Can someone tell me why TVP is on the forbidden list? I thought it was made of soy. Where's the gluten?

I use it a lot in place of ground meat....

Thanks for the help in advance!

I'm not sure as far as gluten is concerned. The only thing I could think of is CC issues.

TVP is a form of msg due to the way it is processed from what I remember. Check out truthinlabeling.com if you want more info on hidden msg.

I'm going out on a limb on this one...but if I remember correctly, its that TVP is only a problem if you don't know the source (of the vegetable, which, if it is soy, should be fine).

Anyone else have any insight?

I had thought that it was made from wheat gluten, but I could be wrong. You could try a google search and see if anything turns up.

Some brands are gluten-free. Bob's Red Mill is and is made in their gluten-free facility.

It is usually made of soy but can be made of other things. Why anyone would want to eat it is beyond me though. *Remembers not so fondly, the large bag of ham flavored TVP my dad bought when I was a kid* Blech!

I am wondering if there are two different kinds? I just bought Bob's Red Mill Brand of TVP and it has their registered Gluten Free symbol on the Package. I have not used it yet but I want to try some recipes for it and see it we like it. I wouldn't use any that wasn't labelled gluten free because of all the contraversy around it.

I went to the site but? A couple of years ago I read Russell Blaylock's MD "Excitotoxins" which was a fantastic book on brain damaging substances/excitotoxins like MSG and I will have to check the book for any info on this but how is TVP a form of MSG? I really can't tolerate MSG and just bought some gluten-free TVP. ?????? Please explain. Thanks

Hey

I'm just newly diagnosed and as a vegetarian who uses TVP I've been struggling. I am so glad I came across this forum and this thread...I am going to now look for gluten free tvp by Bob's Red Mill (I'm assuming this can be found in Canada....)

In the Toronto area, most Loblaw stores carry a selection of gluten-free items, including Bob's Red Mill.

I think I read a question on how to beef up on protein and I could not reply ; We are mostly vegetarian and to keep up on protein we for example:

We eat a salad with toasted pumpkin seeds -2T is a good boost - I toast my own seeds as they taste better than the toasted salted ones. I just throw them in the oven for 7-8 minutes at 350F

We also sprinkle sunflower seeds and for pasta dishes we love pine nuts. Do you like lentils? I find them easier to create quick meals with. The red lentils will make a soup in a 30-40 minutes. If you want a recipe or any more ideas let me know. It is hard to know what to post - it depends on what one likes but I find getting fiber and protein is important and the nuts and seeds really help here.

Hey!

YES - I would love some tips and recipes. I have been a vegetarian for almost 7 years, but I admit my recipe base is small and I did rely upon faux meat products that I have discovered are full of wheat gluten in order to beef up the protein. The sunflower seeds on salad is a great idea I just didn't think about. I"d love any recipes related to fiber and protein and I do like lentils!!! THanks songstressc

Here are a couple of recipes; These recipes are filled with fiber ie the lentils and veggees and lots of protein. I have a list of items and apices to stock kitchens with. Let me know if you would like it. These are basic recipes; you can adjust to your tastes. I hope this is clear; I also don't know how much you know so let me know if you have questions.

What to do with Lentils! I like to serve this soup with a homemade cornbread muffin

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
