Ive been reading a lot about quinoa. Is it safe for RNY patients?

It seems very nutritional and is a complete protein but is it a feasible substitute for rice and grains on our diets?

Yes, quinoa is a good substitute for rice or other grains in your diet.  I did a post on this and other grains a few months ago but can't seem to locate it now.  I'll keep looking.

Here's a post Melania answered before about Quinoa.  It may be the one she was looking for.  I hope it helps. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/nutrition/a,messageboard/a ction,replies/board_id,5389/cat_id,4989/topic_id,3434798/
