RE: Paleo Chocolate Orange Cookies.
We're mostly glyphosate intolerant, rather than gluten intolerant. Nearly all coconut flour contains added lactose (milk powder!) and is not what it purports to be. It COMES from places like Thailand and nope, we never buy or use it. Organic rice flour is a great choice.

Yes, I'm starting to hear that about wheat. Hard to get anything organic, though.
The coconut flour I have comes from Sri Lanka, apparently, and is dairy free and vegan. Does the lactose get added in Thailand? You can't win, can you? Rice is supposed to have arsenic in it, so you can't go too mad on that, either and that's what many turn to when they can't have gluten. We go through a lot of rice. I try to get most of my dried goods organic from Honest to Goodness, because they don't add extras that many places do.

Is Sri Lankan coconut flour likely to have added milk solids? Oh yeah - more so than Thai product. The NATURE of coconut flour is that is the waste product from oil pressing. It has all of the flavour and oils etc pressed out. It's too valuable for oil to make flour from unprocessed meat - the flour prices are far too low comparatively, and the unprocessed meat is too wet anyway. Honest to Goodness are only taking the supplier's word for it and I'd be VERY VERY surprised if they lab test for lactose. Just buy organic wheat - the gluten is 99.99% sure not the issue - it's the heavy pesticides in it. Organic rice is great and a little arsenic is healthy and normal. :) Ultimately just cut down on all those western carb diets altogether - you don't NEED masses of them at all. After living in Asia, seeing the way western people overeat on bread and carbs (and most things) is really quite shocking.
These things can get exhausting. I'm finding nothing about the added milk powder online. I'm fairly confident with this brand I have, because my friend uses it too and she is lactose intolerant. She's had no issues. It's ironic, really, because lactose intolerance is much more common in Asians that Europeans.
I think bread has been seen as a "staple" for so long, it's become a hard habit to break. I wonder what the diabetes levels are like in Asia compared to the west. I'm guessing much lower. It's going to be slow progress to wean the family off bread.
