Where to find it: gums, gluten free flours and odd ingredients
In the past few months, several people have asked me where to find _____ flour or ingredient. I am going to do my best to be both vague (where you MIGHT find something) and specific (where I have found said product). If you know of another awesome place, please share!

If being gluten free isn't the full fix, you might look into the specific carbohydrate diet, which may help your gut to heal much faster than merely eliminating gluten allows. (Look for "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" which explains the diet, which was designed for celiac disease patients for whom a gluten-free diet wasn't a total cure.)
ReplyDeletemany of the harder to find starches, like tapioca, sweet rice, and potato starch, can be found at asian supermarkets like Super88 (now Hong Kong market at South Bay, I don't know if the others are also now Hong Kong Mkt). They're also a lot cheaper there than in 'western' stores.
ReplyDeleteanon- very true, though I am not quite ready to go down that path, though there is a lot of interesting research on the subject
ReplyDeletemishakim - so true! Indian markets also have the best prices for chick pea flour too.
