Jessica M. Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi! I am on day 38 and am so bloated and hurting all over. The only thing I can think is different is last night I made salmon patties and I tried tapioca flour as a binding agent, for the first time. Of course I had a few for dinner and again for breakfast. Quick Google search, seems some people can have reactions? Anyone here experience this? I've had a bit too much fruit yesterday/today, but not THAT Much. Feel so crummy.

gatork Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I haven't tried tapioca flour but I kind of have a reaction to coconut flour (bloating, digestive issues, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moluv Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I have similar reactions to any flours- nut flours, rice corn- xanthan gum you name it. I wouldn't even try to eat tapioca flour for fear of the same. I can do a tiny bit of coconut flour for binding but I'm always trepidatious with that too. I doubt it was the fruit- I would blame it on tapioca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I have had a couple of similar episodes after using arrowroot (tapioca) to thicken a chicken stew. I only use it really occasionally now. I use pumpkin purée instead where I can as a thickener... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
