Does Anyone Know If

[jasonD2]

anyone know if there will ever be a push for Chinese/Asian style restaurants to use wheat free soy sauce only? Its a shame that one little ingredient is ruining this cuisine for all of us

Also its seems like sporting events do not cater to people with allergies/intolerances. Will this ever change? will we ever be able to go to a sporting event and get a gluten free beer?

Hi Jason,

I have Triumph Dining Cards. It explains what Celiac is and what foods are off limits, in many different languages. It has helped me a lot.

If you can eat during off times, they might be able to make you a special meal using your own gluten free soy sauce. If you can be a little flexible, you can eat just as well as anyone else.

Also, you can keep bottle of LaChoy Soy Sauce with you.

The Washington Nationals serves gluten-free pretzels and gluten-free beer, along with other gluten-free offerings.

The Philadelphia Phillies had a Celiac Awareness Day this summer and served gluten free products.

Events like these, and many others, are a good start.

I've gone to a local Japanese restaurant with family and taken my gluten-free soy sauce. The owner was very accommodating when we had tablefull. He told me that he had once tried using gluten-free soy sauce for everybody, but people complained that it didn't taste the same. It's been more than 7 years since I had soy sauce with wheat, so I don't remember.
