Hi. Recently bought Quinoa cereal to replace oatmeal that I can't have. It's okay, but I don't think that I'm feeling great. Maybe it's something else. It looks like it's made safely, but I don't know. Has anyone else reacted to this or that brand?

The paleo dietary movement says that quinoa is bad. It punches holes in the microvilli and causes "leaky gut syndrome". I've read this about quinoa in a few different places. I don't know how accurate or scientific the paleo diet is. I still eat rices and some legumes, but other grains I leave alone. Open Original Shared Link

I tried plain quinoa within a few months of going gluten-free. It kicked me in the teeth. (Actually, it kicked me somewhere else, and it took me a few days to recover.) I waited awhile to try oats. I called in sick on Monday because I tried certified gluten-free oats on Sunday (broke my rule about trying new foods on Friday so I'd have time to recooperate). It's weird. Some people have no problem with quinoa and some do. I didn't have a probem with oats at first.

You might like buckwheat. Cream of buckwheat cereal or buckwheat groats. It's a grass vs. a grain. You cook it like oatmeal.

We eat quinoa from time to time, and have never had a problem. If it has not already been done by the packaging company, you need to thoroughly rinse the quinoa prior to using it. In nature, it has a coating of saponins, which are a natural protection against insects, but do not generally agree with human digestion.

Ancient Harvest quinoa does not need to be prerinsed...it may be a bit more expensive than other brands.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
