I use these in baking all the time, Jason, and as an extremely sensitive Celiac, have had zero issues with them. They add a nice crunch to

cookie recipes! I am not allergic or intolerant to anything but gluten and dairy so I guess the only way you will know if they are safe for you to use is to give them a whirl. They are gluten-free, though, no doubt on that.

I use them alot with no issues. Has a weird taste as hot cereal though.

I think those are safe. Quinoa doesn't contain gluten. That's a dedicated factory. I never had a problem or obvious reaction. However, I didn't like the bitter taste. So I substituted those quinoa flakes in oatmeal cooky recipes until gluten free oats became more available. I've never had reactions to gluten free oats either.

Last time I looked at a box it had a note saying that it was processed in a facility that also processes wheat. Has that changed? Someone said that they are made in a dedicated facility.

I called the company and they told me that the flakes were processed in a shared facility. The whole grains were processed in a dediacted gluten-free facility. However, that was over a year ago-I feel that I reacted to the flakes at the time. Things may have changed. Reason to call and ask for oneself.

They need to be doctored if you're going to use them as a hot cereal - some variety of sweetener (agave, stevia, etc.) and a spice (cinnamon, vanilla, etc.) for example.

Here is an update from the Ancient Harvest website:

Are your products produced in gluten free facilities?

Our Ancient Harvest Quinoa, Quinoa Flour, Gluten Free Pasta Corn/Quinoa Product Line and Food Merchant Polenta are all processed in specialized gluten free facilities in the United States. This assures us of the highest quality integrity and frequent shorter production runs for fresher product delivered to our customers. Our Quinoa Flakes are now also processed in a gluten free facility.

Oh, hey, thanks for that! I had stopped using them with my daughter because she seemed to react when they were in the shared facility. Wonder if she'd be willing to give them another try.

Recipe-wise, when we used to use these, they worked in recipes like quick oats, but they would be of a softer texture. You could also use them on top of things like blueberry or apple crisp. If we didn't want as soft a texture, we added a little less liquid to the recipe than we would have with quick oats.

As a porridge, they had a sort of malt-o-meal consistency which I found unappealing.

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
