Foods that are worth a special order:

Sorghum flour, millet flour and gram flour are useful glutenfree flours for baking.

They are often available in shops specialising in food from Africaand Asia.

Your local health food shop may be willing to order these from a specialistflour mill or you can order them direct.

A group of coeliacs in your local society may be willing to clubtogether to order the minimum wholesale quantity and so reduce prices.

Store larger quantities of dry flour in a deep freeze, placingthe bag or packet inside a polythene bag and only remove smaller quantitiesas you need them. Dry flour will keep for a year or more in this way.
