I eat steel cut oats. Because I may have otoliths in my ear, I cannot eat almond flour or other nuts. I have heard very good things about quinoa.

Thank you for the information about steel cut oats, NewtScamander . I didn't know that they help with otoliths and other ear issues. :-)

Have you tried Quinoa as a rice substitute on the side or as the main part of a meal? :-)

Steel cut oats seem to be a better choice than nut flours for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. I want to try quinoa but I have trouble cooking them, and don't know yet how to incorporate them in a daily diet.

Quinoa is a rice substitute and can also be used in baking different types of food. You can also add it as a topping for certain bread/desserts so that they are having more protein and less carb.. What is your favorite type of meal/food? You can see if it can be added to that. :-)

I am Asian so we generally eat rice with vegetables and fish or meat. We don't eat much baked goods. I would like to eat quinoa but apparently it takes longer to cook and is more difficult to digest than rice, which is why I'm hesitating.

That's okay. Not all foods/drinks will agree with everyone in the same way. :-)

Chickpeas are very healthy and a good suggestion for using as a different type of low carb. flour. :-) What do you bake/cook with the chickpea flour? :-)

WE use grains, it is better then manmade flour, over cook grains and it gets very soft to eat. Making items from manmade flour is not good as grains cooked soft.
