I've had long breaks (2 yrs or so) but no major change. After a long while I can eat it again but that only lasts a few days and then stomach aches start again. <br /> <br />I've figured out one thing that helps though, a cup of coffee right after or alongside the meal (I'm not recommending it just saying). With that little trick I can kind of go on for a few more days but the end result is still the same (in the end I always give up). <br /><br />It feels like indigestion really (and coffee helps with that) or some sort of intolerance. It doesn't look like it's an allergy (in my case) but it's still a warning sign (given that it could be very painful) that you should avoid it or at least be very careful.<br /><br />I used to eat it every day, for years w/o any problems (only organic, always washed, cooked thoroughly) - I really have no idea what went wrong, call me a conspiracy theorist but as soon as the industry took over and it became popular the problems started.Dragan Chehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497786307217825691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552504907783881842.post-59715023655538463722019-07-29T16:05:08.064-07:002019-07-29T16:05:08.064-07:00Doc chrles masom

After the 3rd time within one year, I connected the dots and realized it was the 'healthy' quinoa that caused my normal 'iron gut' put me out of commission. Each time, I was curled up in a ball, in horrible pain, and would fall asleep for several hours. Usually upon waking, I was back to normal. I'm known for my iron gut (which runs in the family) and have gone more than a decade (more than once) within any intestinal issues. Bad quinoa! And, oh, how I miss thee.

It has manifested in EXTREME itching,pain and little bump/blisters-under my arms, on wrists and palms, groin, behind knees, soles of feet and all around my neck-feels like the worst case of razor burn ever! I just ate some last night and have been eating it almost daily for a month. I had eliminated cabbage(weird, but I know someone that has an extreme allergy to it), nuts and tomatoes-trying to figure out what is making me itch like a mad woman. Finally today, I thought about the quinoa and Googled it. Plenty of people are very allergic and it's not to the saponins, it is to the proteins in it.foodallegiessuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500606578297535247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552504907783881842.post-39160770974876560492016-08-09T16:33:08.268-07:002016-08-09T16:33:08.268-07:00When you do try to reintroduce quinoa, do it in li...When you do try to reintroduce quinoa, do it in little bits accompanied by salt that contains magnesium chloride and with foods that aren't considered common allergens.

I bought a bag of organic frozen quinoa & vegetables and microwaved it in the bag. I had it with fish cakes and fresh broccoli. Right after eating I began to feel my stomach churning & grumbling; then soon after came the nausea, and then the ralphing. I thought it was the fish cakes that gave me food poisoning, so a few weeks later I had the same brand of organic quinoa with vegetables; and BAM, knocked me for a loop again. So I am convinced that my system cannot take that grain for whatever reason. So I am sticking to cooking brown rice for my grain fix.. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552504907783881842.post-87220562352917464882016-01-23T23:14:40.408-08:002016-01-23T23:14:40.408-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03173234190995712794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552504907783881842.post-25427973756586867712016-01-23T23:12:34.362-08:002016-01-23T23:12:34.362-08:00My 13 yr. old daughter started eating quinoa every...My 13 yr. old daughter started eating quinoa every day for lunch approx. 1 yr. ago.

Just found your writing on http:...Dear Kristine: <br /><br />Just found your writing on http://sopranointherealworld.blogspot.com/2011/12/quinoa-psa-and-seven-foods-you-should.html .<br /><br />Usually your case with quinoa this is a "leaky-gut" problem. JUST wash your quinoa well, and do not eat pre-made quinoa food products from the prepared food section of any store incase they did not wash, or wash the quinoa properly -- probably stay away from quinoa flakes as well. <br /><br />The outer layer of the quinoa seed contains substances called saponins. In some foods, such as beans, saponins are edible phytonutrients that may deliver health benefits. The natural saponins in quinoa repel insects, which is a benefit because the plant doesn't need additional chemical pesticides. However, you should not eat quinoa saponins. They have a bitter taste and may damage the small intestine, according to Purdue University. This is the cause of "leaky-gut". Many brands of quinoa are pre washed to remove saponins, but it’s a good idea to rinse the seeds again prior to cooking to be sure all remnants are removed. If you’re not sure whether the seeds were pre washed, rinse them several times in fresh water.<br /><br />If you truly do think this is truly an allergy have yourself checked out by a professional and good allergist instead of self-diagnosising.

Eventually I connected the dots and realised it was the quinoa. That was the time I ended up in hospital on a morphine drip after a nice meal out with my family. I'm 40 years old and had never been to the ER before - but that's how severe the pain got. Once you have the sensitivity/allergy, it seems to get worse every time you consume the stuff. I'm never going back, the pain was just too bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552504907783881842.post-27001382338965405072015-06-17T06:00:07.180-07:002015-06-17T06:00:07.180-07:00OMG, I'm so glad other people feel the same wa...OMG, I'm so glad other people feel the same way as me - though obviously, not when we're feeling bad (!) I've eaten quinoa for years - YEARS - with no problems, always the grain sort, usually mixed with rice. Recently I saw some quinoa flakes and thought it might be nice to eat it as a morning porridge - BANG! Writhing on the floor in agony. First it felt like severe hunger pains, then like indigestion, then like really really bad period pains. I thought it was indigestion - I mean, again, I'd eaten this stuff for YEARS - and had some again the next week. Same thing again. Still didn't connect the dots - and then I baked some sweet potato buns and worked in some quinoa - less this time, but had horrible indigestion-feelings for hours afterwards. Finally have put two and two together. I contacted the company complaining and they started giving me the run around - saying I must be allergic to it, etc - whereupon I asked them to explain HOW ON EARTH HAVE I EATEN THIS STUFF FOR YEARS THEN? Surely yours can't be properly washed otherwise I wouldn't have had such a reaction. Now I'm scared to eat it again - I'll be really annoyed if they've made me allergic to it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664007848875130573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552504907783881842.post-49012378142457402342015-04-10T17:19:26.222-07:002015-04-10T17:19:26.222-07:00Same for me.

Finally narrowed it down to the quinoa. Tried a different type, red, and that will be the last time. I had a horrible burning in the middle of my stomach, a lot like severe heart burn. Pepto, mallox, Alka Seltzer, etc. nothing worked. Lasted about 18 hours before the pain finally stopped. Worst and only food related pain I have ever had. Never let up. Rough!

I have enjoyed quinoa for some time, but the other night was horrible! I never felt too nauseous, it was more like sharp pain right in the center of my stomach, reminiscent of heartburn. it lasted from 8 PM until 12 PM the next day. I definitely considered a trip to urgent care/ER. I tried Pepto and Zantac, neither of which really touched it. But then I tried some Tylenol, which shockingly helped. <br />I had quinoa again last night, and it was the second time I responded that way. I took the Zantac and Pepto again as well as Tylenol right away and it did improve it over the first time, though it was still bad. good luck everyone!

And I LOVE quinoa. We have a quinoa salad that is almost a staple... the last 2 times my husband made it and my stomach was upset afterwards. The first time I wondered if maybe he put too many onions in it, but didn't have leftovers. The second time I decided to try again and also had an upset stomach. I have a sensitive stomach so it's easy to blame it on something else. Then I made quinoa with black beans the other night... oh, it was SOOOO tasty. But a couple of hours after eating I began to feel horribly ill. Awful stomach cramps and nausea, I felt like I was going to "shuke". (where you don't know which way you need to use the toilet. I thought I would vomit, but couldn't. I thought I was going to have diarrhea, but didn't. No relief. I ended up just lying on my side in bed in a fetal position and staring at the wall. It was so bad that at one point I thought I might need my husband to take me to the ER. This time, I figured it was a cupcake I'd eaten as well. Well, fast forward a couple of days, and I decided to have some of that quinoa and black beans for lunch. Guess what? Same stomach issues again. Ding ding ding. I started to connect the dots, did a couple of quick internet searches, and found I'm not alone. What a bummer though. :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552504907783881842.post-18779456746125060122014-09-13T21:33:34.728-07:002014-09-13T21:33:34.728-07:00PSA = public service announcementPSA = public service announcementAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
