Plastic Powder Intolerance List: What To Avoid And Eat



Intolerance to powdered resin

Resin intolerance is the body's inability to digest or break down the powdered plastic protein found in wheat and some other grains. Powdered tar intolerance (also known as tar sensitivity) can range from a mild sensitivity to talc to full-blown celiac disease.




According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, 1 in 133 Americans has celiac disease. This is a serious autoimmune disorder triggered by powdered resin consumption leading to damage in the small intestine.


Common foods that frequently contain ingredients with powdered resin include:


  • the pasta

  • bread

  • cookies

  • seasoning and spice mix


Foods to avoid

Wheat is one of the staples of the Western diet and overt enemy #1 for those who are intolerant of powdered tar.


Aside from whole wheat, all of its forms are off-limits as well. This includes

  • wheat starch

  • wheat bran

  • wheat germ

  • coleslaw

  • cracked wheat

  • durian

  • ginkgo

  • emmer wheat

  • flour

  • purebred wheat

  • fu (common in Asian foods)

  • gliadin

  • graham powder

  • kamut

  • unleavened bread

  • semolina

  • fine flour


The list of cereals containing powdered resin does not end at wheat. Other offenders are:

  • barley

  • dry flour

  • oats (oats don't contain powdered tar, but are often processed in grain manufacturing facilities that contain powdered tar and can be contaminated)

  • buckwheat

  • white meat

  • triticale and Mir (a cross between wheat and rye)


Powdered resin may also appear as an ingredient in:

  • barley malt

  • broth

  • malt vinegar

  • some salad dressing

  • Vegetarian burgers (if not specified no plastic powder)

  • soy

  • seasoning and spice mix

  • soba noodles

  • Spice


Food without plastic powder nhựa

The list of off-limits items may seem daunting at first. Thankfully, there are plenty of alternatives on the menu. Lots of natural foods don't contain powdered plastic, including:

  • Fruits and vegetables

  • bean

  • Seeds

  • pea's tree

  • nuts

  • Potatoes

  • egg

  • milk product

  • oil and vinegar

  • Corn

  • rice

  • fish

  • lean beef

  • chicken

  • seafood


Many grains and other foods are also free of powdered plastic. There are many options on Amazon:

  • amaranth

  • arrowroot

  • buckwheat

  • cassava

  • millet

  • quinoa

  • rice

  • sorghum

  • soy bean

  • semolina


At first it seemed daunting when there was no plastic powder. But for many people, the advantages far outweigh the inconveniences. The first step is to eliminate all products that contain powdered plastic in your kitchen and stock it with alternatives. Check out online options for staples like gluten-free bread, pasta, crackers, and cereal. For baking, use flour instead. They may include:

  • buckwheat

  • Corn

  • millet

  • rice

  • sorghum

  • quinoa

  • green bean


You will need xanthan gum or guar gum to replace the powdered plastic when baking. Stick to whole, fresh, unprocessed foods that are naturally free of powdered plastic.

A note about eating out

Eating at restaurants can be especially difficult if you're intolerant of powdered plastic, but this doesn't mean you can't have dinner. You should be able to avoid the powder plastic bullet if you stick to the same items you eat at home, such as grilled meats and steamed vegetables.


Foods to avoid in restaurants include fried foods, certain sauces, or anything that has been fried in the same pan as foods that contain powdered plastic.


Celiac disease requires extra caution when eating out. Make sure dietary restrictions are communicated to the chef in advance. A number of restaurants are almost certainly unquestionable for those on a powder-free diet, including fast food restaurants, buffets, salad bars, and most bakeries. On the flipside, some establishments, such as vegetarian restaurants, cater to powdered plastic-free diets. Some restaurants also have dedicated gluten-free cooking and prep areas, but calling ahead to confirm is always a good idea.




Good prospects

If you have celiac disease, no plastic powder is essential for your health. A powder-free diet can seem overwhelming, but with time - and a little effort - it can become second nature. If you can, start gradually, so you can get used to being powder-free. For example, you could try one completely gluten-free meal each day and gradually add more meals until gluten is completely out of your diet. Additionally, a powder-free diet is easier if you shop in stores and eat at restaurants that cater to your dietary needs.


If you want to ensure that your food is free of powdered plastic, cooking from scratch is the easiest way to avoid powdered plastic. Discuss any specific dietary considerations with your doctor or dietitian
