I was wondering that if it isn't from cows, then what is it from vegetables (wheat)?

thanks for helping me out.

Gelatin is made from animal tissue, not vegetables. If it is non-bovine in origin, it is most likely to be porcine. There are religious and cultural issues for some people, but it is gluten-free.

You can also use agar-agar as a vegetarian/vegan replacement for gelatin. It is extracted from seaweed and does the same thing.

It's more expensive than gelatin though.

I tested intolerant to beef and haven't challenged it yet. Do you know if gelatin would be a problem with a beef intolerance? I've tried to stay away from nutritional supplements that have gelatin, but it is difficult to find certain supplements that don't contain it.

I don't know if a beef intolerance would extend to gelatin. Gelatin is made from connective tissue (collagen) found in cartilage and skin. It is not derived from the meat we mean when we commonly speak of "beef."

      Using a pressure cooker will break down Lectins.  Long cooking times as in using a crock pot will also reduce Lectin content.   However, having tried both, going lectin free for a few weeks is like a vacation for my digestive system.  I do hope you give the AIP diet a try.  I understand that changing ones diet takes a lot of mental readjustment which is difficult, but it's really worth the effort for long-term health.

      Depending on which source you research sprouting or fermentation can reduce lectins. I sprout rice, buckwheat and quinoa. However, I admit that gas and intestinal inflammation still plague me after 5 1/2 mo gluten-free. I have been resisting but I may try the aip diet at some point.

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link).  For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a professional, trustworthy resource. https://www.nutritionist-resource.org.uk/ I hope this helps.

      thank you knitty kitty. I will give those articles a read. Yes he is deficient in Iron and Vit D, that is all they tested for. Do you have any tips for finding a pediatric nutritionalist? He has an NHS dietician who has been helpful sending me generalised info on increasing Iron and cutting out dairy but they won't see him now for another year and I feel like I need more support than that...

      Yes,  Lisinopril gave me an inguinal hernia from the persistant cough. Amlodipine doubled urine output and dry eyes so I could not wear contacts, another had me walking bent over like a ninety year old and one knocked out control of my quadracepts so knees would give out.  None lowered my blood pressure. Average BP  132/67 for Oct 21 - 26.  Lowest was 100/59. High 157/62.
