Is mock duck okay for me to eat? I assume it is, but I didn't see it listed in the typebase. I'm still trying to find my bearings and food land mines, sorry if the answer is obvious and i just don't see it!  |

I wouldn't eat it!
Mock duck, like seitan, is a gluten-based vegetarian food. It is generally made from wheat gluten and is thus high in protein. Its distinctive flavor and artificial "plucked duck" texture distinguish it from other forms of commercially available seitan. Mock duck can be found in most Oriental food stores.

I had it yesterday from a local asian restaurant with some veggies and rice, and afterwards I felt really ill and got some stomach pains that I haven't had since before I began the BTD. I thought the pains could have been from some of the other avoid foods I've eaten lately, but maybe it was the mock duck.
When I was chewing it I thought, "this doesn't taste right...maybe I'm not supposed to be eating this..." But I thought I was being obsessive and ate it anyway! |

Before we order from a restaurant, we always ask for all the ingredients in a dish. And, in asian restaurants, make sure to say
No MSG
No cornstarch
No potatostarch |

It's a huge thing in South East Asia. Most Buddhist restaurants make artificial meat dishes using seitan. The chefs are really clever in making everything from peking duck to suckling pig to drunken prawns...but unfortunately many dont know the ill effects of this product. The label "vegetarian" throws a security blanket over everyone. |

From my recollection, I believe mock duck contains whole wheat, or at least refined wheat.
If you include the list of ingredients on the mock duck food label, we will be able to assist you more accurately.

To the best of my knowledge, seitan is made from wheat gluten. According to the TypeBase, it is neutral for A secretors and AB secretors, and avoid for all the rest. |

Pretty much all "fake meat" contains wheat gluten. I've only found a very few types that don't contain it. You should assume that any mock meats you eat at restaurants are made with gluten. Most can substitute tofu if you can eat soy. |

Fake vegetarian 'meats' may also contain alot of vegetable gums and soy protein isolate.
Tofu or miso is a much 'cleaner' protein option--or even tempeh--which has a higher source of B12.

Thanks for all the responses and sharing of info! I guess I'll try to stay away from it then. I was eating it a lot back in college and trying vegetarianism for the first time (and not doing a verygood job at it either! Cheese quesadillas from taco bell were not exactly doing the body good!).
After how icky I felt, I'd rather have tofu anyway. Thanks again! |
