Hello, I am day two of the diet. I love this salad dressing...it is a japanese ginger dressing. It mentions soy sauce as the fourth ingrediant in it. How bad could this effect me? Does anyone have a good ginger dressing w/o soy sauce?

Hi and welcome in! Although there are gluten-free soy sauces available, consuming regular soy sauce will prevent you from healing, possibly cause further damage and cause you to have symptoms. The goal is to be 100% gluten-free. That means food, condiments, spices, soap, shampoo, lotions--anything that you eat or use on your body. Just a tiny bit will cause the immune reaction, and even if you don't get sick, the damage is still happening. The diet can be a bit difficult at the beginning, so take it one day at a time and give your system a chance to heal. Come here for advice any time. If someone dosen't post with a dressing recipe, you can always do a search. There are a lot of good recipes to be found here.

I feel your pain. This was the only salad dressing I liked. This was after years of searching for the perfect ginger dressing. I used to eat this stuff on everything. It was probably the thing I mourned not being able to have anymore more than anything else. But like Patti said, it's off limits. This is an all or nothing lifestyle. You can't pick and choose to occassionally have something that might contain some gluten. Sorry. I know just how bummed you are.

After seeing the post about Makato I decided to write them an e-mail to see if they would consider producing a version of this dressing with wheat free soy sauce. I am very pleased with the response I got. If you to are interested in this product as well, may I suggest you send an e-mail.

Thank you for your suggestion about using a wheat free soy sauce. I have forwarded this information to our product development department.

I have also taken the time to go to the website www.celiac.com and have found this to be a very interesting website and possible information tool should we develop a wheat free version of our dressing.

Customer feedback is very important to us and we appreciate the time you took to write us with the information you provided.

Sincerely,
