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!

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
