Hi Eugenia,

Quite a few MC patients have trouble with quinoa. Up until a few years ago, it was notorious for being cross-contaminated with gluten. If you buy only Kosher brands, it should be safe (at least if should be free of gluten). However, it's somewhat high in oxalate content, and some MC patients have a problem with foods that have a high oxalate content, especially when they are still reacting.

Some members here avoid products with that disclaimer, and some eat them anyway. I wouldn't take a chance on them if I were trying to recover, for the simple reason that they might keep me from ever recovering.

Safflower oil is safe for most of us.

The more processed foods we eat, the less likely we are to ever reach remission.
