Dear Fellow Readers,

First, a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who responded to my inquiry on March
25th regarding safe soy products.  I truly appreciate you're taking your
valuable time to respond.

Generally speaking, SOY is a Gluten-Free substance, but we must be careful
of various marinades (i.e. soy sauce) or additives which may contaminate the
products from our point of view. Also, many respondents mentioned that soy
may trigger a common food allergy  reaction which can cause intestinal upset
, although this is of a different nature than the toxic Gluten Intolerant
auto-immune response.  Below are listed some safe products (per the
respondents) and a short list of useful shopping and informational websites.
