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.

hmm, interesting. i'm potato intolerant, i might have to look for this to try in some recipes that call for potato starch.

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....

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By Celiacandme · Posted

      Keep us posted on your results. I hope you don't have to wait too long. Are you planning to have your son tested? Do you feel your father might get tested? Wishing you all better health.🍀

      Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks before your blood test? If not, you can end up with false negative results. Feel free to share your blood test results--were your antibody levels elevated at all?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. If your biopsy ends up negative you still may want to go gluten-free for a few months to see if your symptoms go away. Also, be sure to eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks leading up to your endoscopy, otherwise you could get false negative results.

      Enegy level extremely low

      It's difficult to say exactly why, but it is worth discussing this with your doctor, as it can by a symptom of other things--especially if you're also losing weight.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Hi I finally visited with the Dr today and she ordered labs to be done. Not just for celiac disease but about 7 blood tests in total including iron levels. I’m 30 years old.  My symptoms are  -Chronic diarrhea. In the last month and I half I had it multiple times a day, everyday. Pretty often occurrences  before I really started paying attention.  -frequent headaches  -fatigue -had my appendix removed 1 year ago due to appendicitis (not sure if this is related) -frequent stomach rumbling and gas -sleep disturbances-waking up multiple times a night (3-5 times a night) -severe restless leg syndrome  -generally just don’t feel well on a daily basis -hands and feet get cold very easily tingly feet -anxiety/depression/mood swings/irritability . I take medication for bipolar disorder and anxiety but still have anxiety  -sometimes get acid reflux. And sometimes it’s really bad. Like wake up choking on vomit thinking I’m gonna die bad.  My son is 6 and has excema, is anemic, is on 2nd percentile for growth, gets constipated, and is at risk of having seizures… My Dad was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis as a kid 50 years ago, and has a non alcoholic fatty liver, is anemic, and is fatigued.    I’ll post my results as soon as I get them. To be honest I’m hoping it is celiac disease as it could explain so many things I’m dealing with.

      Welcome to the forum, @mariamccl! It is outrageous that you have to wait so long for a GI appointment! I assume you are in the UK from your use of "mum" for your mother. That is par for the course I understand in the current UK medical system. I am glad you went private concerning the camera. Will this also include a biopsy of the small bowel lining?
