Hi, I was just watching Rachel Ray and she was cooking with Hoisin sause, she called it chinese sweet and sour sause, I want to try it, does anyone know a brand that is gluten-free? Is it spicy? I get terrible heartburn so need to be careful.

thanks!

I haven't found a gluten free one..I did see a recipe for a homemade one on www.recipezaar.com.

I don't find it spicy, I think it is kind of sweet and salty, and a little thick.

Dynasty makes a gluten-free hoisin sauce and there are others -- I just can't remember the brand names off the top of my head. Just check the ingredients. Hoisin sauce is awesome. I add it to sauteed beef with brocolli and sometimes I just dip stuff in it straight out of the jar/bottle.

Aaaand this is what drives me insane about Rachael Ray. Warning -- I'm about to get really petty! "Chinese sweet and sour sauce?" Number one, Hoisin sauce is really nothing like sweet and sour sauce. It's sweet but not sour. I read somewhere that Hoisin sauce is basically China's version of ketchup as the Chinese often use it as a sauce to dip fried things in. Number two, Sweet and Sour sauce IS CHINESE! There is no need to say that anything -- let alone Hoisin sauce -- is the "Chinese version" of Sweet and Sour sauce because Sweet and Sour Sauce is the Chinese Sweet and Sour sauce. Yes, I know other cuisines have "sweet and sour" sauces but the chinese kind of have it covered more or less. It's like saying "oh this is like an italian version of pasta". Shut up, Rachael Ray!

thanks!

I also watched Rachael Ray today when she cooked with the Hoisin sauce, she actually refered to it as Chinese BBQ sauce. I am going to try to find the gluten-free kind and try it, everyone I know that has has it said it is wonderful.

so sorry I must have heard her wrong?? BBQ or sweet and sour either way I was just curious about it, It will be nice to have a new sauce for stir fry, though we do love my homemade teriyaki sauce.

I've got one here in my hands that is Premier Japan Organic Wheat-Free Hoisin Sauce with a little note on the side that says Edward & Son's Trading Co. And the official description is.... "Asian Sauce for grilling & barbeque". It is Yummy!

I think I got it at Whole Foods.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
