So my wife and I are new to this and had a few questions...
1. I've seen that Brown rice pasta is ok? Does this transfer to other things as well? For instance, I've seen brown rice syrup as a sweetener, is that ok? What about brown rice flour?
2. What am I looking for when buying vegetarian meat? Is wheat gluten ok? Or is that a no-no?
Technically you are not supposed to have pasta until Phase III----You can look through the Phase I FAQ's but I've also directly quoted it for you below

From Jen: Trader Joe's makes a pasta that's made of Brown Rice and water, would that be permitted during any of the phases where we aren't eating pasta?
NO. IT'S ONLY ALLOWED IN PHASE III AND BEYOND. BEST, DR. IAN-
So along with that I would say "no" to the brown rice syrup or flour. I am not an expert but I believe you should try and stay away from any flours and sweetners during Phase I. You are allowed up to 2TBL I believe of artificial sweetners but only if you really need them.

Gluten = Bad ?
