Emmaglow Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yesterday was Day 21 for my partner and me. We have really been doing a great job. Our neighbors have been very supportive of us and even gave up booze for 30 days to help us. LOL Soooo last night they had us over for a whole 30 dinner. Long story short there one one item that I fell in love with and ate a bunch. Then i asked how to make it. CORNSTARCH!!!!! I started crying at the table. I was so upset that I was so good and then I messed up. I made everyone feel bad then I felt even worse!!! So this morning I woke up and after having very normal and regular bathroom breaks for over 2 weeks, lets just say I was NOT normal. So the good news is that I found out that I am sensitive to something. This is a very interesting proccess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLM Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Can anyone tell me a replacement for corn starch that is compliant? I want to make stew and usually toss a little corn starch in while browning beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I would just skip it--you can brown beef without any added stuff and it will be fine--but if you are determined to substitute something arrowroot or tapioca might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeve Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Stew is to broth as chowder is to milk, so yea, arrowroot powder. It's the most viable roux substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vian Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Arrowroot starch behaves exactly like corn starch if you want a healthy replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
