Millet?

[Spanglymum]

My hosts in India (I'm going there on business tomorrow - eek!) have been so sweet about my low carb woe - but they're asking me about quinoa, buckwheat, foxtail millet and pearl millet. I'm assuming it's a "no" for all of them, carbs-wise?

(I don't want to be awkward but on the other hand if I can manage to have a low carb meal I'd prefer it!)

I was going to suggest no grains, cauliflower or other non-starchy vegetables instead?

Sorry they are all grains/seeds and pretty high carb (although some say millet better than other grains as apparently doesn't have gluten). I tested quinoa the other day and it did indeed make me bloated and uncomfortable.

Easiest to say avoiding all grains and root vegetables. Although there are a few below ground veggies that are ok, mostly covers it.
