Use of "Textured Vegetable/Soy Protein" in recipes?

I notice quite a few "vegan" recipes here.   I am vegetarian.  I am wondering if any of you use, or have tried using, "Textured Vegetable Protein" (TVP) or "Textured Soy Protein" in your recipes.  Does it cause any of the stomach pain, or other side effects, associated with celiac?  These proteins, as I understand it, are produced much the same way that gluten is, so I'm leery of using them.  

 

Any suggestions for alternatives to TVP or TSP will be greatly appreciated. 

 

I just started making my own veggie burgers and merely leave out TVP or TSP.  But, I want to make breakfast and Italian "sausage" and can not think of an alternative as a base.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

 

Thank you for any sharing of experiences and help.

Jack Fruit, has the same texture as meat. Use Naked Jackfruit for a roast texture extra tender, Upton has a tough meat texture. Grind it up for homemade sausage in a meat grinder, you can texture it a bit with ground flax seed, cumin adds a meaty flavor.  I use the stuff all the time in my recipes I currently have huge batches of various flavors in my freezer where I make it 2lbs at a time. As for actual protein I use protein shakes via various brands on the side, nuts, seeds, and the only animal product that does not bother me egg whites.

Rough chopped the naked brand can be seasoned with chili powder and cumin and used in vegan burritos and talmales, Mixed with BBQ sauce it is a EXACT match full pulled pork/roast.

An aside, but "Textured Vegetable Protein" is no longer allowed in ingredient lists in Canada. The vegetable must be specifically named.

Hmmm, interesting.  That's a good policy!

      It took me 2015 to 2021 at 10,000 IU a day to get to 80 ng/ml. In 2019 I was still only 47 ng/ml The highest it has reached is 93.  Tested every 3 months.     While a one time massive dose can be used to quickly raise vitamin D levels, its effects only last three months.  Because vitamin D is stored in fat, an obese person would require more to raise blood level.     Effect of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation on Volumetric Bone Density and Bone Strength   The point of higher vitamin D is for the mental health and immune system requirements.  Also this study included supplementing calcium.  "Research suggests that women with low levels of vitamin D have a higher risk of breast cancer. Vitamin D may play a role in controlling normal breast cell growth and may be able to stop breast cancer cells from growing." This information is provided by Breastcancer.org. https://www.breastcancer.org/risk/risk-factors/low-vitamin-d-levels Higher vitamin D levels have been consistently associated with reduced risks of colorectal cancer https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/diet/vitamin-d-fact-sheet

      Contaminated cooking oils

      By Jsingh · Posted

      I am asking for my six year old. It took us four months to figure out what was going on- a brand of extra virgin olive oil we were using for every meal. We changed the brand she instantly got better- from Gi to nephropathy to joint pain, to tinnitus to dry eyes. You name a symptom and she has it when glutened, so it's difficult to second guess when it's all so obvious. Anyway, two months later, i bought another bottle of the same brand, and the olive oil was sourced form 5 different countries, as opposed to one. It took exactly a month for her symptom to start all over again. And sure enough it was the oil! I am sorta getting tired of trying to get these "healthy" oils glutening her. Does anyone have any thought on cooking oils that they think for sure are not contaminated, or any certified glutenfee brands they suggest? I'd appreciate. At this point, I just need any oil that's free of contamination- healthy or otherwise. Healthier is better. But i'll tkae anything. Thanks
