Can you eat quinoa? It's a pretty amazing grain and they make quinoa pasta that is actually pretty good...I found it at Whole Foods. I also like quinoa flakes, which cook up like Cream of Wheat but is much beter for you. I've heard you can also use the flakes in baking. Just a thought...good luck to you, I'm sure this must be a difficult thing to deal with in life.

how old were you when you (or your parents) started discovering these allergies? did you have to learn about each new one the hard way, or did you undergo tests to spare you that unpleasantness?

Here are some links in case you can't find it in your area (we have to order the flakes online):

general info on quinoa

quinoa flakes on amazon

quinoa pasta

and ps...I don't work for the quinoa folks...I've just seen this stuff really help people fill out their restrictive diets....good luck again! :)

Yikes! Good info to know...thank you for enlightening me! I will have to research this and source it more responsibly. Again, thanks for the info.

thanks for the article! At least this bit was encouraging:

But just because quinoa is not perfect in every way doesn't mean we should stop eating it. Quinoa is also beholden to the law of supply and demand. Currently demand is sky high, but supply will eventually catch up. There are already quinoa farms popping up in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, as well as in Canada, Australia, China, India and Paraguay.
