Buckwheat, Corn, Quinoa-Ok? Help Need Answers

Bonjour

Hi! I am new to the forum and also to the gluten free diet. I have been diagnosised with Celiacs and am having trouble being 100% certain I am eating the right things.

I have read some conflicting information regarding Corn, Quinoa, and Buckwheat. They seem to be gluten free and ok in a gluten-free diet, but, I just read that no real extensive studies have been done on these grains and that one should take caution and only eat in moderation. I eat all three, pretty much daily, in fact I would say they are a staple to my gluten-free diet currently.

Does anyone have any recent information showing these grains to be ok (as in daily consumption)for gluten-free diet or has anyone experienced trouble with eating these grains?

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post, any responses would be greatly appreciated!!

Neither buckwheat nor quinoa are grains, and the storage protein for corn is very different from the storage protein for wheat, barley, and rye.

I don't think I have ever seen a buckwheat or quinoa plant. What are they? Seeds? A fruit of a plant? Alien life forms? :D

Quinoa is actually a seed I eat buckwheat but I'm not sure what it is, but strangely enough is NOT a wheat.

And just for interests sake :)

No doubt about it, all three are safe for Celiacs.

Officially they should be okay for most people who are gluten intolerant since they do not contain gluten.

I am not one of those who can eat no grains (I eat rice and buckwheat and sorghum) but I cannot eat corn or quinoa (and I am a bit leary of millet and amaranth too). So just as with any other food, you will have to rely on your own individual reaction to those three.

I've heard that some buckwheat products actually have wheat mixed into it, so make sure whatever brand you get is 100% pure buckwheat.

Also, Bob's Red Mill buckwheat is made at a facility that produces wheat. Don't make the same mistake I did. <_< Luckily I realized this before I opened it and was able to return it.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
