Vegetarian and gluten free!!?

Question

I have a gluten intolerance and have recently decided to go veggo (not vegan though). I have researched essential amino acids ect and I know of some grains such as quinoa which contain all of these. However I was wondering if anybody with the same circumtances has any tips. Thanks :P

Answer 1

You may want to look at http://www.celiac.org/ and http://www.celiac.com/ to help you find grains and products that are safe. You also may want to talk to a dietitian or nutritionist to make sure you are going to be able to maintain a healthy diet. Most pre-made veggie products (e.g. frozen meat replacements) do contain gluten.

Answer 2

most veggie burgers and things are gluten free.

and there are amino acids in every fruit and vegetable until they are cooked.

if you want some really good recipes, u can buy this brand of TVP(textured vegetable protein) at food lion and healthfood stores

its just soy protein

Answer 3

No, most veggie burgers ARE NOT gluten free. A lot of vegetarian meat alternatives have wheat in them even as the first ingredient. My sister is gluten intolerant and she found gluten free veggie burgers go to http://sunshineburger.com/ they're pretty good--not meant to taste like meat, but vegetables.

Answer 4

Floradix. I'm pretty sure its gluten free and its got a lot of iron in it which some vegetarians lack. I'm a vegetarian and i take this.

Answer 5

check out kinnikinnik (not sure if it's spelled right) breads and foods. they make gluten free bread, pizza crusts, pretzels, brownies + cookies........and the best part is that they don't taste much different from the real stuff!!

good luck

Answer 7

i've been vegetarian for a few years now and was just recently diagnosed with celiacs. it's really not as difficult as it seems to follow a gluten free/ vegetarian diet.

here are some things i eat 1-2 (sometimes more) times a week:

+quinoa (actually very good in soups)

+potatoes (baked or grilled)

+rice (brown rice has more nutrients than white)

+egg whites

+corn tortillas

the b***h of it is mostly eating out, because of the cross contamination, etc, as you probably know.

and eating salad gets old.

homemade soups are really good too, esp. like i said with quinoa or rice

i don't know who published it but there's a book i once saw called The Gluten Free Vegan... look it up on amazon, maybe it will help you.

Good luck!
