r/glutenfreecooking

Hello! I am trying to find a GF bread recipe that does not use potato or corn starch, and also low/no gums if possible. I am celiac but also have other intolerances including nightshades and corn, which makes basically rules out all the storebought GF flour mixes I have seen, and GF breads in stores. I also cannot have pysllium husk or the GF wheat products in some mixes.... grain-free is ideal overall.

So, in summary, looking for a GF bread recipe without:

-nightshades (esp potato starch/flour)

-corn products/flour/starch

-pysllium husk

-gluten free wheat products/ other grains

-gums like guar gum or xanthum gum

If someone has a GF bread recipe that meets these restrictions, I would LOVE to have it please.

I have been missing bread so much, and am craving a piece of toast with jam or a sandwich.

Hey, I'm new here. I found out about a week and a half ago that I'm allergic to gluten. It always kind of made my stomach hurt but a couple months ago, I started having really bad reactions almost every time I ate (hives, vomiting, my throat swelling, etc.), so I went to the doctor. It was deeply upsetting news. A lot of people I know are just kinda like "yeah, thems the shakes. It's just bread, you'll be fine." But it's not just bread. I'm from the deep south. Nearly everything I make calls for flour or something else containing wheat. The one that breaks my heart the most is gumbo. I have no clue what I could use instead that would taste the same and not change the texture. I come here in hopes that someone has been gluten free for a decade and happens to know what works well for cooking as well as baking. Also if you just have snack recommendations cause I'm losing my mind.

Long story short: I got a job in a new city(yay!)
But it will take a month for me to get my own place . I have older family members who are letting me stay in their guest room for free (yay!)
But I’ve stayed with them at holidays and such and they get a bit out out by their routines being off. So I need food prep ideas that ingredients take up very little fridge/freezer space, use the minimal about of dishes to prep (I have a rice cooker, cutting board, and a mini electric skillet)and in general help me function as a ghost in their home.

I need bfast ideas (portable preferred) , lunch, and quick dinner ideas (they’ve said they will make me dinner sometimes but A. I worry about the cc if I’m not watching -they’re decent at it, and B. She’s a recovering almond mom with ocd tendencies and he’s tiny. A big breakfast for the two of them is 1 egg each and they spilt a piece of toast and split a sausage patty)

Help.
Things I cannot change:
I have to live with them for a month.

I cannot change who/how they are.

I need to eat . Safely .

I need to pack a lunch for work every day.

Outside of gf-not restrictions.

Help, please?

I'm curious what everyone's monthly grocery bill looks like. If you have celiac disease or eat strictly gluten-free, how much do you spend each month, and how many people are you shopping for?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working with an early-stage UK food brand (The Gluten Free Zone) that's developing gluten-free Jamaican patties, and I'd love to get some honest input from people who actually live gluten-free day to day, rather than just guessing at what you'd want.

A few questions, if anyone has a few minutes:

1. Which gluten-free products do you currently buy most often?

2. What frustrates you most about the gluten-free market right now?

3. What would actually make you switch to trying a new brand?

4. Would you be interested in trying an African/Caribbean-inspired gluten-free convenience food, like a Jamaican pattie? Genuinely curious either way.

5. What would feel like a fair price for something like that, compared to what you'd pay for a similar snack/meal now?

No pressure at all, and I'm not here to sell anything; just trying to build something that's actually useful rather than another gluten-free afterthought.

Really appreciate any thoughts, even a quick one-liner helps.

Thank you!

Soft & Fluffy Idlis with Instant Pot Fermentation

If you struggle with idli batter fermentation, especially in colder weather, this Instant Pot method has worked really well for me.

I use a simple idli rice + urad dal + methi + poha batter and ferment it on the Yogurt setting. The batter rises beautifully and makes soft, fluffy idlis.

I've noticed a lot of Gluten Free recipes, simply say add the flour, whereas in my non GF baking days it was alway sift the flour.

I know in my old life it was to get air in the mix.
