gluten-free Baking Soda & Powder?


doodle

Recommended Posts

I am getting conflicting advice about the use of "ordinary" baking soda and baking powder.

Some of my customers say they use plain old regular off the shelf for both of these ingredients and some say they have to use special gluten-free baking soda & powder.

What are your preferred brands and components of each?

BTW, remember I'm in Canada eh? :lol:

thanks, doodle

PS.- riceguy that was a great post about the flour info. just what I needed to confirm my existing research

I'm sure there are some brands which are more prone to CC than others, though I've not read anything suggesting to avoid any particular brands. Then there are individuals who can't tolerate the corn starch, so they get one of the others, made with potato starch or something.

Here's my experience with baking powder:

BTW, watch for updates on the flour info, I'm hoping in about a week or so.

Thanks RiceGuy. As always a great help for the semi-informed like me.

I do have & use the (50 lb bag :D ) gluten free baking powder but I have to check a few issues you mentioned in your above linked post.

It was the baking soda that I was actually more concerned with b/c I was not aware that there was such a thing.

I was hoping to see if anyone had had any bad experiences with off the shelf baking soda so I would know if I had to keep searching or not.

While I've never heard of gluten in baking soda, I did find that using baking soda whenever there was any bean flour in the recipe, caused some sort of chemical reaction. The dough would almost immediately begin to give off a foul smell, like the bean flour had instantly gone terribly rancid. And the taste...forget about it! I believe it behaved essentially like what chemists would refer to as an oxidizer. Anyway, I would like to think that all baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, but then again, I have a hard time accepting that all brands would do that to bean flour.

One of these days, I'll try Arm & Hammer and see if it does the same thing.

      Yes, this sounds right. Let us know when you find out your results.

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori  infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?
