Somewhere in my little pea brain, I also recall that wild rice isn't really a rice. Anyone know more?

Lessee, amaranth is not a grass, it's more related to lamb's quarters (yes, the weed) than anything else I can think of. It cooks much like a "real" grain though.
Quinoa, I don't think is a grass, either.
Wild rice isn't a "real" rice, but is a grass.
All three are "New World" crops.
Does that help?
As to whether or not Corsair can tolerate them, I'd guess some very careful experimentation is in order. I'd take any excess quinoa off her hands if it doesn't work for her.

What a Ride!"

Instead of taters or rice can you eat squash, like acorn, butternut, spaghetti squash?
They can be filling; you can 1/2 'em and bake 'em like a tater or cube 'em and steam them, eat them cubed or mash them. And you can season them with whatever your palette desires.
spazzno regrets!

Yep, most grains are. Corn is just a Very Big grass - as is bamboo. Amaranth is the only grain (a very minor one) that I can think of at the moment that isn't.Wild Rice is a grass??Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

Corsair, why doesn't the same sugar conversion problem happen with fruits? Seems they would be even more of a sugar spike producer. Sounds like you are on the caveman (cavewoman) diet. A friend had this recommended to her recently - only fruits, vegs, and meat to help reduce her reactions to foods. Can you eat beans/legumes like lentils or are they too starchy or allergenic as well? You poor girl - life without pasta! Waaah!
