Heather wrote that it is safe, am still not entirely sure what it is, but is it safe as in it can be eaten on its own?

It is a wonderful food source of protein and lots of options for taste variations. Here is a link to explain what it is and your first recipe to give it a try. I use it often because I am extremely reactive to whole grain wheat, but I am not gluten free, just sensitive. Enjoy!

I don't believe Heather said it was safe. She says "brown rice, oatmeal, buckwheat (soba) noodles, corn meal (polenta), quinoa, and barley - the whole grains that are safest for IBS"
It is still a whole grain with more IF than SF. You will have to figure out if you can or cannot handle it. To be on the safe side have more SF foods with it.

I thought all those could be eaten on their own, provided they are well-cooked?

Yep! The devil is always in the detail.

So can it theoretically be eaten on its own if it's well cooked??
After all we eat porridge on its own, although IF content may be lower there?

It is likely something you may have to try and see how it works for you.

Hi,
All I can tell you is that quinoa was a great staple for my daughter in the bad times (and you might recall her bad times were rather horrible!). Once she was able to eat a bit, she was able to eat quinoa on its own, the same way as cooked white rice - and I cooked it extra soft, the same way I would cook rice for her. We ate quinoa before she got ibs, so luckily it wasn't something she had to get used to, in her case. My whole family likes quinoa, plain or otherwise, and one of my daughter's favorite ways to eat it is plain w/a little Bragg's liquid aminos or a little soy sauce. Some people apparently cook it really soupy and use it like a breakfast porridge, but we use it as a dinner thing. I've also used it in soups and as a grain salad (although I imagine one's ibs should probably be pretty stable before you try it that way).

thanks for that, let's hope it is true in my case as well, it is very healthy and would be good if it was a good SF base

Kem!
so this is just to confirm, your daughter could eat quinoa as a SF base??
I was rather disheartened to read this:
http://www.quinoa.net/11301.html
I cook it extra soft and if I cool it there must be resistant starch on it as a result but that is still a lot of IF...

I definitely have eatten quinoa on it's own without any problems....it's something we have a few times per week at our house.
It has a different nutty flavor to it, but I add a little soy sauce to it (not much!) and love it. My husband and I actually make breakfasts out of it as well.
Take cooked quinoa with a little soy milk, add some honey and finely chopped raisins and a little brown sugar.
Quinoa is very good for you and filling, as it also has a high protein content, which is very rare for a grain.

Yes, all I can tell you is that she was able to eat it even in the worst of times. I hadn't read up on the SF/IF ratio before I tried it out on her - maybe I, too, might have hesitated! I just decided to try it because it is so much like rice to me - always felt easy to digest and a sort of 'comfort food,' plus I was looking for easily digested protein. For a while there she was eating it a lot.
good luck w/it,
kem

Awh sorry to hear raisins don't work for you! They are on the 'yellow' column so for me, as long as I cut them up and have them with the quinoa I'm fine.
Always depends on the person I guess!
Enjoy your day!

thanks, maybe you eat small amounts?
I steer clear of dried fruit in general, on account of the fructose but they are even higher in IF than normal fruits.
I really do hope quinoa works for me too, I love it and it's so healthy! thanks again for your reply.
