I made a nice dish with quinoa the other day. I added chopped dried mango, toasted pinenuts and shallots that had been sauted in a mix of butter and olive oil. I've done these same additions to rice too.

I was sitting in my doctor's office this afternoon and they have a tv on at all times with a health watch tv program. There was a lady on there talking about how good quinoa is for you, and she made a dish that looked delicious! She had some cooked quinoa, and made her own version of a fresh pesto (she basically said to make it however you like it) and then some sauteed veggies, like peppers and onions. She mixed this all together to serve cold as a salad, it looked delicious! My mouth has been watering since I left there...which is odd because I was there because I've been sick as a dog for 2 days and couldn't even hold down toast.

Collette, this sounds amazing! I absolutely love mushrooms. I made a beef stew last week that was delicious, but would have never thought to serve with quinoa. Thanks for the ideas!

I am intrigued w/ quinoa, and do NOT know how to rinse it. It's too small for colander and strainer, I think..........how do you guys rinse this stuff and get rid of the soapy taste? :blink:

I'd love to use it!

I have a very fine strainer that I use.

I pre-soak the quinoa in a pot for 30 minutes or so, then drain and refill the water and repeat the process and soak again. Then I drain them and cook with fresh water. The soaking removes the saponins, which is bitter tasting and that soapy froth you see when you run water over them.

I use a finer strainer to drain them, the holes are very small and the grain doesn't slip through. You could always put a couple paper towels in the bottom of your strainer if the holes are bigger.

Hi!

Those recipes sound AMAZING!!! I heart Quinoa!!!

I actually made the yummiest breaky out of quinoa....:

Warm up leftover quinoa (or cook some) and add craisins (mmm), brown sugar/honey, cinnamon, a pinch of flax seeds and fruit of your choice. I personally love adding frozen blueberries..I like the temperature and texture the frozen berries bring to the dish.

I know it's simple, but quinoa as breakfast is healthy and keeps you full for a long time!

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      Thank you for sharing this — it’s really important. The FDA is actively seeking public input on improving gluten and ingredient labeling, which could directly impact how people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity shop and stay safe. Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in ...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also ...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      A lot of gluten-free packaged foods do rely on extra sugar, starches, or sodium to replace texture and flavor, so focusing on simpler options makes sense. Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those...

Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in foods. I encourage everyone here who is affected by celiac or gluten sensitivity to read the announcement and submit their own suggestions — real lived experience matters and can influence policy changes that benefit the whole community.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also commonly reported in celiac kids and can be related to slow healing, reflux, motility, or even low iron itself. It sounds like the supplements are clearly helping, which is reassuring, and ongoing monitoring with her doctor can help determine when (or if) doses can be reduced as absorption improves. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those with whole foods can help you feel more “normal” without triggering symptoms. Subscription boxes can be hit or miss, so checking labels carefully and using them as an occasional supplement—rather than a staple—often works best.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.
