I haven't experimented with Quinoa much but I do cook it like oat meal and eat it with honey and milk like oatmeal. I think it has a similar texture and taste. It is very filling and sticks with you.

Good luck with it and I will look forward to hearing what others do with it.

You can eat quinoa for any meal. It can take a variety of additions or seasoning. I'm sure you can find lots of recipes online. Or you can use it as a sub for rice in any recipe.

For breakfast, I like to put 1 cup of gluten-free grains (it could be just quinoa, something else, or a mixture) to 3 1/2 cups water in my crockpot at night, and set it at low. In the morning, I add 1/2 cup of nondairy milk, 1/2 cup of dried fruit, and any seasoning that appeals (I seem to like a little maple syrup right now). Then cook another 30 minutes. This makes enough for 3 meals. You can double this recipe, too. Then other mornings you just need to microwave and there you go.

If you have a Wild Oats near you they have a free Bulk Food Guide that is really helpful to have on hand.

It gives info about the items that are sold in the bulk department, grains, flours, legumes, etc and tips and instructions on how to cook them.

Millet is included in the guide. It can be made as a cereal/porridge, a side grain pilaf type dish, and millet cakes just to name a few.

I haven't used millet a whole lot, but I found it tasted best in the pressure cooker, a little scary to use but once I got the hang of it it was easy.

I just followed the guide with the grain to water ratio appropriate for the pressure cooker, threw in some sliced onion, shredded carrot, and some ghee, makes a very tasty side dish.

You can take this cooked mixture and add egg and a little millet flour to make millet cakes by browning them in a skillet with a little olive oil.

If you prepare it like oatmeal it makes a great hot cereal, top with fruit, chopped nuts or nut butter, or yogurt, the possibilities are endless.

I take (peeled) apples and boil them in some water, and once they're applsauce-y but still a bit chunky, I add enough water to equal the amount you would use for your serving of quinoa, and cook the quinoa in that. Doesn't need any sweetener, tastes delicious.

If you're meaning quinoa flakes, then yes, that's like oatmeal. But if you're meaning just plain quinoa, I like to make it with chicken broth. I think it's a 2:1 ratio, so, 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups chicken broth. It's reallllly good this way, I won't eat it any other way.

For quinoa flakes, you can do cinnamon and agave (or maple syrup) with some apples. It's a great breakfast.

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they had a systems problem around that time.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
