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.

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.

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

      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.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
