Need Gluten Free Marinades/bbq Sauces


Grace'smom

Recommended Posts

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!

I use that one too. Tastes great and I checked recently and they were gluten-free.

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 use that one too. Tastes great and I checked recently and they were gluten-free.

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.

Mizzo and everyone who wrote me: THANK YOU! Can you let me know which "guide" you are referring to? Need to pick up one for home as well.

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.

I know this isn't a marinade or bbq sauce recipe, but it might entice your daughter with fruit. I posted it earler so here is the link.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
