Tamari & Coffee

[Turtle]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone uses Tamari Soy Sauce??? Supposedly it's gluten-free but I've used it a few times and end up w/ glutened symptoms...just curious if anyone had any input.

Also, is coffee something you have to check w/ each manufactor about? I'm talking about already ground up coffee you buy at the store, not coffee that you get at Starbucks, etc.

Thanks!!

I use Bragg's which is just soy without alcohol. I don't know if the alcohol in Tamari would be a problem though. I like the little spray bottle Bragg's comes in...I make avocado sushi rolls at home and take it in a little ziplock container on road trips. That way I just get out at the picnic table and spray my sushi. We get a few strange looks, I'll admit.

Tarmari is not universally gluten-free; you've got to find a version that doesn't have wheat in it. San-J makes a gluten-free tamari.

Edensoy also makes a gluten-free soy tamari soy sauce.

Most tamari DOES have wheat. You have to check. I've never found a coffee like you're asking about with gluten. When I started I was warned about decaf and flavored coffees in cans and bags, but in four years have yet to find one that isn't gluten-free. For some reason, I still worry about the flavored ones, which I don't really like anyway, but just regular coffee is without exception gluten-free.

Perhaps it's a problem with soy?

[lovegrov]

That is the San J one without wheat? They make both.

Don't know about the coffee, but as for Tamari, It CAN be wheat-free, but not necessaritly. I thought "Tamari" meant wheat-free. It doesn't. Just check to see that it's wheat/gluten- free. I learned this the hard way.

Okay issue resolved....apparently the San-J Tamari I have is NOT the gluten-free one...

DUHHHHH. How dumb am I feeling right now? Then again, I am still new to this so that makes me feel only half as dumb...HA!!

Thanks everyone!
