Carbalose flour

Does any body use this?

If so where do you buy it please?

That's a supposedly low carb flour and if you have a look on the low carb diet thread in the Health and Beauty thread section you may well find people who have used it - there are lots of avid 'low' carb bakers there.

I low carb but I never eat low carb flour, pasta etc because eating that stuff doesn't get you out of the carb-eating habit.

I have low carbed for over 14 months straight so I am not in a carb eating habit.

I go on that thread a lot but have not noticed people baking with it.

I want to try to use less flax/coconut flour.

Thanks Edwardia, it is lowcarbmegastores price that I am trying to better. I do a monthly order from there for other items.

just a warning if its anything like the atkins flour i tried some years ago its nasty stuff

is there a reason u are trying to avoid flax and coconut flours? or is it just a cost issue as u may find the cost of the carbalose will outweigh that

have u tried any of jennifer eloffs flour blends, one uses whey protein flour that u can also get from lowcarbmega but its a lot cheaper.

if u cant find her flour blends let me know and i will find the link for u

Have you tried Shorgum flour ,You can get it in many asian shops & its relevantly cheap ,averages about £2.50 for 2kg packs ;1 kg are also avail ,but a little more expensive
Its made from the seed of the plant and is Gluten free ,not exactly low card ,but its supposed to be better alternative to wheat
