Soy Sauce?

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to this, it's been a week and a half so far, gluten and dairy free. So far so good, I actually feel great!!! Anyway, I've noticed on a lot of my do not eat lists and a list from my dr. it said soy sauce is a no no since there is wheat in it. Yet on so many gluten free recipes I see soy sauce listed, including the recipes on www.eatingglutenfree.com Can someone clarify this for me??? Also, has anyone had any problems with the Thai Kitchen's garlic rice noodle bowl? It is gluten free so I tried it for a quick lunch and had the worst stomach attack I've EVER had.

I buy wheat-free soy sauce from the health food store. I still check the label, to make sure there's nothing else in the ingredients that would have gluten.

I bought some Thai Kitchen gluten-free microwaveable meal one time and felt bad later, but I don't remember what the name of the meal was, and I was pretty newly gluten-free at the time, so I can't be sure that the Thai Kitchen thing was really what made me feel bad. I haven't really wanted to try any more of those since, though. Sometimes stuff that's supposedly "gluten-free" seems to bother me, again, I'm never quite sure since I've only been at this for 8 months.

One time I was sick for about 3 weeks after I'd eaten Japanese Daifukus during a weekend. You can see starch all over the oustides of those things. But I'd read the wrappers several times and it only said potato starch. Maybe they weren't really what did it to me that time, but I just felt so bad for 3 weeks that I've never felt like I wanted another Daifuku after that.

I find it hard to tell what's bothering me if I've only eaten the thing once. But I don't feel like following through with any further experiments if I'm suspicious either!

I eat thai's instant noodles all the time with no trouble. I've never had their bowls or boxed noodles though.

La Choy soy sauce is gluten-free.

Here's a Open Original Shared Link to Thai Kitchen's Allergen Info webpage. Looks like their garlic noodle bowl is gluten-free. There is a stir fry savory garlic noodle meal that's not gluten-free.

Tamari wheat free soy sauce is great!

Double check the ingredients but it is also not as salty as regular Soy Sauce which is good with me.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
