You are right about soy sauce. Note that wheat-free tamari sauce is available. Tamari sauce is similar to soy sauce. Not all types are wheat-free/gluten-free, even from the same brand. Read labels carefully!

Very interesting stories from Europe! Thanks for the info.

Not many people know that it contains gluten, but it does, and this means no Chinese food for me. However, I can still have Thai food, if and when I tell my server (or the owner) ABSOLUTELY NO SOY SAUCE. Just yesterday, I had Thai food and no reaction! I was sooo happy. Thai cuisine does not seem to rely on soy sauce as heavily as does Chinese cuisine. I have also discovered many foods including hot sauce, which had a label that said “Made on equipment shared with wheat products” So I didn’t use this hot sauce. This just shows how easily you can get contamination.
This summer I was in Europe for 2 months, and found that their labeling is much more informative than what we have here. Some manufacturers will be very good at letting you know whether their product has gluten or other allergens, but it seems to be completely voluntary.
I was laid over in London Heathrow for about 6 hours, and had to find a place to eat. I went to information to find out about gluten free dining. I was told I could choose between a number of restaurants. The Italian restaurant had a separately printed menu just for gluten free dishes. I was happy. On the other hand, I was sick in Greece almost every time we went out to eat. I took the precaution of bringing my gluten free bread with me and I was glad I did, because I couldn’t find any gluten free products anywhere. I found out, that if you are a celiac in Greece, you get your food from your local pharmacy because you get it by paying a co-pay, and not full price. Your food is dispensed like a prescription medication there.

These are great tips! Our son had food allergies and we have to be so careful! A yummt thing that we tried a few months ago was Kamut Khorasan Wheat since there are some wtih gluten issues that can eat it since it is an ancient grain and we found out that it works for our son. We love it! I think it is very important for all of us to share our tips to make life with food issues even easier.
