Chinese Food--is The White Sauce Ok?

We had Chinese food last night, and instead of the brown, soy-based sauce that I know contains gluten, I ordered the "white" sauce, which is a clear sauce that is seasoned lightly with garlic. I thought it would be safe, but perhaps not, since I've been having abdominal cramps/gas aplenty today. Does anyone know if the white sauce is typically gluten-free or not?

Technically it should be gluten-free. Did you tell them to make it gluten-free and use newly cleaned utensils and a clean wok? If not you can get sick. I found this out myself the hard way. I tried my local chinese place a few times without success. I explained everything to them but it never worked out for me. I now stick to PF Changs for gluten-free chinese where they are familiar with safe gluten-free food preparation.

Thanks for helping me solve this puzzle (I'm new at this). No, I did not ask for a clean wok and utensils. Normally I get the same dish steamed with the white sauce on the side and haven't had an issue. But last night they accidently stir-fried it and I ate it thinking the sauce was OK, without even realizing the wok/utensil issue. Argghh!

I hope you feel better soon. It happens to all of us, especially in the beginning.

I am starting to feel better now, thanks. I am going to try PF Changs next time, if I can find one in my area. If not, when it comes to Chinese, it will be steamed food only for me from now on.

Thanks so much for your help!

      Diabetic 2

      By trents · Posted

      There is no established connection between type 2 diabetes and celiac disease. There is a connection with type 1, however, as about 6% of those with type 1 diabetes also have celiac disease. This rate is 6x that of the celiac rate found in the general population. https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/related-conditions/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/

      Chicken Thighs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is a link to the skin version, and the only ingredients are "chicken": https://www.perduefarms.com/en-US/perdue-bone-in-chicken-thighs-pack/60625.html There should also be ingredients and any allergens listed there on the package.

      Chicken Thighs

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BeeBarnard! I really can't imagine how either skin or skinless chicken thighs could not be gluten free unless one or the other were treated with some seasoning ingredient that was not gluten free. Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the amount of gluten cross contamination found in seasonings is usually inconsequential.

      Chicken Thighs

      By BeeBarnard · Posted

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken is not, but skinless is. Does this seem accurate? Thank you
