My wife really wants to make a stir-fry recipe she's seen for her Coeliac
mother next weekend, but it needs soy sauce. Does anyone happen
to know if Tesco's/Sainsbury's, etc. carry a brand guaranteed gluten-free?

Not certain. You'd need to read the labels and see if wheat is in it.
Tamari soy sauce is traditionally wheat-free, but don't know if either
chain sell it. Any wholefood shop will have tamari and other gluten-free
soy sauces.
Otherwise leave out the soy and just use salt.

If La Choy brand is sold in the UK, it's gluten free.

If you can't find a Soy without wheat, you may be able to substitute fish
sauce. It is used in Thai dishes as soy is in others. The lighter versions
have hardly any taste. Essentially they are a reconstituted anchovy, salt
and water. Just another thought if you want something more than just salt
if you can't find a soy without wheat.
Gluten Free since 1996.

Thanks for the link - I don't recognise any of the brands though. Will have
a look. Has been very hard to find UK celiac information. Of particular
surprise to me was that nobody seems to have bothered reviewing restaurants
from this point of view. We always land up going to a Harvester chain
(bland, jazzed up pub food - ok the first couple of times) which bores me
the death ... but at least they have a gluten-free menu!

But there are lots of Indian restaurants in the UK. Not at all bland. And
all of them have gluten-free menus, as all their curries on the regular
menu are gluten-free.

If you are in London, they will probably have it. Can't say for the

Try a search on 'coeliac', which is the English spelling.

Real "tamari" is more or less wheat-free soysauce.

A Japanese imported tamari would most likely be true tamari (wheat-free).
They are pretty serious about soysauces. Not kidding. There was a legal
issue within the past 2 years over whether some products should be forced to
be labeled "soy-flavored" sauce instead of soysauce.
http://www.mindfully.org/WTO/Global...ight25aug02.htm
As far as something likely available in U.K.; if there is a Kikkoman tamari,
I would expect it to be wheat-free.

Tesco sell Sanchi Tamari Soy Sauce which is gluten-free. You'll also
find lots of restaurant information at
http://www.glutenfreedirectory.org.uk/
and lots of other useful information at

Didn't realise Indian food was particularly likely to be gluten free? Never
tried it as she's never expressed an interest ... might be worth a try
though.

Dunno, never been into one. If you can find the brands San-J or Ceres
(both organic), they are gluten-free.

Read the labels of tamari soy sauces -- not all of them are wheat-free.

In the U.S., we tend to lump all Indian food together under one heading
of Indian cuisine. In India, the cuisine varies considerably by region.
Wheat is grown in Northern India, and the food there reflects that in
the form of a number of griddle breads. Southern Indian food features
rice and coconut. You'll have an easier time avoiding gluten there.
I'm sure there are far more regional differences than the 2 broad ones
I've mentioned.

Many thanks to all of your replies. I found a bottle of Tamari soy (it

I read one of the most ridiculous things today. The local RC diosece
(sp) has nulled this little girl's Holy Communion because she didn't
take the right kind of wafer. She gluten intolerant. Well, the
family has appealed to the Vatican.
Have you ever heard anything so stupid in your life?

Yes. History is replete with incidents of people sacrificing their
health (and often their life) in favor of a religious doctrine;
for example, people who refuse surgery or blood transfusions on
religious grounds.
At least this little girl had the sense to stand up for her health.
Allergies to wheat gluten and casein (dairy protein) are the most
widespread allergies in the world. I find it odd that the RC Church
would require someone to eat the stuff.

They never surprise me. (laughing) My husband just said, oh, so
this is Jesus body, so it must be made of WHEAT! He then went on
a riff of South Park that left me laughing too loud.

This is the Catholic Church after all. I've never really been certain
what that wafer is made from (And it isn't the body of Christ, I'll tell
you that.) but it tastes like cardboard.
We should just dispense with it and drink Kool-Aid. Oh wait, that's been
tried.

Tradition has gone out the window in the name of the bottom line in a
lot of cases, sadly.
Some of the ingredient lists in "soy-flavoured" sauces make me want to
weep.

Never heard of such things thankfully. Real soy sauce from China or Hong

A lot of the "soy sauce" sold in supermarkets should really be labelled
"soy-flavoured sauce".

Probably depends on the labelling laws where you live. If there isn't
any legal definition for soy sauce, plenty of scope for messing things
up.
