sdsurfer Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 What do you guys think of Vital Wheat Gluten? I started eating some "Unchicken" that's really high in protein and low in everything else (carbs, fats, etc.). Just wondering if there is anything bad about eating too much of Vital Wheat Gluten?

Jay Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Could develop a wheat gluten allergy eventually. Also don't really need all that protein in such a processed unnatural form. I wouldn't eat it more than 2 or 3 times per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Couldn’t you develop an allergy to anything over time? Is wheat gluten a complete protein? I also wouldn’t think it would be any more processed then soy. But then again I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Also if you have Celiac Disease do not eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeB Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I dont think wheat is a complete protein, it also is very low in the digestibility scale...or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wouldn’t think it would be any more processed then soy. But then again I don’t know. Wheat is a greater allergy risk than most foods. Soy is also a risk actually. (I'm slightly allergic to soy.) I've never heard of anyone becoming allergic to beans, lentils, rice, quinoa, fruits, etc, etc most foods. Complete protein really shouldn't be a concern for anyone eating in a remotely healthy manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
