Hey there. I am new to all this, but one thing that I LOVE to have is just plain chicken breasts, bakes in the oven with TONNES of Barbecue sauce on them. I am finding it REALLY hard to find any that I KNOW are gluten free here in Kelowna, BC Canada. All of them have either stuff I know is harmful, or they just say " vinager " or " white vinager " and I have no way to know for sure if it is safe.

I have heard everyone saying " sweet baby Ray " however I cannot seem to find it here. Any other suggestions?? Same with soya sauce....

Thanks :-)

I'm a big Sweet Baby Ray's fan, but if you cannot find it, you could always use Kraft. They disclose any gluten in their ingredients. Distilled vinegar is considered gluten free. Unless you have had problems with vinegar before, you might try products that contain vinegar.

As for soy sauce, I use La Choy.

Thanks Jenny. I wish I could find Sweet Baby Ray's....everyone here seems to love it. As for Kraft and the vinager thing....am I then to assume that if they have " vinager " in their label, that it is distilled? Most of their labels just say " vinager " or " white vinager "....

I have never had a probel with vinager that I know of, it is is just that I was under the impression it shoudl say " distilled "?? I guess I could give it a shot :-)

Thanks for the soy sauce brand. I will see if I can find it here.

Vinegar is gluten free with the exception of Malt Vinegar. (although some sensitive people here do react).

A really good homemade bbq sauce is from Gourmet mag years ago, I can't find it online anymore (I probably have the copy somewhere!).

It is .....

1/4 cup soy sauce, gluten free

1/4 cup yellow mustard, gluten free

1/4 brown sugar

1/2 cup ketchup, gluten free

We have used this for years and I always play with it, you can add ginger, garlic, lemon or lime juice and so on.

We use a lot of barbeque too.... in my pantry right now I have Kraft thick and spicy, Annie's Barbeque sauce (says gluten-free right on the label) and the other one that is not in my pantry cuz we ate it is great and I believe its called Bone Sucking Sauce and I think it says gluten-free on it too.

Hi. I'm also in Canada. I purchase Kraft barbecue sauce because it's the only one I know for sure is gluten-free because Kraft labels all ingredient sources on their labels. Sure it's not the best but it's good. The Chicken and Rib variety is tasty enough.

As for soy sauce, VH is gluten free. They can't get it in the States. The VH sauces (garlic for ribs for instance) is also gluten-free, as is the Cherry Sauce (good for chicken balls, nuggets etc.)

Hope this helps,

I made this in the crockpot yesterday and the meat fell apart when I touched it. It was soooo good:

Quickly brown pork ribs in lightly oiled pan

Throw in crock pot, add 1 onion sliced

In bowl, combine:

1/4c gluten-free soy sauce

1/3c ketchup

1tbs mustard

3tbs brown sugar

2 garlic cloves minced

dash pepper

Dump over ribs, cook high for 4-5hrs, low for 8-10 hrs.

Yep quite honestly can't see why anyone buys barbecue sauce when it only takes a few minutes to make and you can add countless variations...especially if you marinade the meat/chicken etc. since then you spend 5 mins prep and a few hours marinading ... its not like it cuts down total prep and cooking time

On top of this you can add for instance pureed fruit (less sugar and ketchup) .. honey (less sugar) celery salt (so long as you aren't allergic to celery) ... and for me usually lots of garlic and fresh perhaps galangal with or without the ginger ... you can make it more Tex-Mex adding some coriander and cumin or more far eastern with five spice etc. all really quick and no need to shop specially...

Quite often I like to do two meats like ribs and wings then I make a lighter one for the wings and heavier for the ribs but its 90% the same ... just add more gluten-free soy to the ribs one etc. or pureed apple to pork ribs etc.

With a bit of practice it really does only take 5 mins

Thanks everyone for all your help. I am thinking I may just try to go for the Kraft BBQ sauce and see how that goes.

Lol, I SHOULD makemy own yes, and I probably would. Only thingI am finding is here in Kelowna, even in the health food stores, I cannot for the life of me find a gluten free soy sauce that seems to be needed in BBQ sauce receipies. I found one that is " wheat free " though still, you can never be sure.

Mmmmm....I am so hungry now for a big steak. Lol...

Anyone know how to make barbeque sauce without any added sugar at all? (no sugar, brown sugar, honey, etc.) The only form of sugar that I can tolerate is fructose, in small amounts. I miss barbeque sauce SO very much...so this post gave me hope, maybe you guys no how to make it without sugar :)

Is 100% fruit juice OK? You could add a little apple juice instead.

Can you have the agave nectar? I don't really know if you can or not from what you said so that is why I asked. Same with apple juice, the concentrate is wonderful for this type of sweetener. Knudsen cherry juice? Dried apricots.

I actually have a sauce recipe and I bottle it but I used fresh apricots or peaches that were super ripe. It sweetens the sauce with out sugar.

One sauce I made was Madeira, black cherries, apricots, garlic, salt and pepper. I cooked this until it was thick and sweet, took it off the heat and stirred in a couple Tbsp. of cold butter This was da bomb

The sugar is mainly needed for the browning. Its the sugar part that does that but pureed fruit or juice as others suggest will do the same thing. If you leaveit out altogether it won't taste that different ... (less sweet obviously but you are probably used to that) so go ahead and try ... it will be less sticky at the end but for the taste just marinade longer.

If you add no or little sugar obviously leave out the lemon or lime ... etc.

Baking barbs apricots sound good too, you can use dried ones but liquidise them first into a gel then it will add the consistency. The ketchup is optional ... obviously just change this for tomato puree of you want a tomato bbq. squce.

Really put effort into finding gluten-free Soy sauce, its much more versatile as you can use it in many other things as well and its not something you can make yourself.

I cannot wait to try out the recipes you all are adding to this thread, they are making me so hungry!

I noticed that the back of the 6 oz package of Mariani's California dried apricots has a recipe for glazed ribs. The glaze part of the recipe goes like this:

in medium sauce pan, combine 1.5 cups water, 1 cup dried apricots (chopped), .5 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, .5 teaspoon salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Pour into blender and process until smooth.

When you have simmered the pork ribs for 1 hour in salted water, drain, salt and pepper, brush with glaze and add grill over medium/low coals for 20 to 30 minutes, turning once or twice and adding more glaze.

If it would just warm up ten more degrees, I would pull out the grill!

Thought I would add (in case you don't want to make your own ) :) that Cattle Boyz (a Canadian company ) makes a wonderful gluten free BBQ sauce.

Thanks gfp, bakingbarb and celiac-mommy for the help :)

So I tried to incorporate everyone's suggestions for the sugar free bbq sauce and I compiled this:

1/4 cup gluten free soy sauce

1 tbsp mustard

1/4 cup apple juice

1/2 cup tomato sauce

Optional: 2 minced garlic cloves

Then do I heat it in a sauce pan? Will it work? I'm using it to make my famous "Barbeque black bean bowls", basically it's like a bbq chicken salad but instead it's black beans with veggies heated with bbq sauce. Think this will work? Will it be too runny?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
