Soy Sauce?!

Ok, I tried to do a search for "soy sauce" but the search function wouldn't search soy because it's less than four letters. I apologize if this was posted before but I couldn't find anything with what I was specifically looking for.

I know soy sauce is off-limits.

However, someone told me La Choy was safe soy sauce because it doesn't ferment with wheat or whatever. Is this true? Because if it is, then I'll just carry around soy sauce in my purse, haha.

Anyway, which companies are safe and which aren't?

La Choy is gluten-free, but it also tastes pretty bad. San-J makes a wheat-free tamari that can be tough to find, but is very good.

I know Whole Foods carries it in Mass.

Yup. just get one that says 'Wheat Free' on the label. The San-J brand is good. Tastes no different to the regular version, which makes me wonder why they can't just make that wheat free... <_<

I think there should be a law that says grains are only allowed in foods if they are COMPLETELY necessary to the consistency or taste! :lol: It would make the world a safer place for a lot of us and it wouldn't even effect the gluten-eaters. :D

I also recommend the San-J, it tastes just like regular.

Another good brand is Eden Soy. They also have a tamari soy sauce.

The reason commencial soy sauce contains wheat is that they can make it cheaper.

I always buy VH here in Canada. I bought it even before I had celiac disease, I didn't know there was a difference. I also have some Tamari on hand that I use when my sis is here because it is gluten-free and also she needs organic.

VH has a lot of gluten-free stuff, which is great for me because it's similar in price to "regular" soy sauces and stuff.

VH is great, and it is available everywhere in Canada. It is not available in the US, even though VH's parent company, ConAgra, is American.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
