Quinoa is gluten free. I did notice when I eat it, it does cause me to need to use the restroom. I believe that is because it is so nutritious that all systems are working properly.us

Quinoa is definitely gluten-free. I eat it with no difficulties. What form was it in, that is, how was it prepared?

I cooked it in chicken broth...maybe that is my answer

It could be something in the broth. If you purchased the grain whole, it should be rinsed thoroughly prior to cooking. It has a natural coating of saponins. Quinoa sold in North America is usually rinsed as part of the packaging process.

I have used water, wine, and gluten-free soy sauce for preparation. I haven't tried broth, but that might make an interesting variation (provided the broth is gluten-free).

The broth may have been the culprit. I just had to purge my cupboards of gluten-containing broths... it's worth checking.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By Beverage · Posted

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.
