I know this message is way old, but I found it because I was doing alittle research this morning. I had quinoa for dinner in a savory meal last night, and as a cereal this morning. I am friggin’ exhausted!!! I’m sleepy, my eyes feel dry, and I have brain fog.
Maybe I’ll stay away from it or at least try the rinsing.
Thanks for posting.
]]>Getting tired is a typical allergy symptom. Then again, this is normal if you are fighting something like a cold or the flu. You may have no symptoms, get lots of sleep, and successfully fight off the bug. So I wouldn’t jump to conclusions right away. Quinoa is supper-healthy for most people, despite the number of reactions reported here.
