Any food with a score of 55 or less falls in the low-glycemic range, 56 to 69 puts it in the moderate-glycemic category, and 70 or above represents a high-glycemic item. Quinoa has a glycemic index score of 53, based on a 150-gram serving, or a little less than 1 cup of cooked quinoa. This serving size contains 32 grams of total carbohydrates, including 1 gram of sugar. Most of these carbs come from complex carbohydrates, like starch.
Quinoa contains 10 g of dietary fiber per cup. Considering that the average adult is recommended to consume between 20 and 35 g of fiber daily, one cup provides a substantial amount. If your body isn't accustomed to a lot of fiber in your diet, eating a lot of quinoa can lead to gas, bloating and stomach pain. Too much fiber can cause increased gas and abdominal pain because the bacteria in your colon isn't used to digesting the amount of fiber in quinoa. Avoid high fiber foods for a few days to see if your stomach pain subsides.
