I have been searching for a gluten-free Black bean sauce as it's a key ingredient in my Kung Pao Chicken. I finally found one by Sun Luck that looked promising. I wrote them and thought I would share their response.

Thank you for your email.

The products we have that are made from gluten-free ingredients:

Plum Sauce

Black Bean Garlic Sauce*

Peanut-Free:

Hoisin Sauce

Canned goods - are packed in water or brine (imported from overseas)

*Although there is no sufficient data of adverse allergic reaction to soybeans, it is advised to take caution when using black bean garlic sauce due to the high amount of soybeans in the product and the fermentation process similar to soy sauce.

We do not make any gluten-free claims on our labels because our products are co-packed in plants where other items are produced. Co-packing plants are plants that make different products for several different brands. Since we cannot control the other products/brands that are produced in these plants, we do not consider our products to be 100% gluten-free. The machinery in these plants are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each product is made - but we understand that people who are gluten, and peanut, intolerant can be affected by the smallest traces.

If you are very sensitive I would suggest that you do not use our products. You might try either Whole Foods www.wholefoods.com or Trader Joes www.traderjoes.com stores for gluten-free products.

I hope this information is what you were looking for.

Sincerely,

Amy M.

Subject: Black Bean Garlic Sauce

Hello, can you please tell me if your SunLuck Black Bean Garlic Sauce is gluten free? I have Celiac Disease and cannot consume gluten. The only ingredient you have listed that I question is the Caramel Coloring. Other than that it looks fine to me. As I can no longer eat out in Asian restaurants I must do my own oriental cooking and Black Bean sauce is essential to many dishes.

Thank you so much!

Terri

Now I am thinking of trying it. I made a dish with La Choy Sweet and Sour sauce and had no reaction, but of course that's not really the same. Anyhow, it should be okay????

      Hi guys. Apologies for the late reply. Many many thanks for the replies. Hi - I am eating both white rice and wholegrain brown rice, due to it being very difficult to just eat brown rice. In regards to histamine foods - I am taking 10mg loratadine to combat this issue, however haven't seen any positive results as of yet. I have noticed...

      Would you also agree that being so close to the IgA deficient cut off is significant? We just have been told he’s not as just over into the not deficient category… thank you so much for all the help so far, it’s been so helpful!

      One study showed that up to 44% of first degree relatives also have celiac disease, so his odds of having it are quite high. Also, if he were not IgA deficient his celiac disease test scores would likely have been much higher because they were based on the IgA antibodies.

      Statistically, the incidence of IBS and other bowel disorders is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. Still, I would take one thing at a time. There is significant reason to believe your son does have celiac disease and there is no nasty prep needed for that endoscopic procedure. Assuming that he does have either celiac disease...

      Thank you, I do feel the likelihood is high which is why I am reluctant to do a colonoscopy as I feel we will find the answer. Whatever the endoscopy says though and even if it were to be negative he will be going gluten free as the positive EMA has to mean something with symptoms and one parent coeliac. But there is a niggling doubt as I try and...

In regards to histamine foods - I am taking 10mg loratadine to combat this issue, however haven't seen any positive results as of yet. I have noticed if I am on a strict gluten free diet for around 1 week, the insomnia instantly pops up, and I have to eat around half a slice of bread for it to stop. I am trying to lower this amount, however the insomnia is still present. I have searched these forums and the internet but there seem to be no solution to this issue. I thought if I gradually reduce from half a slice and a little less, the issue will be resolved. However this is not the case.

There is significant reason to believe your son does have celiac disease and there is no nasty prep needed for that endoscopic procedure. Assuming that he does have either celiac disease or NCGS, it is likely that a gluten-free diet corrects his symptoms and there would be no need to pursue a lower GI and it's nasty prep.  I would also add that the immune system of a child his age is not mature. It's in flux. Because of this, celiac disease testing can yield erratic results. And I would also add that some experts believe that NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. If this is true, there would seem to be transition phases. I hope you will keep us posted.
