[Memimck1]

Hi so i want to eat quron prosucts lie their vegetarian chicken and things but thwy all have mycoprotein in them...

What actually is this? Can others tolerate it or is it maybe wise to avoid?

All experiences helpful. Thank you

FROM THEIR WEBSITE : Rather than using livestock, we take a natural nutritious fungus from the soil and ferment it to produce a dough called Mycoprotein™. It’s high in protein, high in fibre, low in saturated fat...

Yeah but what does this mean... is it suitable for a an ibs diet or could the fungus be irritating??

[alicemarsh in reply to Memimck1]

Not sure probably best to wait to see if anyone else replies. Often IBS is so individual that it may be OK for some people and not others who have IBS. I would try it once and see if it affects you, or wait to see if anyone else has other views.

I don't know I've never had mushrooms... I know I can't tolerate soya...

Just looked on the link ... thank you... it says

Note; most Quorn™ products are unsuitable for coeliac sufferers and people who are gluten intolerant since they contain either roasted barley malt extract (brown products), wheat ingredients, or are made in factories which handle wheat ingredients

Lucky you showed me this because I am highly sensitive to barley malt extract ... you just saved me from a lot of sickness thank you 😊
