Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | problems with gluten-free products

Hi,

I gather that the gluten-free products in the US are different from the ones we can get here in Europe, but do you also find that gluten free products are a bit tricky sometimes? The problem is they don't tell you the fiber content on the packet, possibly because they don't expect people with celiac to have any problems with fiber. I tried out this lovely gluten-free corn bread for a while, it gives me a small amount of bloating. But it doesn't look like wholemeal bread, but corn is yellow,isn't it, so maybe you can't judge it from its appearance??

Anyway now I've recently discovered a very bland and very white gluten free bread which I can eat without any problems. So I got brave and yesterday I solemnly ate three forkfulls of gluten free spagetti - they were absolutely delicious (after one year of just rice) BUT later in the afternoon I got bad bloating (and I'm normally more or less bloating free with my diet). Again too much insoluble fiber? Again they were very light and didn't look at all like wholemeal. The ingredients are as follows:
maize starch
maize flour
rice flour
pea proteine isolate

Could the latter be the culprit? What IS pea proteine isolate?? Any ideas?
