Need Gluten Free Marinades/bbq Sauces

Hi everyone

My 6 yr old, Grace, with the help of a nutritionist, has been expanding her diet since being diagnosed in early June. For most of her little life, she ate pasta and chicken tenders...something nearly impossible to come by, gluten free, outside of the home. I'd like to get to the point where she can eat out, because she's willing to try grilled and not baked/fried meat. I've had a wonderful woman working with her to expand her diet, and halleuluiah! Grace finally likes grilled chicken, with a little seasoning on it. I'd like to introduce her to some marinades to sample with the grilled foods, but haven't had much luck in finding pre-made marinades in the supermarket that don't contain any wheat flour. I know LaChoy makes a gluten free soy sauce, but on its own, that's too strong a flavor for a little girl. Can anyone recommend some kind of marinade that I can pick up in the market that is gluten free? Maybe a honey dijon kind, honey mustard, sesame flavored, Or BBQ sauce? We have a large family and I don't often make home made marinades, but if its my only option, I can try it if there's any easy recipe. To give her several options, I'd prefer to start out with a few choices for her to try that are bottled and ready to go....so if you know of any, please share! Thanks so much for any suggestions. Emily

My seven year old likes salmon when I marinate it in 1/4 c. maple syrup and 2 T. gluten-free soy sauce/tamari, salt and pepper. Another variation of is idea includes pineapple juice. And I'm sure there are gluten-free BBQ sauces. How about olive oil, salt and pepper? Or experiment with various gluten-free salad dressings.

I believe Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce is gluten free. My kids love it.

Annie's Naturals make a good BBQ sauce that doesn't have any of the crap in it like HFCS! I also know Brianna's Dressings are safe as well.

Good luck!

My kiddo likes Bone Suckin' Sauce-BBQ sauce. The original is a little thin but they have a thicker version. It's all-natural, no HFCS. Another one he likes is Organicville sesame teriyaki sauce. It's sweeetened with agave.

I eat it too as I know the bottle I have is gluten free. I could find no info on their website, but on their meats website they have meat products using their original bbq sauce and they do have gluten info on there. Open Original Shared Link

Also I just checked my Cecelia's marketplace gluten-free grocery shopping guide 2008/2009 version (I also checked for any product updates on their website last night) and it is listed in my book as gluten free. Here are the flavors listed: Sweet Baby Ray's-Hickory & Brown Sugar, Honey, Honey Chipolte, Hot'N Spicy, original, Sweet Vadalia Onion.

San-J makes gluten free marinades. My daughter likes the Sweet & Tangy Polynesian Glazing and Dipping Sauce. They also make gluten free tamari and some other sauces. Check at your local healthier food store. We also love Annie's BBQ sauces - check for gluten free labels.

I use Sweet Baby rays as BBQ sauce too... very good stuff. I use Tamari for soy sauce and I don't think I would ever recommend using just straight tamari OR soy sauce as a marinade. Here's one that I found recently that my kids ADORE...great marinated overnight on chicken legs (or breasts) as well as to dip french fries:

Oh man...I don't have the recipe on me. here's what I remember:

1c Ketsup

3tbsp Tamari

honey (or you could use brown sugar)

garlic powder

ginger

So I would mix up the first two and then add the other ingredients to taste.

And I a bad mom...I just made fried chicken nuggets this week for dinner. So yummy you wouldn't even know they were gluten-free.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.

      Thank you so much for your informative reply. My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash. I had a histamine response to wheat and milk by scratch test by an allergist. I'm not always symptomatic but the older I get the worse it gets. I've found through trial and error that I can react to all grains. Buckwheat and corn included. I tolerate some rice but I wouldn't want to eat it every day. Potato is pretty good for me but I can't eat it every day either. I compromise with squash. I tolerate it well. The Best I feel is while fasting. When I'm in pain and discomfort it's easy to fast even long term, it helps. The problem I'm having is I'm great with my diet for 3-6 months then I start to cheat again. When I don't get immediate symptoms I get this foolish false security. I react then go back to my diet. Rinse and repeat. I suppose discipline is my real issue. I'm very tired of perusing a diagnosis. The constant gaslighting and dismissal is exhausting. Thanks for your suggestion of the autoimmune protocol. I will give it a try. Perhaps the guidelines will help me to navigate better.   Thanks again.

      This isn't the first potential celiac disease treatment in the pipeline that failed. There have been others...
