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,

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
