has anyone tried using quinoa as a replacement for barley and bulghur wheat in recipes? if so, how does it work? i've been craving tabouli lately and don't know what to use.

I'd probably toast some millet and cook it and use it as a replacement for bulgar. It's got a similar taste/texture. If you want something stronger flavored, you could try kasha (roasted buckwheat), but I'm ambivalent about quinoa for the purpose of tabouleh.

beelzebubble-

I LOVE taboulli and that was one of the things I missed the most after going gluten-free. I tried buckwheat in place of the bulgar wheat and it was so gross I threw it out. However I used brown rice and it was awesome. I cooked the brown rice first (I used regular brown rice not the quick cooking kind) and then added it to the rest of the ingredients. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out! :)

Quinoa is a great substititue for couscous in tabboulli (sp?). It might satisfy your craving for bulgar, too. It is a very high protien grain. You cook it up just like rice- be sure to rinse it well and make sure there are no hulls, or it will taste a bit bitter.

Good Luck,

Pam

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
