Hi,
I have been reading on the website for a few days and some here on the forum. I did a search but did not pull anything up about my question. I am celiac and would like to know if the gluten free grains are soluble fiber? I am suspecting yes, since quinoa is soluble. I want to make some bread with Amaranth flour. I have been trying this diet for the past 2 days.Don't really know if I have IBS or not, but something is happening to my gut!

...that it depends on the grain. Anything wholegrain is going to be higher in IF.

I am very new to this. I have read quite a bit on the website but don't recall the amount of fat (I am assuming IF means fat) I should eat or avoid. I did a search on the gluten-free flours and they are mostly high in protein. Here is a break down on Amaranth Dry:
1 cup contains:
15% fat, 69% carb and 15% protein calories
Does that help?
Thanks

...stands for Insoluble Fibre (see here for a list of abbreviations. If something isn't on there, let me know...I've just noticed that Insoluble Fibre is only down as ISF  Sorry!
Have you done a search for amaranth?

Amaranth is very insoluble. I think there is only like 5% SF and the rest is soluble. The only soluble gluten free grains that I know of are white rice and quinoa.

Yes, I have. I think we posted at about the same time and you didn't see my post about that. Now that I know what IF stands for the amount of fiber is 29.6 gr. I saved the link to abbreviations so I can refer to it. thanks,

...will be both IF and SF, unless specified.

Hi Beth,
Nice to run into another celiac here! Can you share with me any soluble gluten free foods that you use or recipes for a bread, cracker or chip? Mostly I don't use already prepared gluten-free foods but make my own because of all the other things I am allergic/sensitive too, like fillers, gums etc.
Thanks for any help,
Del

Can I use it or how can I use it? I find the info about what is soluble and what is insoluble on searches to not be the same as what is on this site. I have found lists of soluble fibre foods that have insoluble fibre foods on the list (according to this site) and vise a versa. It it confusing!! How do I check a peticular food (and let it be according to Heather) besides just asking here?
Thanks, Del

Hi,
I ate gluten free for a year while my stomach was at its worst. I have a great bread recipe somewhere that uses bananas, gluten free flour, rice milk, bicarb of soda and cream of tartar. You bake it in a brownie tin and it is a bit like a foccacia in that it doesn't rise a lot - more like a cake mix really. You can make it more savoury by using carrots instead of the banana. If you would like me to post the recipe I could find it in my book collection.
A mixture of rice and buckwheat flour also makes a great ginger cake!
