Oat Flour Bread
Connie rcjazlee@yahoo.com 01/01/05	Did anyone find a good oat-flour bread recipe yet? Please send it my way . . .
mary btough@xcelco.on.ca 12/18/05	Since there is an error on the website, I can't get the oat flour bread recipe. Would someone please E-mail it to me. Many thanks.
ellen 12/18/05	Mary, please email me at the link at the bottom of the page. I want to know what problem you are having. Also, I have not posted an oat flour bread recipe, so I don't know where you were trying to get to. Thanks.
Nancy 10/05/06	Oat flour recipes I have a very good potato-oat bread recipe, and also pizza dough and tortilla recipes with oat flour, if anyone is interested.
ellen 10/13/06	Nancy, if yu email these recipes to me at the contact at the bottom of the page, I will try them and if I post them, you will receive the credit.
Nancy 11/10/06	Oat Bread Oat Bread I use the dough setting on my bread machine. Put liquid ingredients in first, then wet ingredients, and yeast last. Check dough during kneading, and add flour or water as needed. Water 1 1/2 c. Oil 3T Oat flour 2 1/2C Date sugar 1/2C Arrowroot 1/2C Guar gum 1T Salt 1/2 tsp. Active dry yeast 2 1/4 tsp. I use the dough setting on my bread machine, then remove dough & put in bread pan, rise 30 minutes, then bake 50 minutes.
Nancy 11/10/06	Oat Potato Bread Oops. Pushed the wrong button. I'll e-mail the rest.
CL 11/20/06	What was that oat potato bread recipe? And is the Oat Bread recipe posted any good? Please email your response to me, not post it on this site. Thank you.
CL 11/20/06	oops-the email address is mordyybcohen@yahoo.com
ellen 11/21/06	The oat bread recipe worked OK for me, would slice for sandwiches. The oat potato recipe is not here yet.
CL 11/27/06	Was the bread fluffy at all? How do you know if the dough needs additional flour or water-whats it supposed to look like? Please email me at mordyybcohen@yahoo.com
ellen 11/27/06	The reason this is a bread machine bread, is that it is rather batter-ish and not like wheat dough. It worked for me just as it was. All the gluten-free breads are heavier than wheat. For additional help, get Bette Hagman's "the Gluten-free Baker". Most libraries have it.
Susan 12/31/06	Oat Flour recipes I read that someone has oat flour recipes...tortillas, etc.
Nancy 02/21/07	Oat & Barley Recipes Ellen - I have a couple of other Gluten/Wheat/Dairy/Egg/ Soy/Corn and even Yeast free bread & muffin recipes, if you would like them. I don't see your e-mail address, so if you would send it to me, I'll forward some recipes to you. Thanks for the great site. Nancy
gfhgh 05/25/07	Very good site!
ellen 05/26/07	Thanks Nancy, Please use the email contact at the bottom of this page- it says "for updates or questions, etc"
Luann Perry 09/30/07	Do you have any recipes that are wheat, soy, barley, rice and potato free. I have a son that is allergic to all of that and a few other things. I have tried using oat flour and tapioca flour, but I still haven't found a good recipe that a 6 yr. old can use for bread. I hope you can help me, I'm at my wits end.
ellen 09/30/07	Luann, do you use corn totillas for roll up sandwiches, breakfast tacos and griddle pizzas? I will look for you, but this is a pretty forbidding list of exclusions bread-wise.
Mike 11/13/07	Hi guys, Can you send me the website with the wheat/soy/ etc. free stuff. Thanks very much...Or sould you just post the sites?
ellen 11/13/07	The local library's Bette Hagman's Gluten Free Gourmet" series is a very good place to start. Beyond that, try a google search on celiac recipes and be amazed.
Gary Regner 01/05/08	Thank you Ellen. Your site and help are much appreciated. I will get Bette Hagman's book. Again, Thank you
Russ 01/13/08	Hi, I have been looking for oat flour recipes, and found this posting page. There is a meantion of bread pizza & totilla recipes (Nancy). I would love to try these, especially the pizza. Any way I could get that recipe? Russ
Thomas Braun 01/28/08	Have bread making machine and need simple recipe for OAT FLOUR BASED bread w/o using sugar. Trying to get my LDL down and need help. Thanks
Thomas Braun 01/28/08	Just posted my need for a simple recipe for OAT FLOUR BASED Bread using a bread making machine. Can someone help ? My email is: tabraun1@aol.com
ellen 01/29/08	Russ, Thomas, do look at the Hagman baking book mentioned above. Thomas, good luck- you might also try the Orowheat double fiber bread, really good toast and the fiber moves cholesterol containing foods through the gut faster, therefore, less is absorbed (same effect as the oatbran).
Laurel 03/03/08	I invented a oat flour crepe/tortilla recipe out of desperation. We are doing an elimination diet and I needed a starch. 2 cups oat flour 2 TBSP oil 3/4 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp salt a piece of hand pureed banana about the size of an egg, or an egg. Enough water to make a thin batter, much thinner than pancake batter. Cook in a oiled pan like crepes. Be sure to oil both sides of crepe. It improves the flavor. You may want to up the salt amount if you use banana as a binder, unless you want a sweet crepe/tortilla. By the way, the banana worked great to bind it all together. I've heard that other dried fruits work well as a binder also. It really needed the binder.
ellen 03/03/08	Thank you VERY much.
Kathie Eberhart 03/09/08	Nancy - can you post the Oat Potato Bread recipe - thanks very much.
barbara humphrey 03/10/08	could you please email me the oat flour bread recipe. Thank you Barb

dianne 05/07/08	I also would be interested in an oat flour bread recipe. I am diabetic so I am looking for reasonable glycemic index type of thing and I will be throwing some flax seed in as well. could someone email one to me? Wheat free? thanks
Dianne Gariepy 05/07/08	oh forgot I don't have a bread machine!
ellen 05/08/08	Dianne, you really need a bread machine to do gluten free loaves. Look at breadman and zojirushi with a gluten-free setting on EBay. I am also diabetic, and I find the new Orowheat double fiber is very easy on my system and makes great crispy toast.
Dawneen 05/10/08	I would love the gluten and oat bread recipes. I really appreciate that you took the time to post these!
Billie 10/04/08	I can not get the Guar gum where I am - is there any substitute? Wouold appreciate any recipes that exclude wheat, gluten etc. Thanks
ellen 10/05/08	No good substitute. You can order online, and some pharmacies will order it.
Amy 11/20/08	Oat Flour Pizza dough Can anyone send me a recipe for oat flour pizza dough? I'm assuming you can't use just oat flour but don't know what else to add in. I am wheat free for 6 weeks and sure could go for some pizza! Thanks
ellen 11/20/08	The oat flour crepe/tortilla can make a fair mini pizza if rolled a bit thicker before cooking.
Jenni 02/06/09	WANTED: OAT FLOUR based, wheat-free, simple, bread machine recipe where I can just pour the ingredients into my bread machine, walk away (go to work) and come home to bread--what I got the machine for! Is this possible?!?! WANTED: the baking science behind why oat flour on its own isn't a straight substitute for wheat flour (I expect the lack of gluten needs a binder, but don't know in detail) so that I and other interested folks can create yummy bread without wheat flour and WITH ease!!!
ellen 02/06/09	Jenni, my gluten free friends tell me that the gluten free bread mixes from Whole Foods are easy to use and good tasting. There is a gluten free cook who does her bread in the CROCK POT with great success: crockpot365.blogspot.com/search/label/baking This is a great site for all kinds of gluten free recipes. You can also check out Bette Hagman's gluten free cooking and baking books from your library. As to why you can't bake easily with all oat flour: to rise, the goods have to be able to trap air in little bubbles that hold. Gluten makes these nice stretchy bubbles. If you don't have gluten, you need some nice stretchy gum, which is why you see guar gum or xanthan in gluten-free recipes. Also, you need one of these stretchy things to hold it together and make it "chew" like regular bread. Otherwise the texture is like a biscuit crumbly.
Dawn zimmermann 04/30/09	Hi, good evening. I'm really looking for a yeast free/wheat free oat bread...dunno if it exists at all...I'm on a candida diet and getting really tired of rice cakes :o) I'd be grateful to recieve a recipe. kind regards Dawn
ellen 04/30/09	Sorry Dawn, but that does not exist in my recipe box. Do try the oat tortillas above for a change. Ellen
robin 07/27/09	I have gluten problems and need an easy bread recipe using oat flour. Also I have a tortilla press so a recipe using oat flour to make those would be very helpful. If anyone has either of these, would you care to email them to me? Thanks and have a great day! Robin
ellen 07/27/09	Robin, the tortilla recipe is already [posted on this thread. Whole Foods makes a gluten free sandwich bread mix that can be baked in a crockpot, so simple, link is also posted on this thread.
Brigid 07/29/09	Does the oat bread absolutely have to be made in a bread machine? i am in serious need of recipes without wheat, potato, soy, corn or xantham gum, I think that guar is ok. My son was just recently diagnosed with allergies to all of those grains. He does not however, have a gluten allergy. Can maple sugar be used instead of date sugar? He is allergic to cane, haven't tested him for date. The other recipe looked good, but he is also allergic to banana.
ellen 07/29/09	A bread machine is a BIG help with the non-gluten breads, because the doughs don't tolerate handling like yeast breads do. You can often get a very good but on one at a garage or moving sale, or on Craigs list. Maple sugar should be fine, but also look into honey, agave syrup and the other liquid sweeteners.
sherry 07/31/09	Oat Flour recipes I am interested in any good recipes using oat flour. Love to hear from anyone!
judy friddle 09/02/09	please send me the oat bread recipe.Thanks so much
ellen 09/03/09	We don't have a good recipe for any 100% oatmeal bread except some traditional Scottish griddle bread (very flat).
becky 09/08/09	does anyone have oat flour, buckwheat,or potato recipes that are free of yeast, eggs, soy, dairy ?
Jerry 09/17/09	Thaks to all, took your ideas and added 1 mushed banana to white bread recipe for my Bread Machine and walked away, Loaf feels heavy but tastes light. Hope you like it. P.S. It might be even better if honey was substituted for the Raw Sugar
mike 09/26/09	I'm in need of a good oat flour bread with no other flours added. I need it for a bread maker.
ellen 09/26/09	Single flour oat doughs don't rise, not likely candidates for bread makers.
Saras 10/03/09	Oat Flour Roti Could someone let me know how to make a dough for Indian roti or chapati please. saras
ellen 10/03/09	Try the oatmeal tortillas on this thread, but what they won't do is puff as they bake.
eric 01/08/10	Could someone - anyone - please send me a recipe for oat flour bread made in a bread machine? Many thanks eric
ellen 01/08/10	Eric, so far nobody has one...
maxine 02/06/10	Can someone post the oat potato bread recipe that was mentioned. Thanks.
Barb 02/13/10	Gluten Free Low - Carb Apple Oat Muffin Recipe Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 16 minutes Ingredients: 2 cups freshly ground certified gluten free oatmeal (rolled oats) 2 teaspoons gluten free baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 1/4 cup plain, gluten free yogurt 1/2 cup good quality 100% apple juice 2 lightly beaten large eggs plus one egg white 4 tablespoons light olive oil OR canola oil 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup shredded apple (about one large apple - do not peel the apple) 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to sprinkle on muffins (optional) Preparation: Preheat oven to 350° Use a clean coffee bean grinder to process 2 cups of certified gluten free oats into oat flour. Depending on the size of your grinder, you may have to do this in batches. Place oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Whisk to blend. Lightly beat eggs in a small bowl. Add yogurt, apple juice, oil and vanilla. Whisk to blend and pour into bowl with dry ingredients. Stir to thoroughly blend. Fold in shredded apple and walnuts. Stir just until blended. Line muffin pan with paper liners, or lightly grease pan and fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of muffin comes out clean. Sprinkle hot muffins with cinnamon sugar mixture and allow muffins to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Tip: Use a cheese grater to shred apple
ellen 02/13/10	Thanks, Barb.
ellen 02/13/10	Barbara recommends this celiac site: www.cookingbread.com/gluten_free.html
Kathy 03/14/10	I am looking for an oat flour recipe for a bread machine. I do not want any other type of flour mixed in. I also like to add: sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds and poppy seeds. If I dont use a 1 to 3 ratio of oat flour to wheat flour it doesnt rise! Please help.
Kathy 03/14/10	Sorry- i forgot email address nakacc@aol.com
ellen 03/14/10	Kathy, oat flour alone will not rise, it has no natural gluten and cannot trap the air bubbles. See the gluten free sites recommended for possible additions, (guar gum, xanthan gum) that will mimic the gluten and give a rising potential.
ellen 03/14/10	Here is a tasty oat muffin recipe off site: glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2008/05/blueberry-oat-muffins.html
beckie 04/09/10	I have been looking high and low for an oat flour bread recipe. The closest substitution to whole wheat (using oat flour) that I've found so far is this combination of flours: 2 parts br. rice flour 2 parts oat flour 1 part buckwheat flour You can also add flax meal by using 1/2 of the amount of the flour that is the least. So in this case part of buckwheat would be shared with the flax. You will need to still add xanthum gum or guar gum - using 1 tsp/1 cup of the flour combo. I have not tried this combo yet - just got my bread machine this week and I'm still learning to how it works.
Jan 04/22/10	I just wanted my email address on here because we've recently learned I need to adjust grocery shopping and cooking to fit in with my husband's allergy to wheat, spelt, eggs, and rice! Hoping to find some good recipes on here! Thanks!
ellen 04/22/10	Hi, Jan, hope you find many helpful hints here. See also crockpot365com and her excellent new gluten-free cookbook. We are no longer posting email addresses because of spambots and other intrusive emailers.
Jennifer 05/07/10	Hello, I am looking for good recipes! I am allergic to a ton of stuff, some being Gluten, wheat, soy, corn, potatoes, rice, barley, bananas, apples, rye, carrots, nuts, seafood, just to name a few...I am going crazy eating the same stuff. Miss breads and other "normal" foods..any suggestions would be helpful!
ellen 05/08/10	Eating the same stuff all the time can actually increase your food allergies. Make a list of what you can eat and start rotating, no more than 1 or 2 days on the same food.
caroline 06/20/10	Hi I just found this site. Looking for good oat only recipes. My middle child has gluten, corn, soy, yeast and rice allergies and she loves bread. Thanks for any help and recipes.
Leah 08/21/10	Please has anyone got a recipe for oat flour without yeast but with just basic ingredients I have a basic recipe for corn flour but it still disagrees with me, I usually use the following. 14oz flour (really need to use oat flour) teaspoon salt teaspoon baking soda 320 ml goat's milk 2 eggs I bake in the oven on gas mark 4 for 45-50 minutes. I have never tried this with oat flour so wonder if anyone has this recipe but with oat flour please.
ellen 08/21/10	You need to add some xanthan gum to this mix, especially with non-gluten flours, or it will come out like hockey pucks.
dawn 09/08/10	Do any of the recipes above actually look and feel fluffy like wheat bread?? The gluten free bread I have been buying is heavy, tasteless, or sometimes nasty tasting, stuff.
ellen 09/08/10	Consider ordering a loaf from the little aussie bakery in San Antonio. Then go to crockpot365.com and look at her crock pot loaf. The Aussie bread is light and delicious and the home made one is neither heavy nor nasty.
Alicia 11/08/10	My 3 year old has a wheat allergy. I need to find an oat bread recipe that could replace sandwich bread. I have tried to replace the all-purpose flour with oat flour in traditional bread recipes, but this is just turning out SUPER dense bread. Anyone have any suggestions????
ellen 11/08/10	Go get the Bette Hagman "The Gluten-free Gourmet Bakes" from the library, and also try gluten free bread mixes. See the "crockpot365.com" for hundreds of gluten free recipes.
Carol 12/15/10	Just stumbled on this site. I just bought my first oat flour and am desparate for receipes. Allergies include: Wheat, Soy, Corn, milk products. Thank you
pat 12/18/10	how do you make apple friddles
ellen 12/19/10	Carol, go to the library and check the Hagman books, as well as the recipes above. Pat, what are you looking for?
diane 12/26/10	Was looking for an oat-flour recipe also. Thanks for your websites and information. Here's some info I just learned: anything eaten with sugars can cause food allergies because the sugar prevents the other foods from being able to be digested properly. Try cutting out sugars and a lot of allergies will disappear. www.nancyappleton.com has great info on the effects of sugar in our diets.
Desperate Nana 02/14/11	My grandson has allergies to wheat, milk, soy and rice. Help, is there any recipe that I could possibly make bread or cookies? Thanks so much.
ellen 02/14/11	Yes, for example, the ones made with oatmeal, peanut butter, coconut, and honey. There is also a great helpful magazine called Living Without.
Desperate Nana 02/16/11	I forgot to add my email address. Thanks for the hint about the magazine, I'll get right on that. I guess I'm stupid because I'm not sure where to search for the other recipes.
Michele 03/13/11	Has anyone tried the Oat bread recipe by Nancy on 11/10/06 I am wondering if the arrowroot 1/2 cup could be right. Seems like that would be too much?
ellen 03/14/11	Read a few bits further and you will see it is tried-
Jacki 03/22/11	I have been trying to find some recipes for bread. I hadn't thought about the oat flour but will give the recipes a shot. I have been substituting rice flour and tapioca flour, finding that it is incredibly dense. I look forward to trying some of these recipes. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Carey Marshall 04/09/11	I have just learned that I am VERY allergic to Wheat. Therefore, I am completely changing my diet. Can't believe how many things have wheat in them. So I am looking for a good light, bread recipe with Oat Flour. I tried a bread that my hubby brought home made with millet. The earlier discription of boughten breads fits it Perfectly! Any help you can give me would be VERY much appreciated! I can see that there are a number of people who are having the same issues as I am. Hope to learn from those of you have tried and WON! Thanks,
ellen 04/10/11	For inspiration, you might order bread from the "Little Aussie Bakery" in San Antonio, Texas. Completely gluten-free, and I have not been able to achieve results as good as theirs yet, despite some efforts. You might look at the Bette Hagman cookbooks, such as the gluten-free gourmet bakes. Pretty good recipes.
ellen 04/10/11	Nana, and all, Here is a tasty gluten-free cookie, almond based: baking.food.com/recipe/passover-almond-chocolate-chip-cookies-300831
Wayne 12/27/11	I like left over oatmeal pancakes as a substitute for bread. It's not the same as bread, but is moist and not crumbly like some wheat free breads. I use 2 cups oat flour, 1 Tbsp egg substitute, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 Tbsp agave syrup, 3 Tbsp olive oil, and enough almond milk to achieve the desired consistency. Mix the dry ingredients first, then stir in the liquids. I sometimes add cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and raisins or cranberries for a bit of variety.
Crystal 01/12/12	This site makes me want to cry... We are doing the 6 food elimination diet with my Daughter who is 8 plus anything that she reacted to on her allergy testing.. She has a disease called Eosinophilic esophagitis (swelling of the esophagis) I have spent hours and hours searching for recipes that she can have and this sight gives me hope that I will find something for her to eat besides meat. She cant have wheat, soy, egg, dairy, Barley, corn, peas, turkey, flaxseed, peanuts, tree nuts, so I'm really excited about all these recipes.... I have the xanthum gum, oat, sorgum, and tapioca flour... does anyone have some good recipes involving these items :) Thank you all.... I never knew Allergies could be so hard.... to me your help is priceless even the nutritionist at her dr has had a hard time helping us.
Crystal 01/12/12	Sorry forgot Potato, and sweet potatoes
ellen 01/13/12	Crystal, has anyone talked to you about the elemental foods (liquid, available in cans), as supplements for her? These would provide a nutritional safety net for her to support growth. You need an expert nutritionist for this, a specialist, not just a local nutritionist. From your description, it looks like fruits and non-starchy vegetables are safe for her. You would want to include these at every meal. Also the celiac site will have recipes she can use, although you will have to avoid those with soy or corn. I hope the egg substitute made with flax works for her, this would expand your choices for baking. Do look at crockpot365.blogspot.com/ Stefanie cooks gluten-free for her whole family.
Ashley 01/27/12	Crystal, you might wanna switch to guar gum because xanthan comes from corn.
Ashley 01/27/12	also, check out adventuresofaglutenfreemom.com it's SUPER helpful!
Ashley 01/27/12	here ya go craftycookery.wordpress.com/2011/12/31/gluten-free-yeast-free-oat-bread/ use Braggs apple cider vinegar instead of white, due to the corn allergies. white vinegar is not safe for those w/a corn allergy. Use this combo to replace the eggs with: "2 ½ cups arrowroot powder or tapioca starch ½ cup non-aluminum baking powder 1 Tablespoon guar gum powder Whisk together the arrowroot powder or tapioca starch, baking powder and guar gum or xanthan gum powder in a large mixing bowl. Transfer this mixture to a glass jar and shake vigorously so it's thoroughly mixed. Label the jar accordingly. To substitute for one egg, add 1 ½ teaspoons of Egg Replacer Powder to 3 Tablespoons of water and whisk into a slurry with a small whisk for fork. " You might need to increase liquids in the bread mix, not sure.
Janine 02/01/12	Crystal - we are going through the same thing with my 2-year old. She is allergic to at least 14 foods. We were using Namaste all purpose flour blend. It is gluten free, wheat free, corn free, soy free, dair free, peanut free, tree nut free . . . it's awesome! i can use it to replace regular flour in almost any recipe. My daughter also has Eosinophilic esophagitis. We did try to go the route of the elemental diet, but it was nearly impossible to get the drinks down her. The gastro doctor has thought about a feeding tube. We are hoping to not go that route. Anyway, Namaste is awesome, but it uses rice flour, and we are now suspecting a rice allergy, too. So, for the next 2 weeks . . . no rice. And I used that flour for everything. I make homemade crackers, goldfish crackers, etc. So, it will be a real challenge. Also, Namaste makes a good pizza crust mix, bread mix, brownie mix, etc. Some of the recipes on the bags call for eggs, but you can get around it. For the bread, I uses 1 1/2 T water, 1 1/2 T oil, and 1 1/2 T baking powder. However, I cannot find any corn-free baking powder, so I for every 1 T of baking powder, I use 1/4 T baking soda plus 1/2 T cream of tartar. I have not tried out any of the recipes, but I do have a gluten-free cookbook that offers corn-based, rice-based, or oat-based versions of different things. Kind of cool. It's called "You Won't Believe It's Gluten-Free" by Roben Ryberg. Also, I have not ordered from them yet, but check out Authentic Foods web site. Bob's Red Mill products are not safe for peanut/tree nut allergies. Godspeed! It's hard to do this, but not impossible.
Janine 02/01/12	Ashley - thanks for the egg replacer recipe. I used to use Ener-g egg replacer, but it is potato-based, and my daughter can't have that. Can't wait to try this one!
Melinda 02/02/12	Wow Jenine! Your little girl sounds like my boy. He is now 5 and I think he is outgrowing some of his allergies. I suspect he has a gluten allergy because he isn't growing like his twin brother. The best thing we did was to see a specialist like you have. We opted out of the biopsies, etc. but we got a large scale blood panel showing all the foods he was allergic to and to what degree. We could then formulate a diet that had the lowest amount of allergens. He was allergic to everything but shellfish and chicken. We were told to keep him on soy milk at 2 years of age as much as possible because even though he was allergic to it his body absorbed the calories from it the best. He also did well with quinoa (spelling?) mixed with minced chicken. I tried cooking up quinoa and rices in the juice from steamed vegetables or chicken stock. I sneaked in the vegetables in his rice dishes when I could. It was so hard so I know what your are going through. He also has the esophageal disorder too. I have it as well. The best thing I have found to do Is have water on hand for when he chokes to get the esophagus to move. Also, don't feed pancakes unless there is a lot of syrup on them. They get stuck in the throat. French fries are bad too. Good luck! Your little girl will get better in time.
Janine 02/05/12	Thank you, Melinda! I'm sorry your little boy has the all those allergies! I will say prayers for him. I am very glad to hear he is starting to outgrow them. I hope my daughter does, too. It sounds like your son's case was even more difficult to handle than my daughter's. She has life-threatening allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, and eggs. Then, her other allergies include apples, bananas, oranges, tomatoes, ginger, vanilla, chicken, pork, potatoes, corn, and wheat. Her allergies were causing her to bleed in her digestive tract. We got it under control for about 6 weeks, and then she picked up a nasty case of c. dif. that lasted about three months. Now she's free of that, but is bleeding a little, so rice is the suspect right now since she gets so much of it. I just ordered some flours from Authentic Foods and will try to start using different flours. Thanks for mentioning quinoa. I think I'll try that since there are no pastas or rice she can eat now! That might work! Good luck to your son. I hope he continues to outgrow those allergies!
ellen 02/05/12	If you use quinoa, be aware that it has a natural chemical coating that is just faintly bitter and does not agree with everyone. It rinses off if you give the raw grain a good soak and a thorough rinse.
Janine 02/11/12	Thanks, Ellen!
