Is La Choy Soy Sauce gluten free? I used it 2 days in a row and am sick just wondering if someone knows for sure.

All soy sauce has wheat, unless it says gluten-free, as near as I can tell. There are a couple manufacturers that make it gluten-free, though. San-J makes a wheat-free organic tamari.

LaChoy is gluten free.

I believe that La Choy is an exception and does not have wheat. It would say wheat on the ingredient list if it did. Could you be sensitive to soy?

It is not listed as wheat on the label, but I was thinking maybe I am sensitive to soy. Thanks everyone, maybe I will call the company just to see what they say.

All soy sauce does NOT have wheat. However, most do.

Certain types of la choy are safe, as well as one of the Kroger brands. San-J's version is great, also!

LaChoy does make a gluten free soy sauce (they're regular stuff is made without wheat, as I recall, but as always, CHECK THE LABEL). However, in this food snob's opinion, LaChoy is *nasty* tasting soy sauce, and the flavor of it alone is enough to turn my stomach. :P

(I laugh, but I'm not kidding.)

Soy sauce is really very easy. If it has wheat, it will clearly say so. If it doesn't list it, it's gluten-free.

LaChoy is gluten free, but as the other food snob stated, it's nasty! I prefer SanJ's Wheat Free Tamari, I can't always afford it so I do get LaChoy for the family, I'll go without before I'll willingly eat LaChoy... (I say willingly, I do put LaChoy in some recipes sometimes but not often)

I laughed and laughed when I read this, because LaChoy is the only soy sauce I like! I have always hated Kikoman like poison .. . so I'm awfully glad that LaChoy is the gluten free brand!

      Celiac And Eggs

      By Scoobygirl3 · Posted

      I switched to egg beaters and have no issues.   Try that and see if it is a difference maker.  I would eat regular eggs and feel like a rock in my chest and stomach and just feels bloated and terrible.

      Cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      I'm like Cristiana. After getting glutened, in about two hours I start develop emesis that lasts for two or three hours with intense abdominal cramping. This is followed by several hours of diarrhea. It's like my body is doing everything it can to expel the gluten as it begins to leave my stomach and enter the small bowel. So, I'm not sure how much of it actually gets into my bloodstream to create a systemic effect. But once I get past those initial intense reactions and get rehydrated I feel a lot better. Just a day or two for me. And I should add that I am not a particularly sensitive celiac who reacts strongly to a tiny amount of cross contamination. It takes a decent amount of gluten to produce a discernable reaction in me. The last reaction I can remember having was precipitated by consuming a small appetizer-size cup of soup at a Chinese restaurant that had soy sauce in it. I was careful to choose things for the main meal that didn't have soy sauce in them but overlooked the appetizer.

      Clancy’s Hint of Lime tortilla chips Aldi

      By Saratonin · Posted

      Has anyone reacted to Clancy’s hint of lime tortilla chips? The bag says gluten free, but this is the only new food I’ve had recently and I was definitely glutened by something. I know Tostito’s brand doesn’t claim gluten free and these suspiciously taste very similar to how I remember those tasting.

      Hi @Michael McDonald and welcome to the forum. Everyone's experience varies, and I think what you are experiencing is normal, having read a lot of different accounts over the years.  Of course, there is always just a slight chance that gluten might still be getting in somewhere, or that your symptoms might also be down to a gastric virus or food poisoning too, it sometimes is difficult to be sure which is which! But from my own experience, my own reactions have changed over time. Now I react differently to a significant glutening (vomiting, chills, palpitations) and the effects are about 2-3 hours after the glutening.  Sorry for TMI but I think the gluten doesn't hang around in my system as long because I throw up. Before found it took me maybe over a week to feel a lot better.  Although I felt nauseous I wasn't actually sick, so I guess more time for the gluten to hang around in my system.  I would experience chills, dizziness and diarrhea immediately.  Then, bouts of feeling unwell again for perhaps the initial week.  As well as oten feeling just plain weird and out of things.  The thing other thing would be developing a gastritis like sore stomach which could go on for two weeks or more, in the ensuing days.  I would never recommend popping a PPI long-term (unless medically advised, of course,), but time has taught me that a short dose of omeprazole 20mg for maybe 2 -3 days post glutening  helps nip this gastritis pain in the bud.  I take it first thing in the morning, with a glass of water.
