Question by sam: Where can I buy best gluten free flour?
Where can I buy best gluten free flour and flour mixes. I heard that gluten free recipes and products are the best solution for autism and gluten intolerance. Also I like to know about the price details of the gluten free flour of different companies. Many companies advertise themselves saying they sell good flour, but I could not find the quality in those gluten free flour. The reply is deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hodgson Mill sells lots of gluten-free flours online. You can either buy a few different flours and combine them, or buy all-purpose gluten-free flour (Arrowhead Mill sells it). With both you need to use xanthum gum, to make it rise, which you should be able to get at Bob’s Red Mill (I order online). The amount of xanthum gum you need depends on the specific recipe, but you can just google it.
Here are two combinations of flours (can be substituted cup-for-cup):
1/4 cup soy flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
OR
6 cups white rice flour
2 cups potato starch
1 cup tapioca flour
I’ve used the first one more, and the all-purpose. They’re pretty good, but usually pretty dry. Using 1 packet of “flavorless” gelatin helps retain moisture.

Just buy rice flour.
You can contact http://www.domatalivingflour.com/
This company is the direct manufacturers and sellers of best gluten free flour at world’s most economic price in wholesale and retail. Believe me I have never experienced such a wonderful flour in my life like this Domata Gluten Free Flour. Apart from gluten free flour they also produce Gluten Free Recipes such as pizzas, pretzels, cookies, boneless crispy chicken, orange scone cranberrys, pancakes, white cake.
I believe they are in research to produce multigrain bread which have not tried by any company as of now in the world. This will be awesome news for bread lovers.
There is the price list in their website homepage which will be useful for you to compare the prices with other companies.
Hope this is useful to you.
Health food stores will definitely have it. Alternatively, check the health food section of a grocery store.
If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, they may have it. Or any health food store.
Most health food stores should have it. You can also find it in the natural food section in some major grocery stores. I believe Trader Joes sell it and Whole Foods might as well.
If you are looking at doing the GFCF (Gluten Free Casein Free) diet for autism here are some good website to check out

Whole Foods is a good place to buy gluten-free flour. Pre-made gluten-free flour mixes such as Bob’s Red Mills GF All-Purpose Flour exist that can be in many cases substituted for gluten flours in recipes. Sizes range from 22 ounces to 25 lb bags. Also, the individual flours can also be purchased at Whole Foods or online and combined in different ratios to produce the desired results. Whole Foods sells items manufactured by other companies as well as the bulk flours in barrels. I have a post for flour mixes on my blog see the link below, and see link to Bob’s Red Mills. Some other manufactures are Ener-G Foods and Arrowhead Mills. I hope this helps.
Bob’s Red Mill. Life-saver. 🙂 They sell Gluten Free All-Purpose baking flour! which is AMAZING… and tons of other gluten free flour mixes. I love them!
I think everyone else has answered your main question, but for the record, in treating autism, usually gluten and casein are both removed, not just gluten. Many children react to both, some react more to one than the other, and some react only to one (many times, it’s the casein). Also, because of the way you worded it with “I heard that gluten free recipes and products are the best solution”, I would just like to make sure you know that for both gluten intolerance and autism, every last trace of gluten counts, in every product that ever crosses your lips.
You may not be particularly happy with any gluten-free flours you try if you are accustomed to wheat flour. Over time, you may be able to adjust your tastes, but you have to expect that they will taste different.
Any health food store, or online. Bob’s Red Mill makes quality products in my opinion. You can look around at celiac or gluten free websites for reviews.
The Kroger grocery store near my house has a big organic section with a lot of gluten-free foods and ingredients. I’d say look in the organic sections of your grocery stores. Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Fresh Market are all good stores as well.
