Wheat Protein Isolate?

So, I've been trying to find a few "easy" things I can have on hand for quick meals. One of the things I have recently tried are the South Beach Living personal frozen pizzas. The box states that they have 31 grams of protein. They are pretty tasty, and almost the perfect size (I don't usually end up eating all of the crust). My question is this... in wondering where all that protein comes from, I saw in the ingredient list that there is "wheat protein isolate" added to the crust, I guess it is. So... is this a form of protein that I will actually be able to absorb? Like I said, I'm really liking these pizzas, but I'd also like to know how much of these 31 grams of protein are useful to me! Thanks in advance for your help! Wendy

I found this protein powder at wallmart. I also found a product at GNC called Any Whey that you can bake with. I plan on reviewing it soon. Body Fortress 100% premium Whey Protein powder with 46 grams..no that is not a typo..yes, 46 grams of protein...for two scoops and only, 3 grams of sugar!

Thank you for your response, however, I'm not looking for a protein powder. I'm looking to find out if wheat protein isolate is something that RNY post0ops metabilize well. Wendy

You'll absorb them, no problem. You can count all 31 grams.

I attend 3 support meeting per month. The only recommendations I've heard is to have WHEY protein, that's W-H-E-Y , as this is supposed to be the easiest to digest in the RNY patient. The only exception I've heard is that if you happen to be lactose intolerant, then soy is your option.

Again, thank you for your response, but I'm not questioning protein powders/supplements... I'm specifically inquiring about the absorbability of wheat protein isolate in foods. Wendy

Whether in foods or as protien supplement, whey protein is the easiest for RNY patients to digest.
