After Having a Miscarrrage 2 years back I developed  Endometriosis which has caused my digestive system to go out of wack. I am unable to digest certain proteins: Wheat, Corn and Rice. When I eat food containing these things( Even as a preservative) I have head pressure, head achs, hives and swelling in the stomach and ovaries. This makes it hard to go out to eat anywhere  or buy most things at the grocery story because most things contain Corn syrup/starch wheat or rice. 

I have found that I can have 1 Grain: Oats

I've read that Tapioca Flour  can be used to make breads but I haven't been able to get the bread to rise. It always turns out like (Gummie candy looking stuff on the inside).

Is their something that I can do to turn Tapioca Flour Into Bread?????

Or is there a bread recipe you know of that contains no: Wheat, Corn or Rice 

I've tried Rye Bread but it's flakey hard and breaks easy. Also the taste isn't very good.

Maybe something with one of the fallowing flours...

.Tapioca Flour

.Almond Flour

.Oat Flour

.Soy Flour

.Potato Flour

If anyone has a recipe I could try or any suggestions please let me know. :)

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of mills that sell their organic products retail in reasonable sizes.  I am looking for a variety of organic flours and whole and cracked grains, as well as meals.  My son has a life-threatening allergy to nuts, and most flours I've found so far are either processed or packaged witn nuts, or both.  I cannot buy from bulk bins as the risk of cross-contamination with nuts (through poorly cleaned bins and customers using wrong scoops) is too high.  Therefore, I have been looking to buy directly from mills, so I am sure that the products are nut-safe.  A lot of them will only sell in 25 pound bags and more, which is OK for some products, but many products I need to buy in smaller quantities (1- 5 lbs).

I have been buying from http://dakota-prairie.com, which is a mill that sells wonderful organic flours retail, but they do not have any whole/cracked grains.  I found Anson Mills, Great River Organic Milling and Bluebird Grain Farms today, but again, they do not have most of the things I am looking for.  If you know of any mills that sells organic products retail by phone or on-line, please please let me know.

I live in Massachusetts, where, unfortunately, grains are generally not grown and/or milled.  All the organic brands available here (Arrowhead Mills, Bob's Red Mill, King Arthur except for 5-lb bags) are not nut-safe.

Best wishes and thank you in advance for your advice,

Hi All,

A number of weeks ago I promised to share my gluten free sourdough bread recipe. It's finally ready for you. This recipe is suitable for people with a multitude of allergies, gluten, dairy, egg, soy, corn, and yeast and sensitive digestive systems. I know most of you are eating wheat and rye with delight but most people know someone who is gluten intolerant and who would love to be able to bake their own gluten free sourdough bread. I have posted 3 recipes on my blog, the actual bread recipe, the starter recipe and the booster recipe (what's a booster?) I have found in my 3 years of experimenting that for a gluten free starter to be very dependable it needs something to boost the bacteria and yeast growth. I have found a wonderful fermented drink called Water Kefir, that does the trick nicely.

Please take a look at my blog or forward the info to someone who would appreciate it. http://glutenfreesourdough.blogspot.com/2009/03/gluten-free-dairy-free-sourdough-bread.html

Thanks and let me know if you have questions or comments.

PS I love all the interesting posts on this site. People's successes and failures help me to develop even more gluten free recipes.
