I have read that many banded people can not tolerate rice,bread,pasta, how do any of you find Quinoa ? We eat it in our home and I was just wondering how its handles after you are banded

Quinoa and couscous are doable for me. They also have more protein then most pasta's do. I make black bean casserole with couscous or with Quinoa and it is delish.

I can eat it with no problem. It probably helps that it is small, a little firm and easier to chew thoroughly than say noodles.

I add quinoa to almost anything. I keep it ready in fridge. I even eat with my eggs and sometimes make a play on stirred fried rice. I find it helps me feel satisfied longer.

I can eat it and love it, much easier to digest and doesn't give you that stuffed feeling like pasta does. I still can only eat about 1/3 cup at a sitting.

Love it! I toast it in the skillet first with a little EVOO, then add chicken broth, 1 part quinoa to 2 parts broth, cover, reduce heat to low, 15 min. We serve it with grilled chicken, veggies, rf sour cream on the quinoa, yum. We also add it to soup, salads. Our other new favorite is farro...
