Pea Protein

I read this article with interest, it made me think back to August when I tried my first, and last, Vegan Magnum. It tasted lovely but I was poorly during the evening and night and didn't know why. I had a thought which made me check the ingredients in the Magnum and lo and behold it had Pea Protein in it.

I cannot eat peas hence reacting to the pea protein. Do they have to put it in so much Vegan food. I make nearly all my own food but occasionally fancy a treat but there's not much I can buy.

Good morning Alicia,

This is a very interesting point, I have noticed that pea protein is used is so much of the vegan foods, which in time I think may result in people having reactions - after all intolerances/Allergies are those foods we are exposed to very often. In one of my Intolerance books it advised that eating the same food twice in 24 hours could be enough to start the ball rolling.

I think to be safe we really do have to do so much cooking by scratch. I do love those Vegan Almond Magniums and would hate to have to give those up as well.

It feels like whatever we eat is wrong

Best wishes

Debs

Hi Debs

It is certainly used a lot I noticed that when looking at labels on the Vegan Food in Tesco so just put it back on the shelf.

I never thought of eating these and food twice in 24 hours could cause a reaction pardon the pun but that's food for thought.🤔

Cooking from scratch is definitely the safest option.

I really enjoyed the Magnum but it's not to be, I'll have to make my own.😋

Oh. I’ve just bought some of these. My mum said she read an article which said the more foods you give up the more chance you have of having allergies. I wonder if that’s true?

You've said something very interesting there Ali, now that's a very good point and definitely worth a thought. 🤔

I wonder if there is truth in that, the amount of food I have to give up is unbelievable and the list justs grows and grows. I think I may start trying to reintroduce things slowly

in reply toKitten-whiskers

It does make you wonder Debs, something I didn't think about when posting the article. A good idea to reintroduce foods you've not eaten for a while.

Although maybe not Gluten, that was something I tried last year - it did back fire

in reply toKitten-whiskers

Now that is one that I would be worried about re-introducing although I am now successfully making my own Spelt Sourdough which the IBS Network recommended as it's a lot lower in Fructans. :)

That is such an achievement, Gluten free bread - definately an art. My GF bread is not edible, its like a brick 😀

in reply toKitten-whiskers

Thank you Debs. I've made GF bread but this sourdough, which is a lot lower in fructans that normal flour, worked a treat. Here's the link to the recipe and instructions.
