I discovered my allergy to Quinoa several years ago when thinking of going vegan. I washed the seeds and added sauteed kale and garlic and ate a bowl of it – it was great, but within 1 hour I was violently sick to my stomach. Thought it was a bug of some sort. Tried it again a few months later (premade dish at Whole Foods salad bar). Had about 1 cup and the same thing happened, but while at work, which was a horrendous experience – again -the reaction was within an hour.

I avoided the seed in all forms until about a year ago when I tried it in a brown rice & quinoa blend pasta, thinking that it being pricessed would make it better. I ate a huge bowl of it with a pasta sauce. Again, in less than an hour, I was sick to my stomach.

Not sure what it is specifically that causes this problem…other things that have saponins do not seem to bother me. But this fascinating seed is not for me. 🙁

Perhaps try eating less at a time?

I used to eat quinoa regularly but started feeling off after eating it. I gave it a rest for a few years and have come back to it without a problem.

No longer. Now every time I eat Quinoa for dinner I get sick the next morning. I vomit and have horrible diarrhea for several hours having to go to the bathroom 10 to 20 times.

I’ve been sick on and off for the last month and just recently figured out that it was the Quinoa making me sick. I googled it and sure enough many other people suffered in the same way I have.

After tea, crackers and pepto, I finally started feeling better in two hours.
This is the second time I have had quinoa and the same thing happened before however I thought it was a different cause. Now I know and will stay clear of this seed.

Plus, some products have it as a secret ingredient (usually the ones who brag about “ancient grains” and “gluten free”). My mother got VIOLENTLY sick for days before realizing the “healthy” tortilla chips she bought had quinoa in them. I’m not talking itching and mild allergy symptoms. I’m talking symptoms of food poisoning.

I have never had a reaction to food before, only insect stings. I had fixed a lovely breakfast with rolled oats and other rolled grains plus quinoa, dried fruits and apple chunks. An hour later I was having heartburn and then my hands starting itching terribly. When I checked the mirror I noticed the beginnings of a rash that within a half hour was completely covering my torso. Then my feet became so intensely itchy I thought I would go mad! Since I live a half hour out of town I decided to drive to the emergency room. I thought that my throat was starting to close but the doctor said that it wasn’t swollen so I think it was irritated it by the heartburn. They gave me intravenous Benedryl and a steroid and famotidine (Pepcid).
I was so shocked that I could be having a reaction to food that I was afraid to eat anything until I could get some answers (after eating a wide variety of fruits, nuts and grains for 60 years I thought I would never have this problem). As I examined what I had eaten, the quinoa was the only thing that I had never prepared before. I didn’t realize that it was suppose to be washed first. I know that I have had quinoa in commercially prepared foods so I originally discounted it as a problem until I began reading about it on your site. Thank you for sharing, it makes it easier to identify the culprit. Now I can eat again!

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and vertigo. I still had symptoms a week later. Nothing else was different in my diet. Never again.

Interesting … doesn’t sound allergy-related though. I’d suggest you see a nutritionist to get a full picture of what you eat and how your over-all diet affects your weight and health etc. if that interests you.
