Sweet Rice Flour - Brand Name?

Hi all,

Okay. I've finally worked up the nerve to start baking instead of buying mixes. I have searched off and on all week for a posting and cannot find it. A group of kind members had posted the types of flour combinations they use to bake breads, muffins, etc. I found lots of info except one vital tidbit.

What is the brand name of glutinous (sp?) or sweet rice flour folks use and know is gluten-free? I ask because I cannot get this flour at Whole Foods and wanted to try the Asian markets, but want to make sure it's not flour produced on the same line as wheat...

I'm also willing to order online at this point since I worked up the nerve two weeks ago but still haven't found the flour.

Thanks to all the knowledgeable out there. If I could send the hugs of gratitude I have for all your previous posts, patience, and help, I'd fill up your inboxes!

PS I read in a recipe book that sorghum (jowar) flour can be subbed for wheat flour w/o anything else - anyone try this (still need to find that flour too :)

Huh... I thought I've seen it at the whole foods around me. I usually use Ener-G's sweet rice flour which I can get at local health food stores, but I've also used Mochiko's sweet rice flour which can be found at many major chains in the Asian section. (Well, here in CA, but we've got a larger asian and latin food section than some of the other bits of the country I've been to... Whereabouts are you? It might help us identify a place you can find it.)

I use sorgum flour a fair amount, though I don't sub 100% with it.

Hi there, I am in Cary, NC. I even asked a friend who shops at Whole Foods to see if she could find it (just in case I'm missing it) and she didn't either :(

I'll try the asian markets this week. Thank you!

I just started some gluten free baking and bought some Organic Sweet Brown Rice in bulk at a local market. I ground it myself and added it to my mix consisting of regular Organic Brown Rice I had ground previously along with some tapioca flour, millet flower, and quinoa. I bought a grain grinder attachment for my Champion juicer and grind as much as I can myself. I saved 1.27 a pound on the regular Brown Rice flour that way. I just made a batch of Blueberry muffins and they came out great.

I have used both of those brands and been very happy with the results :)

The Koda Farms brand of mochiko (sweet rice or glutinous flour) is usually in Asian stores. It's a white box, 16 oz, with a blue star and the word "Mochiko" in red on the front. Product of USA.

Here's a link to the Koda Farms website: Open Original Shared Link

And they have recipes on their website too!

By the way, in case you didn't know, it is not interchangeable with regular rice flour. It doesn't behave the same way.

so glutinous and sweet rice flour are the same? I found an asian market nearby with some really inexpensive rice flours so that is great to know!

      any advice would be helpful

      @Jane07, welcome to the forum! Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients is common in Celiac Disease.  Supplementing with vitamins and minerals that are commonly low in the newly diagnosed can help immensely with recovery.   Vitamin D is frequently low.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  The eight essential B vitamins help repair and maintain our body's health.  Magnesium, calcium, zinc and other minerals are necessary, too.  Vitamin C helps, as well.  Benfotiamine, A form of Thiamine, has been shown to promote intestinal healing. Are you still consuming dairy?  Eliminating dairy may bring some improvements.  Have you tried the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet?  Developed by a Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, the AIP diet can improve symptoms while healing.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      Welcome to the forum! A blood test for Celiac looks for the amount of antibodies your body is producing in response to gluten.  An endoscopy looks at the damage done by the antibodies attacking the villi lining the intestines.   When you have a cold or infection, antibodies are made that attack the foreign invader.  In Celiac Disease, our immune system recognizes gluten as a foreign invader and launches antibodies against it.  However, the gluten particles resembles the same structural components in our body cells.  As a result, the anti gluten antibodies attack our own cells, causing damage like flattening villi in the intestines and also potentially attacking vital organs like the thyroid, the pancreas, the brain, and the heart.   Gluten itself does not stay in the body for years.  The anti gluten antibodies stay in the body for years.  Our bodies remember gluten and continue making antibodies against gluten which continue to damage our bodies for years.  Eventually, if not triggered by gluten ingestion for two years or longer, our bodies may go into remission and stop producing the antibodies and thus end the inflammation and damage. You should be afraid.  You should be very afraid.  Consuming gluten accidentally or intentionally can start the while cycle over again from the beginning.  And getting to that state of remission again can take years.   A dietician or a nutritionist can advise you on how to start and sustain a gluten free diet while meeting your nutritional requirements.  We need essential vitamins and minerals to heal and maintain our health.  The gluten free diet can be lacking in essential nutrients unless we eat mindfully.  A nutritionist can teach us which foods will help us meet our nutritional requirements, and help us correct nutritional deficiencies with vitamin and mineral supplements.

      @LeeRoy83    Hello again.  Picking up on something else you said re: the shock that you may be a coeliac. It may has come as a shock to learn that coeliac disease is a possibility, but if that is the case, although it can be at times a bit of a nuisance not to be able to eat gluten anymore, it has been my experience that most of my friends and acquaintances who have it have adapted to it well, and are thriving.  Although statistically it affects 1 in a 100 people, I know more than that, strangely, so I can see first hand how the diet can make a big difference for most people. In the UK we are blessed with a wonderful selection of gluten free food on sale in the shops, which seems to be ever-increasing, well labelled food packaging making it easier to determine if food contains gluten, a fabulous charity called Coeliac UK who provide a lot of very helpful information, including a gluten free food app and guide that you can take shopping with you, and good follow-up care provided by the NHS.   But that's for another day - IF you have indeed got Coeliac Disease.   Do meet up with your GP, take a list of questions to ask, and then if he wants you to take the coeliac diagnosis a step forward do let us know if we can be of help  - we can walk with you every step of the way.

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      No. That is, unless the dietician themself has a gluten disorder or is managing a close family member who does and therefore is immersed in it daily so as to be up on the nuances of eating gluten free. Otherwise, they just give you very general information which you can get online.

      Yes, a very cryptic and uninformative lab result report indeed! But it does seem like this is typical for the UK. It's almost like the "professionals" in that healthcare system don't want you to try and figure anything out for yourself.
