Quote: Hi, I have been reading on the website for a few days and some here on the forum. I did a search but did not pull anything up about my question. I am celiac and would like to know if the gluten free grains are soluble fiber? That depends. All grains, being GF or not have a certain percentage of both soluble and insoluble fiber. You want to work with the grains that have the highest percentage of soluble fiber. I am suspecting yes, since quinoa is soluble. I want to make some bread with Amaranth flour. Unfortunately Amaranth ranks up there with whole wheat flour with only 35% soluble fiber and the rest being insoluble. Best to stick with white rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch flour and yes, quinoa flour at first-- as you stabilize you can safely mix Amaranth flour in with the other flours that are higher in soluble fiber. I have been trying this diet for the past 2 days.Don't really know if I have IBS or not, but something is happening to my gut! IBS is definitely associated with CD so it is likely you have both. You picked the right diet to settle things down, you just have to pick gluten free grains instead of wheat/barley or oat based ones. Kandee
