tapioca has NO WHEAT GLUTEN but it's sticky. Mix it with almost any type of flour (except wheat/barley/rye) and it will stiffen it up to give you something much more like regular baked goods, etc.

My grandmother used to cook with tapioca and oatmeal flour all the time ~ made things without wheat. She didn't know why she "liked" the stuff, but my father said she made everything that way.

Many of those expensive pre-made gluten free products contain tapioca.

I don’t think mine is a gluten sensitivity with the things I can’t eat, but I’ll look into that.
