Quinoa Flour

I decided to try quinoa flour. I bought a bag of Bob's Red Mill. I thought it smelled bitter. I then decided to try a chocolate fudge cupcake recipe (on the back of the bag) and there is a strange bitterness to them. I did make them sugar free using erythritol and some stevia extract (non bitter) but I don't think this made them taste off. I have used that combination before in my bean cake and it is great. Anyone else not like it?

Did you use any other flours with it? I have used it before (onlyl once) in a bread recipe, but it was in combination with other flours and the bread was delicious. I don't think I would like it as a single ingredient flour.

I can't stand quinoa either. It makes me gag. <_<

No other flours mixed with it. Just nasty. I like to eat quinoa and I rinse it before I cook it several times. I bet it does not get rinsed before grinding.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
