac disease? You don't actually say but we have assumed that.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By llisa · Posted

      I had bariatric surgery in 2018. My doctor put me on multiple vitamins, D3, and calcium (in the form of 2 Tums daily). My endocrinologist monitors my levels of these things, as well as my diabetes and Hashimoto's.

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?
