  Gluten is totally vegetarian. Gluten is a protein in wheat and many other grains. That's what helps the formation of an elastic dough for the likes of rotis, pizza, etc. In fact, a mock-meat product called 'seitan' is made from this and is extensively used by vegetarians and vegans, especially in the west. Hope this helps.

  G,
  I think you getting confuse with Gluten and Gelatin. Gluten is veg. as explained by RG.
  Gelatin is non veg made from bones & skin. Most known product that made of Gelatin is "Jell-O"
