I jsut recieved this emai from ConAgra regarding LaChoy soy sauce. I did a lot of label reading a while back to find one that is gluten-free and the LaChoy seemed like the winner, butust to be on hte safe side I thought I'd email them....... I have contacted ConAgra before and was told that they have a similar policy s Kraft, but haven't heard much on here about them so i was still leary.....anyway......has anyone tried it???? Is it good to go?????

Thank you for your recent e-mail requesting information on gluten content.

ConAgra Food Ingredients has done gluten testing on only a minimal number of our products. However, we did test two LaChoy soy sauces, and both tested negative for gluten. The product identifiers are:

UPC #44300 12511 15 oz LaChoy soy sauce

UPC #44300 12513 10 oz LaChoy soy sauce

We hope this information is useful to you.

Try San-J wheat free tamari. Far superior to La Choy, IMO.

I used to love San-J when I could eat soy! it even says wheat free on the bottle, just make sure you do get the wheat free one cause they also have a normal one, and my mom bouhgt that once, but then she realized before i ate what she out in it! ooops!

Tamari is a special type of Japanese soy sauce that should be wheat-free. Shoyu is the regular type, which always has wheat. San-J makes both types. Read the labels, definitely.

Both Walmart and Kroger have store brands that are gluten free. I contacted Kroger. It's the one with the red label. Walmart's has a green label and says gluten free.

Not all tamari is gluten-free! Should be, perhaps, but you still have to read the labels...

Do we sound like a broken record?

My frustration is shopping in ethnic groceries where the labels aren't even in English!

I was going to reply .. and then did a bit of research. What I was going to say is now irrelevant because it turned out to be a whole lot more complex than I thought... think inuit words for snow!

I think people should probably just read this :

queenofhearts: it also contains the Chinese and Japanese labelling !!!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.
