Legume Allergies

[Guest guest]

I have been lacto-vegetarian for about 2 months and I am now interested in

becoming totally vegan. There is one problem however, I have an extremely severe

allergy to legumes (i.e. peanuts, peas, beans, alfalfa, and soy

derivatives-including soybean oil.) Yes, I have to carry the " epi-pen " around.

I was wondering if there was a way for me to get my recommended ~80+ grams of

protein per day and still be vegan? Could someone possibly give me some

recommendations for alternatives to legume products that would supply the 9

essential amino acids required.

Are you allergic to all types of nuts? other types of nuts might suffice. Also

Seitan, which is wheat-protein, is quite high in protein (but also gluten if

you're sensitive to that). Are there any types of sprouts you're not allergic

to? Some vegetables are fairly protein-rich, IIRC Broccoli is about 50% protein

for instance.

I'm not sure if 80 grams is necesary for everybody, it's relative to body-weight

I guess.

 

If I have any more ideas I'll let you know.
