Walmart (great Value) Soy Sauce?

Has anyone else tried to Wal-Mart Great Value Soy Sauce? It says gluten free on the label, so I bought some last week. Now I am wondering if it really is gluten free.

I made fried rice and lo mein last night and used the Great Value Gluten Free Soy Sauce. Last night I started to feel SICK. Today I can hardly handle the stomach cramps, diarrhea and just general pain. I have been gluten free since 8/17/06 and I think this is the first time I have been glutened. Everything else I used last night I have used before with no ill effect. So I am thinking it had to be the soy sauce. Anyone else used it and noticed a problem? Or is it just me?

I only have a second and will try to post again later, but....whenever I get into gluten or have a reaction to something I eat I take digestive enzymes from a company out of Houston called Transformation Enzymes. They work wonderful and decrease my symptoms to nothing! I have a contact of a Dr. that will work with celiacs over the phone if you would like more information on them. I wish I had more time but my grandchildren are here, as we have a new grandbaby. I really think every celiac/gluten sensitive person would be helped by being on really good digestive enzymes no matter where they come from (if they are good that is). Also, probiotic! The minute I begin to feel those old symptoms coming on out my bottles come and out the window go the symptoms! Must run...

It could also be the soy itself . . . have you been eating much soy recently? Perhaps the increased amount in the sauce "got you". Or . . . you might just have a bug. It is that time of year. . . Or it could be the gv soy sauce . . . hope someone else will chime in with more helpful info.

Thank you, I never thought about the amount of soy. This is the first time I have had any soy sauce since going gluten free. Altough I didn't use a lot, it may just be my body couldn't tolerate the small amount I did get.

Thank you all so much for your suggestions.

Just made a Thai Pork Noodle Bowl with our "cool new find" the great value soy sauce. This is the worst reaction I've had in a while. I eat soy ALL the time, so I can vouch, at least for me, that it is not that.

Perhaps we should contact Great Value.... I'm very disappointed as I have never had trouble with GV brand before either --- although they label things that should be gluten-free anyway...

OK so I've been thinking about your problem for a while now. I have not used wall mart brands soy sauce yet, but I've used other kinds. I've had the same problems with anything soy if i drink milk or have something dairy after or before. A like horrible gurgling sound coming from your abdomen kind:) Think back to everything you had the day you had it try again and check what you eat and see what your results are, you now what I mean.Good luck!

I appreciate the advice and thought. :D

I'm a dietitian and I keep a food record, every day, of exactly what I eat (anal I know). But it comes in handy in times like these.

I tolerate wheat-free tamari (had some about a week ago in fact) without issues at all. Soy-based and corn-based products are the staples of my diet.

Nothing I ate that day was anything I had not had before, on a regular (daily) basis - and 90% of it was from a package or something that had already been open, so that means the batch did not contain gluten.

I reacted within an hour of eating the soy sauce - that's typical for me.

That said, I have found 3 other posts dating back to 2005 that had issues with wal-mart brand soy sauce. It's fishy, to say the least. I'm waiting to see what Corporate Wally has to say.

I've cooked with the GV brand of soy sauce and I've never had a problem with it. I've been using it for about a year now.

When I first went gluten free it was several months (close to a year) before I could tolerate soy or dairy products.

Thanks again for the input, it's good to know other Celiacs are using it.

I do tolerate soy, contrary to popular belief on this forum. :P

I'm curious as to the ppm in the soy sauce now... I suppose this has become my pet project for a few days.

Anyone else have experience with it?

I don't have soy sauce frequently but when I do the Walmart is the one. I haven't had a problem with it.

Hello Everyone,

I am another person who noticed a reaction to this product. Before I say anything, I should mention: I'm currently in the phase of trying to figure out what I have through a diet record. I am not necessarily gluten intolerant, although I have reason to suspect whey.

I had had no milk that day, and I have had soy before and since without issue.

My reaction to it was as follows:

- Extreme exhaustion

- Nausea

- Flushing

- Uneasy feeling

- Possible heart burn

- 20 beat per minute increase in heat rate over normal (70 to 90)

- Nasal congestion

It has caramel color. I have heard some say that that should be fine for gluten (according to the product label, it does say gluten-free), but also heard it can contain milk as a result of that. Who knows whether that is valid or not. The other natural question is MSG.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
