"I have almost eliminated restaurant meals from my lifestyle"
My son has medically diagnosed celiac and we've had excellent luck at salad bars and grilled food (steak dinner hold the garlic bread) and also buffets.
The, uh, explosive effect out both ends, often simultaneously, is rather noticeable so we're pretty confident the food is "clean" and have had pretty good results.
Avoiding soy sauce seems harder than avoiding wheat. You know whats in soy sauce other than soy, right?
On one hand, the fad is cool because there's megatons of doubly fake food available at high expense, where its fake processed food to begin with, then fake - fake food because they took the wheat out. So its a fake version of fake food. The problem is lets be blunt here, it tastes pretty awful and its not good for you anyway. You wanna go GF my advice is eat a salad or a steak not an awful simulation of fake wonder bread that tastes like compressed sawdust mixed with potato peelings. I don't even have words to describe the fake GF brownie mix my wife made one time, warm road tar mixed with sand and dog droppings? You wanna eat something unhealthy for desert get a quart of organic fruit juice and a home ice cream maker and make a slushy, if you're going to eat something unhealthy at least let it taste good.
I've had this argument quite a few times with my son which when paraphrased is something like, dad why do we have to eat this icky fake lasagna with icky fake garlic bread and then have icky fake apple pie when I loved the grilled homemade honey mustard chicken breasts and a light salad from last night, dad? Dad's homemade stir fries are awesome how come we're stuck eating burgers on icky fake buns tonight? (you can make stir fries without soy sauce...)
- headstorm 12y agoI know that most soy sauces have wheat in them. Maybe once I've had more time post-diagnosis, I'll trust salad bars again, but shortly after my biopsy confirmed that I have celiac, I ate at a salad bar and was sick for days. Far more insidious and scary are lentils, which should be fine, but are often processed with barley, or anything in the bulk section of the grocery store. My wallet certainly wishes that I could buy from bulk bins again.
