It will tell you if you have made a mistake in what you are ingesting. When you are new, it is like learning another whole language that you have no idea what it is or what they are talking about. I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago and I still have trouble. I purchased a book called "Living Gluten Free Answer Book" Practical Answers to 275 of your Most Pressing Questions. The author is Suzanne Bowland. Excellent Book to read, especially when you are new. Diane: I agree with Tanya about trusting your gut.

I try to avoid hydrolized ingredients like the ones in NON SOY SAUCE so i have opted to use either San J Organic Tamari -- wheat free soy sauce or Bragg Liquid Aminos. Both are from Soy sources but are GF. Diane -- I hear what you are saying. I tell my clients that you really have to decide for yourself what you are and are not going to eat. I do this for myself as well. At first I avoided EVERYTHING except vegetables, safe (family grown) meats, and rice. After a few months I started SLOWLY adding in alternative grain products and carefully reading labels. The goal for each person should be health and wellness. For me, this is not just living GF, but choosing to avoid glutamates of all kinds (MSG and derivatives) High fructose corn syrup, trans fats, hydrolyzed oils, etc. So -- when someone asks for my personal avoid list they get all kinds of things besides gluten products. The bottom line is that we are all individuals and what works to produce health and wellness in one person may not be a magic formula for another. TRUST YOUR GUT....literally!

It is not easy to find in stores but you can contact them at www.soyfreesauce.com and order on line.

Their soy sauce, at least the one sold in AZ, states on the label that it is now made with wheat along with soy. It still pays to read the labels, especially if they change the packaging (which means they may also have changed manufacturer). However, some Wal-Marts now carry La Choy Teriyaki sauce, which does not contain wheat. Wal-Mart now has new packaging for their store-brand products.

I have a question about licorice. I understand that licorice candies that have wheat or wheat starch as an ingredient would contain gluten, but what about the herb licorice root, which is an ingredient in some herbal teas? Is licorice root gluten free? Hi! I have a question about licorice.
