I was perusing our local asian market yesterday and found sweet potato starch. Has anyone used this in place of regular potato starch? TIA!

Since the starch in sweet potato is different from that of ordinary white potato, I'd think it would behave somewhat differently. However, that's not to say it can't be used. It might just boil down to preference.

Guess someone will have to be the guinea pig, try it in baking, and let us know how it turned out. I'm supposed to be allergic to white potatoes, but not sweet potatoes. I love sweet potatoes. You are fortunate to live near an Asian market.

I'm also intolerant to nightshade vegetables, which included the potato. I sub arrowroot for potato starch in recipes. I have been looking at the bags of sweet potato starch and wondering how I can incorporate it into my baking. Hmmm.

My chef used sweet potato flour when we hosted a gluten free dinner last fall. He made them into ravioli. Didn't get to try them because of the dairy. Everyone liked the taste, said it was kinda nutty flavored perfect for fall.

I've only used the flour, but according to many posts on this board, it seems starches are more interchangeable than flours. I'd have to guess it'll probably work fine, though you may need to tweak something slightly.

:P I too am interested in using sweet potato flour - Found a recipe at http://milkforthemorningcake.blogspot.com/...tta-breads.html

and tried it - Sweet potato pitta breads - both of us liked it. The recipe calls for both cooked sweet potato and the flour as well. I didn't have any flour so i subsituted corn starch for the sweet potato flour and used brown sugar instead of date sugar. I did not expect them to be so small; As far as the recipe i read rolling it to 3/4 inch thickness but I would try it thinner next time as thin as I could up to1/4 or 3/8 thickness if possible. Although they turned out great keep in mind this recipe as followed creates sweet potato pitta minis. I am going to try to find the flour and work with it and put it in this recipe again. Personally sweet potato recipes I have made have all turned out great and is so easy to wash and nuke a potato and then just peel off the skin if your in a hurry. i am going to try it in a pizza dough soon- we'll see how it turns out!

I find Sweet Potato Flour at the Asian Market along with other vegetable flours like Mung bean and even Green Bean Starch flour....

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      I wonder why they put dextrose in it?

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - Many new celiacs report that they can go gluten-free, with the exception of giving up beer. That seems to be a bridge too far from many celiacs, and may be why nearly 20% cheat on their diets:

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those with celiac disease we know that there is a huge range in sensitivity, for example we've had many members here who report that even smelling wheat bread cooking in a bakery, for example a bakery in a supermarket, triggers an immediate gluten reaction that can last days or longer. Is there science to back this up--not that I've seen. Does this mean that it can't happen? Since it does seem to happen to some people, I can't say that there isn't something real happening to these folks.  Similarly there seems to be celiacs who can drink even regular beers, many of which have detectable gluten at under 20ppm, without issues, and many drink gluten reduced beers made from barley on a daily basis without issues, and without elevated antibodies or damaged villi. I also know that some celiacs report getting very sick from a single sip of gluten reduced beer. To be on the safe side it's probably best to stick with a naturally gluten-free beer, however, many of them lack the real beer taste, thus, some celiacs cheat on their diets and just drink regular beer. In this case I think having a choice is important, and drinking a gluten reduced option would be better than regular beer.

      Actually, gluten intolerance and celiac disease are not the same. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, while gluten intolerance is a broader term that can include Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). NCGS involves gluten-related symptoms without the autoimmune or allergic response seen in celiac disease. The terms are often used inconsistently, which can cause confusion.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given the nefarious nature of celiac disease and how it strips nutrients from your body, I believe we've seen virtually every type of abdominal pain here described as a symptom. In my case it was mostly in my lower right quadrant. While gluten intolerance or celiac disease primarily affects the digestive system, it can sometimes cause referred pain in areas like the left upper quadrant or back due to inflammation or irritation in the gut. However, left-sided pain and elevated lipase levels could also indicate other conditions, such as pancreatic issues, which should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Gluten itself is not typically known to directly irritate the pancreas, but if you suspect a connection, it’s worth discussing with your doctor. They may recommend further testing, such as imaging or additional blood work, to rule out other causes. Others in gluten-sensitive communities have occasionally reported similar symptoms, but individual experiences can vary widely. Keeping a detailed food and symptom diary might help identify patterns.
