Guest guest Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I think I found a soy sauce substitute that can be used on the diet. I called the company and they assured me they use nothing in the processing. This is simply coconut sap that is allowed to ferment (it happens naturally as soon as it is taken from the tree). It is heated to a modest temperature to keep it from fermenting into vinegar. Sun-dried mineral-rich sea salt is added for additional flavoring. Here's the website: www.coconutsecret.com. Has anyone heard of this? She is willing to send me an e-mail (not a paper letter-hope this is okay) confirming that nothing is used in processing or added (except the sea salt). She did say coconut sap is a pre-biotic with FOS, but I assume this occurs naturally, unlike the FOS (inulin) that is added to processed foods. They also have coconut cystals which is the nectar evaporated down to a dry state. What do you think about that? Legal? Can someone help me word the e-mail if I do send it?Thank you!

People used to ask about date sugar, which is dried ground up dates, and the answer from Elaine was the same. I wouldn't trust the coconut sap, unless you can determine what kinds of carbs remain after it's fermented. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used ginger, garlic, and toasted sesame oil for nine years, and don't miss soy sauce at all. I don't believe it is legal. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
