NOTE: If you use water INSTEAD of the vegetable broth to cook the bulgar wheat/quinoa then ADD 2 teaspoons of salt to the water when cooking.
If raw onions do not agree with you, try sautéing they onion for 5-6 minutes instead of adding it raw. Sautéing the onion breaks down the natural chemical process in the onion that upsets people’s stomachs.
