Soy Decoder (Soy Aliases) - Avoid soy allergies and soy intolerance
The plug was pulled on Geocities so the "Soy Decoder" is offline and the original author never responded to my inquiries. So, for your convenience and mine I am posting the original content from that page on here, including the URL to the original (and now defunct) site. Note: I am not the author of that site; I have just found the list *incredibly* useful in helping me not get sick!
Sorry about the formatting, I just did a copy and paste. I'll clean up the format some other time.
Update: I found a Real Soy Sauce Substitute!
Do you miss soy sauce? If so, try "Coconut Liquid Aminos" - I missed sushi. I really missed soy sauce and tried a few substitutes I found mentioned on allergy and intolerance related web sites but nothing was remotely close. Well, a couple of weeks ago I decided to look again, because I wanted to make some shish kababs and the recipe called for soy sauce. So, I practiced my mad google-fu skills and came across a site mentioning coconut aminos. So I had to try it - I went out and bought some and tried it; sure enough, it tasted just like soy sauce, except a bit less salty. I had other people try it and they were fooled. At last, a real soy sauce substitute. So far, I've been through a bottle and a half. Check it out! http://www.coconutsecret.com/aminos2.html
