Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Rice flour is scientifically validated as a safe and effective alternative to wheat flour for individuals with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Rice is a naturally gluten-free grain, and its flour form is commonly used in gluten-free baking and cooking. Numerous studies and clinical guidelines, including those from the American College of Gastroenterology and Celiac Disease Foundation, recommend rice flour as a staple for people with celiac disease because it does not provoke the immune response associated with gluten ingestion.

Rice flour is widely used in the preparation of gluten-free bread, pasta, and other baked goods, providing a similar texture and structure to traditional wheat-based products. Its use is supported by both scientific literature and national/international dietary guidelines for celiac disease management. However, while rice flour is safe and helps maintain dietary variety, individuals with celiac disease should be aware of potential arsenic exposure from rice products and consider diversifying their gluten-free grains when possible. Overall, the substitution of wheat flour with rice flour is a cornerstone of celiac disease dietary therapy, fully backed by current scientific evidence.
