Quinoa is a nutritious alternative for Celiacs. The number of diagnosed Celiacs has quadrupled in the last 10 years. Doctors have a greater understanding of and are getting better at diagnosing the disease rather than pigeonholing everyone with IBS. I suspect this may have more to do with the Quinoa demand than vegetarianism.

Not only that but it turns out most people have difficulties with gluten. I stopped eating gluten 2.5 years ago and the smallest amount of wheat now would make me sick. It’s like a poison that most people keep taking. It causes leaky gut and that hurts our immune systems etc.

However, I do not eat quinoa. I try to stay away from grains, but when I do eat any it will be rice, tapioca, teff.
