Any feedback will be appreciated, and if it's not gf anymore, any ideas which kind can I use? I know you all understand how frustrating this is and to see your children hurt is just not good Thanks everyone. Girami

I thought that soy beans were on the no-no list. Aren't soy beans listed with the foods that contain gluten?

The majority of soy sauces contain wheat, but I thought the soy beans themselves were a no.

I only use San-J wheat free tamari sauce any more. It is clearly labeled wheat free and I have never had a problem with it. Shirleybutterfly wrote: I thought that soy beans were on the no-no list.

San-J Tamari is made from soybeans, so, therefore, soybeans cannot contain gluten (unless you rub them with some flour). LaChoy is made from soybeans as well. I have eaten both and had no problems with either.

The only gluten-containing grains are

wheat, barley and rye. Oats can be a problem because of cross-contamination in

both the fields and factories. Soy is not a gluten problem, though some people

are sensitive to soy for other reasons.

Soybeans do not contain gluten. Some people are allergic to soy, but

that is a completely separate issue from gluten intolerance. I use

soy based soy sauce (LaChoy, San-J, and I think Bragg's amino is

gluten free- of the three, I think LaChoy is TERRIBLE flavor wise,

San J is pretty good, and Bragg's is ok. San-J is best as a dipping

sauce for sushi and in recipes, in my opinion. You usually have to

go to health food stores to find it, though, which is a nuisance.)

Soy SAUCE usually contains wheat, with the exception of those three.

Some people use Eden as well, which may have a gluten free variety,

but I have not used it or checked on it.

On a related note, I recently learned that Kari-Out's soy sauce packets are now wheat & gluten free (they're making a point of advertising this bit).DeeOn 3/5/06,

Soy is a legume and contains no gluten at alll.

All cereal grains contain " gluten " - which is a techinical term that means :

protein in a cereal grain. The only ones that damage those with celiac are

those from wheat, barley, rye and oats (even in it's pure form, not just

from CC).

You'll often see " corn gluten " as an ingredient or get an answer from a

manufacturer about it - that's because corn is a cereal grain and it's

protein is legally and traditionally called gluten, just as that of all

cereal grains has been for hundreds of years. Of course, corn isn't a

problem with celiac or " gluten intolerance " (which should be more properly

called gliadin or wheat intolerancce, as that is the only grain tested for

by the AGA-IgG/IgA tests).

This confusion over the the lega/traditional/proper use of the word gluten

versus the meaning used by those with celiac is just one reason there is no

definition of " gluten free " in the US.

I use these packets when I go out to a sushi restaurant. They are

extremely convenient and I love them! But, I wouldn't use them for

cooking or home use because they are SOOOO salty. They are prepared

like LaChoy rather than the more traditional way that San-J and Eden

are.

Where do you get these packets? I have been using the San-J, but this would be so much more convenient. Also, can you recommend a good gluten-free teriyaki sauce?

I was raised on San-J (really) and was shocked by the difference

with LaChoy. To me it was like carmelized water- not good at all. If

you haven't tried San-J, I highly recommend it. One good way to

compare them it to get a package of prepared sushi that you like and

do a taste test. The sauce should taste good on something really

plain. I do try to always get the low sodium stuff, although I know

it's still not good for you sodium wise- I'm too addicted to Chinese

and Japanese food! On the up side, if you like LaChoy, it is

cheaper. But, I think you would have to use more to get flavor into

your food, especially in international dishes with subtle flavor.

(this may not be as important in dishes where soy sauce is not the

main flavor.) It takes me a long time to go through any bottle of

soy sauce, but it does frustrate me that San-j wheat free soy sauce

is so expensive- One money saving idea is that Whole Foods used to

have wheat free soy sauce in a bulk liquid dispenser. seemed to have

less opportunity for contamination (it was separate from flour

items). Not sure if they still have it.

I feel the same way. San-J is much better than La Choy. However, I

have to confess. I use La Choy quite a bit too. I would rather use

the cheap stuff in recipes and save the San-J for white rice or

something plain. Dont want to waste my good stuff on a recipe

where you can't taste the soy sauce all that well anyway.

I found an Asian store in Portsmouth NH that sells the BIG bottle of

San-J for about $3.50. Where at the health food stores thats what I

used to pay for the smaller bottle!!
