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 !!!

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes! P.S.  interesting reading: Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
