I eat Tamari sauce now too - it SEEMS to be OK with me - but I'm still adjusting to the new diet. I hear there's a period where many folks go through a recurrence of symptoms. Maybe that's what is going on with you?

I've also heard of people allergic to soy. I don't know enough about the origins of Tamari - perhaps that's part of the problem?

Good luck figuring it out! I'm learning too.

Double check the label first. It very well could be soy. Soy can cause the same problems in people as gluten. Do you eat any other soy containing products? I'm one of the ones that is intolerant to both (soy and gluten).

Welcome Zell --

Soy is poison, they don't tell you that. And some people are in denial. I found out the hard way too after it caused a thyroid problem for me. SOY is in everything and it is hidden on labels like VEGETABLE BROTH, NATURAL FLAVORING, LECITHIN, they hide it within other names. TUNA FISH cans say veggie broth and you have no idea its soy. There are NOT many types of cans or packaged tuna that does NOT contain SOY.

Pick up a couple of great books that will give you an understanding of celiac disease.

The Paleo Diet

Both books will make this much easier to deal with. You will understand how and what to eat. If you can't afford to buy them, go to your local library and do an inter library loan. They will get it for you from another library. Both books are worth the time to read it will make the quality of your health improve.

Stay tuned in here. It's a great forum and the people here care about you getting better.

Be well!

Gluten is most often a delayed reaction. Check not just what you ate right before you felt ill check the foods from 1 to 3 days before also. The delay from an intolerance reaction can make pinpointing what 'got' you a bit tough at times. I hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, be careful. Wheat free just means there is no wheat. It could have barley, malt, oats or rye in it or something in the flavoring with those things. It really needs to say "gluten free".

My dad bought me some Paul Newman cookies that said "wheat free" on the package. He was so excited to find something for me. I read the package and the first ingredient was Barley flour and it had oat flour I believe. So you do have to be careful.

Sorry you are sick. It can take a while to get better and you may have bad days still, even when you think you were gluten free.

This is #1

Soy isn't something I think is great in general but I don't avoid it like gluten.

Most of the negative things about soy do not apply to fermented products such as tamari.

All tamari should be 100% fermented soy.

I think soy is one of those foods that if you have autoimmune disorders and you are not allergic/sensitive should be taken in moderation. Most far eastern cultures eat far less soy than we Westeners imagine.

There are NOT many types of cans or packaged tuna that does NOT contain SOY.

I believe you but Europe is way different. I am reasonably sure in this because I just got back from a tuna expedition !! What I wanted was either tuna in water or olive oil so I went through the lot, I also wanted albacore steaks not bits n pieces.

Not a single can had soy except perhaps the Tuna in mayo which I didn't bother to read and the tuna salad cans, again didn't even pick up.

In the end I found tuna in olive oil and also some in sunflower but non in water without added salt.

This is why the RX's printed forms from the mainstream pharmacy have a WARNING do NOT consume ANY soy products when taking these medications.

I wasn't reactive to soy for 5-year gluten & dairy free - then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was in denial too (at first), but know I know better.

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
