I have been searching for a gluten-free Black bean sauce as it's a key ingredient in my Kung Pao Chicken. I finally found one by Sun Luck that looked promising. I wrote them and thought I would share their response.

Thank you for your email.

The products we have that are made from gluten-free ingredients:

Plum Sauce

Black Bean Garlic Sauce*

Peanut-Free:

Hoisin Sauce

Canned goods - are packed in water or brine (imported from overseas)

*Although there is no sufficient data of adverse allergic reaction to soybeans, it is advised to take caution when using black bean garlic sauce due to the high amount of soybeans in the product and the fermentation process similar to soy sauce.

We do not make any gluten-free claims on our labels because our products are co-packed in plants where other items are produced. Co-packing plants are plants that make different products for several different brands. Since we cannot control the other products/brands that are produced in these plants, we do not consider our products to be 100% gluten-free. The machinery in these plants are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each product is made - but we understand that people who are gluten, and peanut, intolerant can be affected by the smallest traces.

If you are very sensitive I would suggest that you do not use our products. You might try either Whole Foods www.wholefoods.com or Trader Joes www.traderjoes.com stores for gluten-free products.

I hope this information is what you were looking for.

Sincerely,

Amy M.

Subject: Black Bean Garlic Sauce

Hello, can you please tell me if your SunLuck Black Bean Garlic Sauce is gluten free? I have Celiac Disease and cannot consume gluten. The only ingredient you have listed that I question is the Caramel Coloring. Other than that it looks fine to me. As I can no longer eat out in Asian restaurants I must do my own oriental cooking and Black Bean sauce is essential to many dishes.

Thank you so much!

Terri

Now I am thinking of trying it. I made a dish with La Choy Sweet and Sour sauce and had no reaction, but of course that's not really the same. Anyhow, it should be okay????

      Hair loss

      By TessaBaker · Posted

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Fluka66! Did you realize that the vast majority of all canned soups use wheat starch as a thickener, including such common commodities as Campbell's tomato soup?

      Hello. Any help would really steady my nerves right now. I realised recently that certain food left me in agonising pain so eliminated from my diet. I also have a swollen lymph node. My very caring Dr did some blood tests and I went back the other day to see another equally caring Dr . She looked at the test results one result has come back with something wrong. It came very fast so I'm afraid I didn't catch what it was. Anyway the urgent referral to ENT. She did say as I had already eliminated gluten it wouldn't say anything on the results and neither Drs nor I were prepared to reintroduce gluten . I've just had some tomato soup and again in agony only thinking this must have aggravated maybe existing problems. Does anyone know what I'm facing now ? My swollen lymph node , pain when eating gluten and lactose and I'm assuming the acidity of tomatoes triggering pain.  I'm trying to stay calm and to be honest I've been in intolerable pain at times rendering me unable to stand up straight but I've always just got on with it . Guess I'm reaching out and would really appreciate any wise or unwise words at this stage. Wishing you all the very best as you live with this illness. Fluka66
