I miss some of my Asian/Chinese recipes and would like to start making them again but I need asubstitute for soy sauce. I don't actually like the stuff that much, but most recipes call for it with other ingredients.

Also, if anyone knows of gluten-free, soy free fish and oyster sauce or subs for these I will die of happiness!

sweeten to taste (Stevia, sugar, etc)

Does Thai fish sauce contain soy? It does taste similar, you just need to use less because the flavor is quite strong.

It mixes nicely with lime, sugar, rice wine, rice wine vinegar, curry powder or 5-spice powder, honey, etc.

HI KIDO.

PATTI POSTED THIS RECENTLY BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET.

PRINTING IT NOW AS JIM'S THE MARINATOR IN OUR HOME... :lol:

SOY SAUCE SUB

2 cups beef broth

2 tsp cider vinegar

1 tsp molassas

1/8 tsp ground ginger

dash of pepper/onoin powder/garlic powder

Combine all in saucepan. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup. Store in fridge.

I can't take credit for the recipe--I found it here. I *think* possibly it was from Liz (lonewolf)?

I use Braggs Liquid Aminos which works very well as a substitute for conventional soy sauces. You can read about it at the Braggs website Open Original Shared Link .

Wouldn't Braggs Liquid Aminos still be a problem for someone sensitive to soy, as it is derived from soybeans?

Is it the wheat in the soy sauce or the soy? If you can have the soy then San-J makes a wheat free Tamari sauce that tastes great. I use Thai fish sauce quite a lot too. I think it tastes totally different than soy sauce though. But it might give the umami flavor you're looking for.

I just went to a local oriental market and stocked up on Curry paste, coconut milk, exotic spices and fish sauce! Whee! Talk about feeling out of place...

I use Umboshi vinegar - it's really salty - and then add toasted sesame oil, ginger and garlic for flavor and leave soy out of all my stir-fries and Asian dishes. I've been off soy for 11 years and don't miss it any more.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Celiac50, Most Celiac patients with a Marsh score as high as yours are more likely to suffer from fat malabsorption and deficiency in fat soluble vitamins, Vitamins A, D, E, and K.   Vitamin A toxicity does not cause Celiac disease.  Your Vitamin A toxicity was probably developed after your diagnosis and subsequent over-supplementation.  Fish contains thiaminases, chemical compounds that destroy thiamine, Vitamin B 1, making the thiamine unusable.  Excessive intake of foods containing thiaminases can precipitate low thiamine.   Low thiamine can also be a result of bacterial or yeast infections.  A high carbohydrate diet encourages Candida and bacterial infections.  High carbohydrate diets promote SIBO and Candida because they feed on the excess carbohydrates and suppress the beneficial bacteria.  Other types of bacteria can take advantage of this and set up housekeeping outside the gastrointestinal tract, including bacterial vaginosis. Thiamine Vitamin B 1 can alter the microbiome.  Thiamine has been shown to suppress Candida, SIBO, and other bacterial and viral infections, and favor the growth of beneficial bacteria.  My SIBO cleared once I supplemented with Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that has been shown to promote intestinal healing, and a B Complex.  Thiamine works in concert with the other B vitamins and magnesium. Thiamine helps to lower histamine levels by calming mast cells that release histamine at the slightest provocation.   Following the Autoimmune Protocol diet also helped immensely in getting my digestive system calmed and able to tolerate more foods. Have you discussed with your doctor and dietician supplementing essential B vitamins while healing?  What is your Vitamin D level?  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.

      Has anyone ever had Low Ferritin with Elevated MCHC levels?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Update - my Active B12 is 36.  Apparently lab results between 25 and 70 suggest a possible deficiency, anything below 25 is a confirmed deficiency, above 70 is normal.   I am thinking this could be the explanation for my elevated MCHC. Anyway, yet again I find myself bumping along the levels of low normal by British NHS standards, which isn't great, because from what I understand, in the UK our normal levels are set low and 'lower normal' levels would be considered a deficiency in such countries as Germany and Japan. Regarding B12 levels, it doesn't look as if my levels are low enough to be offered B12 injections.  That being the case, I remember reading that sublingual tablets can still be very effective but one particular type is better than another - I can't remember which type.  Can anyone help?

      Hi @Celiac50 If you are after a vitamin A test - sorry - I'm tired so not sure if I'm reading this correctly - perhaps you could try a home test?  I'm in the UK and am currently a bit perplexed about my own vitamin issue and thinking of going to a private lab for tests.  My issues is suboptimal Active B12 (only 11 marks off deficient) but no health professionals seem to be taking any interest in it although this is  my fault as last time I saw my Consultant I failed to mention my symptoms - I had so many other questions to ask him.  Anyway - here are the details for an A test: https://www.medichecks.com/products/vitamin-a-retinol-blood-test?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=11996732820&gbraid=0AAAAAD9XHFyeAOrxlryOpWS_jXwZ8PCc1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyrjj2Pb2jwMVnJJQBh22CTkVEAAYASAAEgIGDPD_BwE

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Diagnosed with potential Guillain Barre could it be celiac related?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very complex and difficult situation, and your intuition about a potential link to celiac disease is medically plausible. While Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is often triggered by infections, it can also be precipitated by other immune system events, including a significant gluten exposure in a person with celiac disease. The timeline you describe—neurological symptoms appearing after the GI symptoms subsided—is classic for post-infectious (or in this case, post-exposure) GBS. Furthermore, there is a recognized, though rare, neurological condition directly linked to celiac disease called Gluten Ataxia, which affects coordination and can cause gait problems. However, the rapid onset of paralysis and cranial nerve involvement you experienced is more characteristic of GBS than typical gluten ataxia. It's also important to know that a negative EMG early in the course of GBS does not rule it out, and "Functional Neurological Disorder" (FND) is not purely psychiatric; it is a real and complex disorder where there is a problem with the functioning of the nervous system, not its structure, and it can be triggered by physical illness or stress. The most critical step is to continue working closely with your neurologists. You should absolutely bring up your celiac history and your theory, as it is a relevant piece of the diagnostic puzzle. They may consider specific antibody tests related to gluten neuropathy or ataxia to help differentiate the cause.
