Quinoa Recipe

This is so good and I can't STOP eating it!!! It's so weird, I've never had a food I couldn't stop eating before but I literally ate the entire first batch I made in one day! Then I made another batch the next day and everytime I open the fridge I have to take it out and eat some! It's not my recipe, I got it off allrecipes.com, but I made a few changes. Hope someone likes it!

Quinoa Taboulleh

1 cup quinoa, rinsed well and drained

2 cups water

pinch of salt

1/2 large cucumber, peeled and diced small

1/2 large tomato, seeded and diced small

1/2 a bunch of parsley, chopped fine

1/3 of a red onion, diced small

1/2 a lemon, juiced

2 Tbsp olive oil

2-3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

salt, pepper and cumin to taste

Bring water to a boil. Add quinoa and a pinch of salt, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15-20 minutes until the little tail part separates from the rest. Remove from heat and let sit with lid on for 3 minutes. Place in large bowl and let cool. When cool, add all the veggies and toss. Mix lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic in small bowl. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Season with salt, pepper and cumin to taste. Now, let it SIT in the fridge, preferable overnight, as it tastes SO MUCH BETTER the next day!!!

Looks good!

I cook mine in Swanson's Chicken Broth (substituted from the water as directed) . With a little butter, it's a great side dish for anything.

This looks wonderful! Thank you for posting this--I've really missed Taboulleh!

I've been using quinoa flakes in couscous recipes, with great results--have you tried that?

No I haven't tried the flakes. I have just tried the regular, I have the white and the red, and I have made just white and a mix of each with this recipe. I really like quinoa! If it weren't for Celiac, I would have never tried it!

Thanks for posting this.

I just made it and it's great. I'm eating it for lunch with gluten-free felafel, hummus and flat bread as I type this.

I used vegetable stock instead of water and pretty much doubled all the ingredients except the quinoa. It worked out really well.

I love this type of food, grew up on it in Toronto Ontario. What brand of Falafel and hummous is gluten free? Where did you get gluten-free flatbread?

This is definitely a recipe I am going to try.

thanks for posting this, it got me inspired to get back in to quinoa!

I can't do onions and garlic but cooked up the quinoa in veggie stock, added fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, bocconcini and mint - it was delicious!

I made the hummus myself but most store bought dips seem to be gluten free.

I'm Australian so I suspect our brands are different to yours. Try healhfood stores for gluten free flat bread and felafal. Or maybe your local middle eastern grocery store.

I am going to try looking for hummus... can't handle lots of garlic. Fallafel mixes might be harder because this area may not carry them. We don't have any middle eastern stores that I am aware of. But I could do fallafel, hummus and Udi's bagels sliced thin and toasted crispy... Mmmmm

Try gogling a recipe for gluten free felafals. Cooking them from scratch takes more time but you can always make a big batch and freeze some uncooked ones.

If you can't handle garlic then you should make your own hommus. Garlic is a staple ingredient but you can always reduce or omit it. Hommus is really easy and fast to make.

HOMMUS

1 tin of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

2 tbsp tahini

2 tsp cumin (optional)

dash of cayenne pepper (optional)

3 cloves of garlic (finely chopped) or 1 tbsp of the minced bottled garlic

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/3 cup lemon juice

1 tsp salt

Mix the ingredients together and blend in a food processor or just mash 'em together. You'll need to add a bit of water until you get the desired consistency.

The hommus will keep for about five days in the fridge.

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for.

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating...

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many...

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
