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.

Dangerous Gains

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.

Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
