Joy, this is interesting to me because I seem to have very similar reactions. I have had very adverse reactions to both quinoa and morel mushrooms. No other mushroom has had the same effect and I have eaten several wild and domesticated varieties. I’m a little late on this reply, but I hope you get a chance to see it.

Different brands have causedan this reaction. The rest of the family was fine. He also, before the first quinoa reaction, developed a severe reaction to some type od wild mushroom. We are not sure what what type of mushrooms actually bother him because it was always a wild mushroom blend. This mushroom allergy developed approximately 3 years ago. The quinoa allergy developed about 1 year ago…

Interesting … thanks for that idea. With the growing demand for quinoa, I always expected that traditional farming methods had been dropped for more modern methods that boost production but reduce plant nutrients.

What a terrible shame that something known for it’s health giving properties should be ruined by a fungus. Remember that copper sprayed on grapes cures a fungus there. The fathers of soil minerals balancing, William Albrecht and our contemporary, Neal Kinsey, have learned that the minerals available in the soils allows the plants to make protein and enzymes. One of the biggest deficiencies of Albrecht’s time was magnesium deficiency, which caused a wide variety of disease, and death in many species of livestock. Copper and sulfur fight parasites in livestock and fungus in plants. I am willing to bet that copper and sulfur added to quinoa crop soils (also dolomite- calcium and magnesium) would do some good to prevent mycotoxin infections of the plants. And by virtue of our eating it, would reduce the number of reactions in humans.

I’m not sure if it was psychosomatic from reading literally hundreds of comments from people who thought they were allergic to quinoa, or if I was truly developing an allergy. Actually, I never really believed that so many people were suddenly allergic to quinoa, this never really made sense to me. Katherine’s theory is interesting and it makes sense. Mean while, after years of cutting out quinoa, I’ve been eating it again with no problems.
