I found an unopened package of Orgran's Self-Raising Flour and now I want to try it and don't know if it would be okay because it was due dated for February 25th or something. Would anyone have any idea baout whether it would be okay to try.

also if anyone has used this before what did you use it for? how did it turn out? any tips or recommendations or recipes?

I don't think the date should be must of a problem. But, I buy pastas and mixes when I need to use them. Some get buggy.

I would use it if unopened. Obviously, if it smells off or anything then discard, but other than that it should still be fine.

My son is studying for his Masters in Bakery, one of his recent test papers was to make

2 loaves of Gluten free Bread.

.

One was from a mix expiry July 2009, the other was from a mix expiry Dec 2008,

A lab study was carried out on both breads.

.

The results for the bread made from the Out of Date Mix Dec 2008. was

exactly the same as the bread from the in date mix.

.

On a taste test no difference was detected.

.

Our Parents never poisoned us prior to date stamping. ??

.

Best Regards,

David

thanks all! i know that for regular mixes they would still be good after the date but i wasn't sure about gluten-free mixes because i have read they typically have a shorter shelf life. i plan on baking with it tomorrow after i find a good recipe:) while hubby is away working with friends. maybe i will have a good treat to take to him!

as always, good tips or recipes are welcome

Some companies are more conservative about expiry dates than others. I guess I'd smell the flour, and if it doesn't smell right, toss it. Flours with relatively high protein content tend to spoil more quickly. These include bean flours, nut flours, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa, and teff. I've found amaranth really doesn't stay fresh very long, regardless of the date on the package.

Also, if the flour has been kept in a cool, dark place, it has a better chance of still being ok.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      I'm a little confused. In your second post you said, "but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy" while in your most recent post you say, "I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea...

      They did. I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related. I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free...

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      Did the symptoms commence after you discontinued the AIP diet? Have you checked all nutritional supplements and oral hygiene products for possible gluten content? Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did...

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again?

      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's. Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?

However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea." CBC = Complete Blood Count. This is the typical bloodwork most people would have done routinely with an annual wellness checkup. I would include things like iron levels, various blood cell counts including reds and whites and other infection fighters. CMP = Complete Metabolic Panel. This would measure things like blood sugar, kidney...

However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related.  I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free and trying to stay away from corn starch etc. However, I am eating gluten free breads that sometimes have rice flour, yeast, etc. - I seem to do fine with these breads/bread products some days, but then am sick other days.  I have never really had any GI symptoms outside of bloating. My symptoms are dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of...

Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did you have GI symptoms or were you a "silent" celiac whose symptoms were non GI. Is what you are experiencing now like what you were experiencing at the time of diagnosis? Have you had recent blood work done (CBC and CMP) and if so, were there any parameters out of norm? I know you have Hashimoto's but you say that is...
