Beyond Meat

Hey all,

So I've been vegan for about 10 years, and gluten free for a little bit longer. I do not know if I have celiac's disease or non-celiac's gluten sensitivity. I saw a kinda quack-y naturopath when I was in college who told me to stop eating gluten and it changed my life (I later learned he tells everyone that lol).

The past couple years I have been having an issue where I get all hot and sweaty at night and can't sleep. This happens when I have gluten as well and has made me super paranoid about cross contamination. I've finally figured out that this happens when I have Beyond Meat (which sucks cause I love the stuff). I think I might have the same issue with Impossible Meat but I'll need to do more experimenting.

I'm wondering if anyone else has issues with Beyond Meat or thoughts on what it might be related to.

My diet is getting super restricted...I have also cut out nuts and am careful about tomatoes.

Thanks!

Are you still eating oats?

I know that Beyond Meat is gluten-free, and the main ingredients is pea protein, which is a legume. The only allergen warning I see on their sits is this one, is it possible you have an allergy?

*Peas are legumes. People with severe allergies to legumes like peanuts should be cautious when introducing pea protein into their diet because of the possibility of a pea allergy. Contains no peanuts or tree nuts.

Very rarely. If I do, I get Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Oats.

Hmm... I do have an issue with nuts. When I was in college they pressured me into getting onto the meal plan despite my resistance and then served me a lot of gluten, since then I get constipated if I eat too many. I'm sensitive to everything lol.

Also, coconut makes my mouth itchy. I'm not sure if coconut oil is an issue though? I didn't realize beyond meat has coconut oil in, thanks for posting that ingredients link. I'll have to experiment.

Reaction to oats can be caused by the oat protein itself, not an CC with gluten.

Sounds like a hormonal issue. Does Beyond Meat have soy? I don’t have any research handy, but in researching hormonal issues through the years, I read many times to avoid soy.

My functional med doc has me on elimination diet to try to help the autoimmune issues. No soy, dairy, corn and of corse gluten to start.

Beyond Meat does not have soy. I don't seem to have any issues with soy from what I can tell. One of the few meals I know I can eat without triggering this has tofu in it.

Gotcha. I haven't had oats in a few weeks and am still having this issue.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
