Can Potateo Flour Be Used As Direct Sub For Wheat?

This summer we will be staying with my sister in law who is allergic to both rice and corn, and we are trying to figure out what we can make for bread/etc while we are there. With Rice, corn and wheat all being out, any suggestion? Maybe use just potateo flour as a direct sub for wheat?

Any other suggestions?

I can't give you a direct substitute or recipe but you definitely do not want to use potato flour as a one-for-one sub. For one thing, I don't think you'd like the taste.

Are you saying I can make a mix of those items in equal quanties, and then I can just sub it for flour?

I recently used potato flour to make a white sauce (butter, flour, milk) and it was very good. The flour required was a small amount, so I'm not sure about substituting it for something as substantial as bread.

Bette Hagman's recipe for a good flour is not equal parts. Not sure what the amounts are as I don't have the book in front of me... but I do know there's a "recipe" for her usual flour.

I think it would be too light to sub 1:1 for wheat flour.

Maybe I am trying to hard. Just stumbled on "Mana form Anna" in another therad here, and found a mix on thier site Open Original Shared Link with the following indgredients:

Tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, chickpea flour, navy bean flour, pinto bean flour, sorghum flour, potato starch, MontinaTM (Indian rice grass also named perennial bunch grass, achnatherum hymnodies), maple sugar, xanthan gum, salt, gluten free yeast.

I dont see any Rice, Corn or gluten in that. If that actully tastes good, I could just order that mix and us that in place of any bread products, and use the above mentioned "Bette Hagman's recipe" for any flouring type things (IE Nuggets, etc)

Man, at least the diabetic is not travling with us, that might make food plans completly impossible! :mellow:

I use sorghum flour for breading chicken for frying, etc. It works really well too. :)

there are a lot of non-rice, non-corn, non-gluten flours including:

sorgum (may have cross reactivity with corn, so test carefully)

millet

quinoa

bean (many types)

amaranth

soy

nut (many types)

tapioca

There's a real good recipe for chicken nuggets that you can make and freeze so you can always have for kids that in the Special Diets for Special Kids book. I'll look and see if I made a copy. Betty Hagman has the best recipe books for people with gluten, dairy and nut intolerances. If one of the ingredients will not work for you then she'll put what to substitute it with.

I'm a HUGE fan of Manna from Anna bread mix. I make it in English muffin rounds and have awesome rolls for sandwiches. It holds up better than any other bread I've tried!

Manna From Anna is wonderful, it tastes and "feels"just like wheat bread. If you like wheat bread, you will love this.

You cannot directly substitute any one gluten-free flour for wheat, you must use a blend and don't forget the xanthan gum!!

I highly recommend (and I know celiac3270 will probably second this) that you visit another message board. It's at www.delphiforums.com, in the sidebar click on Health & Wellness and you will see Celiac Disease Support Group come up. There is a WEALTH of cooking and baking knowledge in there that I've seen nowhere else. I am quite positive there is someone in there with exactly the mix you are looking for.

Hey VydorScope,

Here's a great recipe that I love and you can freeze. It comes out really crispy and delicious. I got it out of Roben Ryberg's Gluten Free Kitchen book.

Fried Chicken/Nuggets

1 frying chicken 2 1/2 - 3 pounds

1/2 cup cornstarch - Substitute with other flour for your sister-in-law

1/2 cup potato starch

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon xantham gum

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)

For Frying

2 cups oil

Rinse chicken & set aside. Place remaining ingredients into large freezer bag or paper bag. Shake to mix well.

Heat oil in frying pan to 375 degrees

One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag and coat well with flour mixture. Press flour mixture firmly onto chicken if needed.

Place coated chicken into frying pan. Repeat for remaining pieces of chicken. Fry on each side for approximately 15 minutes. No pink should be seen in the meat; or, if you have a meat thermometer, the chicken should reach a temperature of 185 degrees.

Alternatively, chicken may be deep fried for approximately 20 minutes.

I'll add to this. If your child, like my child, he really loves McDonald's chicken nuggets. Melonie from a couple other sites I am on posted a great recipe, and low and behold it IS just like McDonald's!! It's simply crushed plain potato chips (I toss mine in the food processor and crush 'em up good) and GROUND chicken (like hamburger) DO NOT use ground turkey, it doesn't work for some reason.

Anyway, I make little balls out of the ground chicken, roll it in egg (or anything that will make it stick) and then in the crushed chips...then I put them on a baking sheet, flatten it like a nugget, and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Walla. I can't keep these suckers in the house!

Do you cook the chicken before grinding? And how do you grind it, you have some kind of grinder?

It's not precooked. I buy it already ground (it's pre-packaged in the meat section of our grocery store...right with the ground turkey and the hamburger usually...but I do know others who just have the butcher at the grocery store grind up some chicken breasts for them.)

Yes, they're so good. I haven't ground the chicken, but I just roll the egg and potato chips. Will have to try it ground, but any way you do it, it tastes great. Be forewarned: it looks very strange, possibly unappetizing the first time...once you know what they taste like, though, you really don't care :lol::D

I just bolded the time and temp for you, Vincent (from Bridget's post)

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

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      On my Celiac journey and discovered I was also reacting to other types of gluten. The FDA in it's finite wisdom only classifies 'wheat, barley and rye' as the gluten's to be considered when a company tests for and stamps their products as gluten free. I am curious as to how many of you are aware of the other types of glutens? And another question to those on a 'traditional' gluten free diet , who are also still sick and struggling, are you also reacting to these other types of gluten as listed below? NOTE:  The new movement if you want to call it that, is now called 'grain free' and that is the true definition of gluten free. I no longer suffer with ataxia, confusion, anxiety, depression, OCD, Insomnia, ADD, acid reflux, dermatitis herpetiformis, migraines, headaches, and weight issues all due to going 'grain free'. I hope to reach as many of you out there that are still struggling and unaware of what might be setting you off such as my most recent glutening was from a vegan supplement that contained 'magnesium sterate' and 'glucose syrup' both of which are from Zien (zane) gluten at 55%. I was covered in sores that were bleeding, I was seeing squigly lines when I was trying to drive, had acid reflux, insomnia, and nightmares all from the gluten in Corn. Here are the other types of glutens that Celiacs and Gluten Intolerant people also react to: Wheat -Alpha Gliadin Gluten- 69% Rye - Secalinin gluten-30-50% Oats-Avenin gluten -16% Barley-Hordein Gluten -46-52% Millet-Panicin Gluten-40% Corn-Zien Gluten -55% Rice-Orzenin Gluten-5% Sorghum-Kafirin gluten-52% and Teff-Penniseiten Gluten 11%.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention again that IF thimerosal is used in a flu vaccine the amount of ethylmercury in a single vaccine dose would be extremely small, typically around 25 micrograms (µg) or less. For context, this is much lower than the levels of methylmercury found in some seafood. Ethylmercury is metabolized and excreted from the body much faster than methylmercury. Its half-life in the blood is about 7 days, compared to methylmercury, which can persist for months. The dose of ethylmercury in vaccines is far below the threshold known to cause toxicity so would not require chelation.

      Vaccines

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If you have poor reactions to vaccines, preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals, you may be deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine is needed in the immune response and production of antibodies.  Thiamine can be depleted by vaccines if you are already low to begin with due to the Malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  Thiamine can be destroyed by sulfide preservatives in vaccines, which can result in the body's poor response to vaccines.  Thiamine also chelates metals which allows those metals to be removed in the feces.  Chelation removes thiamine from the body, resulting in a state of thiamine deficiency.  Sugar alcohols need to be processed through the liver using thiamine.  Again, if you're low in thiamine as many Celiac are because of the Malabsorption of celiac disease, vaccines can be a tipping point, resulting in a thiamine deficient state. High doses of Thiamine required to correct thiamine deficiency states are safe and nontoxic.  Thiamine has no toxicity level.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact together to sustain health.   References: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25542071/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Pasballard, Keep in mind those gluten free processed snacks are not required to have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing products.   We need the eight essential B vitamins to turn those carbs into energy to fuel our bodies and make enzymes that sustain life.  Sudden weight gain (or weight loss) can be symptomatic of Thiamine Vitamin B1 deficiency.  Thiamine is the B vitamin with the shortest storage time, and so  thiamine deficiency shows up first with vague symptoms like weight gain or loss, fatigue, not sleeping well, achy or cramping muscles, digestive issues and headaches.   Taking vitamin and mineral supplements helps boost your body's ability to absorb these nutrients which keeps our bodies healthy.  B Complex vitamins and Vitamin D (which regulates inflammation) are usually low in people with Celiac disease.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @WildFlower1, Here's an article that explains about the updated gluten challenge guidelines.  Be sure to read the comments below the article. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Low iron can affect antibody production, causing false negatives on antibody testing.  Do you currently struggle with low iron?   Low Vitamin D can cause amenorrhea, cessation of menstrual periods.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies is a big part of Celiac disease.  We don't absorb well the eight essential B vitamins and other vitamins and minerals like calcium, resulting in osteopenia, hair loss, infertility, and neurological symptoms.  Unfortunately, doctors are not given much training in nutritional deficiencies and don't recognize the connection with the malabsorption of Celiac disease. We get very frustrated here with doctors ordering us to put a harmful substance in our bodies in order for them to say "that makes you sick".   Duh, we know that already. Do try to increase your consumption of gluten for at least two weeks before retesting.  Eat the chewy kinds of breads.  Cookies and cakes don't have as much gluten in them as those chewy artisan breads and thick pizza crusts. I admire your tenacity at continuing the gluten challenge.  Do keep us posted on your progress.  We'll continue to support you on your journey to diagnosis and recovery.
