ive been told i have a gluten intolerance any one any tips ?

Answer 1

Go to Trader Joe's. They make a few products out of brown rice flour and are gluten free. They have pasta in several shapes at $1.99/pound, and flour tortillas (also gluten free) at $2.29 for a12 ounce bag. Check with a few specialty bakeries to see if they have gluten-free bread.

You can dig through my old answers here to find my gluten free flour mix; ah, heck with it, I haven't posted it in a long time:

4 1/4 C.rice flour
1 C. potato starch
1 C. tapioca starch
1/2 C. cornstarch
1/4 C. xanthan gum

Just mix these ingredients and then you can treat it just like regular all-purpose flour!

You've almost certainly never heard of Xanthan gum before. It just became your new best friend, don't be scared by the name, it's good stuff and your local health food store already has it (and possibly your grocer).

If you need more detailed help just ask!

Edit:

Please take care trying the other grains that folks are suggesting here. While it's true they do *tend* to cause fewer problems than wheat; bad reactions do still occur among some people with gluten intolerance. Check with your doctor before trying them.

Answer 3

Me too! Don't worry, it takes a little bit of effort in the beginning- label reading etc.......but once you get used to certain brands it becomes easier. Be sure to read labels carefully as they hide wheat/gluten in alot of things. Health food stores generally stock alot of gluten free products-brown rice pasta is amazing and you can buy breads made from kamut and spelt which are pretty close to what you are used to! Good luck and you will feel a whole lot better once you make the change!

Answer 4

Avoid anything which contains wheat or yeast, which requires gluten to rise properly. Use rice flour or other non-gluten flours for baking and cooking. I've purchased products from Bobs Red Mill. They have a lot of products and information for gluten-free diets, and they have a website. Good luck.

Answer 5

Yes, you will have to learn to make bread and pasta out of gluten free flours, like potato flour.

You will have to make rice, potatoes, and beans your starches of choice.

There are many many other grains you can learn to love, such as quinoa and amaranth, and there are many gluten free foods that are available at stores, especially health-food stores.

You will feel much better after you can get rid of the gluten in your food.

Answer 6

Either buy or make spelt bread. Spelt is a more ancient type of wheat and although it contains gluten it does not agravate gluten intolerance like regular wheat. Terrence Stamp does a range of wheat free bread and my hubby recomends German Rye bread.
