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!

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
