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

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      Thanks for asking  I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
