Thank you for any information. Your shortcut to the knowledge base is here: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_a-c.htm Click on section O-S and find out that: " Since Quinoa is 60% starch, it is very illegal " Sorry about that. There are countless alternatives. Marjan Netherlands Mom to Nick, 7, SCD since jan 18 2003 http://autisme.boogolinks.nl/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Most products are listed on the legal/illegal list at www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info website. I just looked up Quinoa and this is what it said: ********************************************** Since Quinoa is 60% starch, it is very illegal. ********************************************** > Hi, I just returned from the DAN Conference in DC and I want to > start my 3 year old ASD son.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Quinoa and some of the other grain related items like spelt and millet are not legal. many appetizing things can be made using nut flours.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 it also has saponnin which is diffcult to remove satisfactoraly. the whole issue with grains is not simply complex carbs but the fact they are designed for dry storage and pest resistance when growing and are full of immune modulators and poisons to give bugs fungses and viruses a hard time. its not appreciated that plant foods used by earLy humans were bred from the wild not just or yield but reduced toxcity which has been reversed in the last two hundred yeaRS AS INCREASED TOXCICTY HAS BEEN BRED BACK with the increasing dislocation between growers and crop eaters who are not the growers. mel gibson is on spectrum by the way as evidenced by a catholic making am movie that promotes atheism. > Welcome to the " jac2152003 " > > > Hi, I just returned from the DAN Conference in DC and I want to > > start my 3 year old ASD son.
