Just be careful - some Buckwheat pre-packaged foods also contain regular wheat, but you have to read the ingredients to find out.

- I find the best use of raw buckwheat groats is to add to soups just about 20 minutes before eating. Just be sure there is enough liquid to cover the amount added.
Buckwheat groats (whole kernel)can take the place of barley (which does contain gluten) in a nice vegetable / beef soup, in a chicken soup and even in a miso soup.
Mix some cooked buckwheat in with an egg and canned wild caught red / sockeye salmon, chives, etc. for a salmon pattie.
Also nice, chilled, added to a cold veggie salad. -

Just found out about a great wheat flour alternative, almond flour...it's low carb. Unfortunately high in fat though, but is a good protein source and has fiber.

It doesn't give you yeast?

- Catgirl,
Almond "flour" is not a flour at all but really just finely ground nuts. Same with coconut "flour" but always check the label to be absolutely sure no refined flours are added.
It's not at all unfortunate that almonds are high in fat. We NEED fats and in a pretty good amount. Fats from nuts are excellent fats.
Buckwheat is a legume, from the family of beans.
Along with good proteins, veggies, and good fats, a moderate or small amount of buckwheat with a meal is not going to give anyone yeast.
However, if someone already has a candida infection, it would be best to stick with smaller portions and only with the WHOLE GROATS (they take longer to digest than if ground).
There is a difference of opinion in the various candida diets but, in my experience - along with other real food - the whole groats, seeds like quinoa and millet and grasses like wild and black rice that helped my get over candida and, most especially, helped me to normalize sharp drops in blood sugar.
Vegetables, alone, as my main complex carbohydrate source would just not last long enough for me. I needed more longevity from my food. Whole non-gluten "grains" do that for me.
Even diabetics are advised to eat these kind of whole grains (which really are not grains at all but somehow get stuck in that category).
For candida, I also found Olive Leaf Extract to be the main helper. -

Wow, Keebler, I had now idea. Thanks!
I do eat a lot of quinoa. I think the only reason yeast doesn't like it is because it has a natural pesticide on it (saponin).
I am sensitive to getting yeast. My ob thinks I may have lichen sclerosus, but I think it's just a tiny bit of yeast (does not look anything like lichens).
Hi Lymetoo . What are your thoughts on the buckwheat and almond?

Lichen sclerosus is known to be caused by "spirochetes" (aka, Lyme) in at least some cases.
But if you still think it is yeast, you can apply some natural, plain yogurt to the area topically to help to kill off the yeast...

BTW, those with legume allergies (soy, peanuts) may need to avoid buckwheat... Legumes can cross-react with each other, depending on what specific proteins are causing the allergy for a person.
