Is there any flour I can use to substitute for tapioca flour? I am using it in a "mix" It's supposed to be part brown rice flour part corn starch part potato flour and part tapioca flour... Problem is I cant find the tapioca flour at my local markets anymore.. I am waiting to order some online but it wont be here for a month. Any one know of a ample substitution for it?

From what I have read, all the starches are interchangeable. If I didn't have what the recipe called for I would sub another starch. Potato starch and potato flour are not the same thing but tapioca starch and tapioca flour are the same thing. Try subbing 1/2 cornstarch and 1/2 potato starch(not flour) or sub all cornstarch. There is also arrowroot starch and amaranth starch, I have never used them.

From Carol Fenster: Tapioca flour helps browning and makes a crispier crust and a chewy texture...used in a similar manner as arrowroot.

Not sure if you're still reading, Christa, but check out your local Asian market for tapioca starch/flour. I picked some up last night - ~ 14 oz box for 99 cents. Also got some rice noodles ($1.49), sweet rice flour (99 cents), and vietnamese crepe mix ($1.29).

I think sweet white rice flour might also work in place of tapioca flour. However, each type of starchy flour tends to impart its own unique texture, so it's probably just as much a matter of preference as it is viability. In the baking experiments I've done, sweet white rice flour seemed to work a little better for what I was trying to get.

      ome value? Is that a typo? I don't see that on any of the test results you post and I've never heard of that one.

      Thanks for the update! It’s great that your GI is being thorough with the follow-up testing—hopefully the endoscopy will give you clearer answers. The EPI diagnosis is interesting; I’ve read that celiac can sometimes lead to pancreatic issues like EPI due to long-term malabsorption or autoimmune overlap. Have they mentioned if your EPI might improve with a gluten-free diet if celiac is confirmed? Wishing you smooth sailing with the endoscopy tomorrow—let us know how it goes.

      Hi again! I just wanted to update here that the GI redid my bloodwork and the ome value is still high so I'm having an endoscopy tomorrow. I also got diagnosed with EPI which seems to possibly be linked to celiac according to Google.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      Reishi and cordyceps are immune modulators, they stop you reacting so much/producing antibodies to lectins. Uptake is better when taken as a tincture, you can buy it pre made as a tincture, usually vodka based, or make your own which is much cheaper. You can find instructions online, basically powdered mushrooms soaked in strong alcohol for a month, shaking regularly. Then the strained mushrooms are heated gently in water for 8 hours, strained again and the water then combined with the first alcohol extract. Some of the properties are water soluble, others require alcohol for extraction. It’s also prescribed for fatigue which is a side effect I’m happy to put up with.

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. Fructose derived from corn is toxic to the liver and contributes to severe health issues. Corn syrup has mercury in it. The list can go on and on and on… Many consumers bow to the alter of “Gluten Free” packaged foods as if the label is a safety net. “Gluten Free” on the package does not mean that the food is healthy. Do not deny yourself the God given right to be healthy.
