Do I need to add wheat gluten to all recipes?

Pass the Toast - FAQ
Not at all. However,this product is a pure protein and I have found that by adding a small amount to some recipes the end result is better. NO.due to the fact that there is no starch in this product it will not thicken foods like soups and gravy. We suggest Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum for this purpose.

How can I convert wheat based recipes to gluten-free?

FAQ
To replace 2 Tbsp (wheat) flour as a thickener, use 1 Tbsp cornstarch , 1 1/2 Tbsp sweet rice flour, or 2 Tbsp of gluten-free flour mix. It is necessary to stir these flours with a bit cold liquid before heating otherwise the starch will make little lumps that will not mix in. Cornstarch has no noticeable flavor and is preferred when a clear (not cloudy) sauce such as sweet and sour sauce is desired.

Those 70 units of flour are about 10 percent- 15 percent protein, thus about 7 to 10 units of protein for 100 units of whole wheat.

In April 2007, pet food manufacturers in South Africa recalled dry cat and dog food made with corn gluten that was contaminated with melamine and imported from China. There is no evidence that contaminated corn gluten was imported in the United States for pet food production.

That may not be necessary. It's true that some dogs (and some cats) are allergic or sensitive to wheat gluten and they should have a wheat-free diet. If you suspect that your dog is sensitive you should ask your vet for advice. Alternatively, eliminate wheat from the diet for about six weeks to see if that makes a difference or not.
