Buckwheat, Corn, Quinoa-Ok? Help Need Answers

Bonjour

Hi! I am new to the forum and also to the gluten free diet. I have been diagnosised with Celiacs and am having trouble being 100% certain I am eating the right things.

I have read some conflicting information regarding Corn, Quinoa, and Buckwheat. They seem to be gluten free and ok in a gluten-free diet, but, I just read that no real extensive studies have been done on these grains and that one should take caution and only eat in moderation. I eat all three, pretty much daily, in fact I would say they are a staple to my gluten-free diet currently.

Does anyone have any recent information showing these grains to be ok (as in daily consumption)for gluten-free diet or has anyone experienced trouble with eating these grains?

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post, any responses would be greatly appreciated!!

Neither buckwheat nor quinoa are grains, and the storage protein for corn is very different from the storage protein for wheat, barley, and rye.

I don't think I have ever seen a buckwheat or quinoa plant. What are they? Seeds? A fruit of a plant? Alien life forms? :D

Quinoa is actually a seed I eat buckwheat but I'm not sure what it is, but strangely enough is NOT a wheat.

And just for interests sake :)

No doubt about it, all three are safe for Celiacs.

Officially they should be okay for most people who are gluten intolerant since they do not contain gluten.

I am not one of those who can eat no grains (I eat rice and buckwheat and sorghum) but I cannot eat corn or quinoa (and I am a bit leary of millet and amaranth too). So just as with any other food, you will have to rely on your own individual reaction to those three.

I've heard that some buckwheat products actually have wheat mixed into it, so make sure whatever brand you get is 100% pure buckwheat.

Also, Bob's Red Mill buckwheat is made at a facility that produces wheat. Don't make the same mistake I did. <_< Luckily I realized this before I opened it and was able to return it.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
