Hi, I keep hearing that soy sauce isn't gluten free, so is that all soy sauce or just some? What is the hidden ingredieant and will it say on the label? Oh I'm in Canada if it makes any differance. :)

yes there are safe ones. i don't know if you have a walmart (not familiar w/ canada grocery stores), but they clearly label their brand things as gluten-free, and their soy sauce is. i think what you need to look for in soy sauce is a malt or carmel something or other...someone else will probably be able to let you know....:)

Walmart doesn't label anything gluten-free in Canada.

VH Soya Sauce is gluten-free.

Thank you all so much, so I need to watch for caramel as well as malt. :unsure: Boy, like the labels aren't hard enough to read I've also got to check for all these little sneaky things. :rolleyes:

And wheat. Many soy sauces are made with wheat.

I always recommend San-J's wheat free tamari. La Choy also makes a wheat free soy sauce, but it sucks. :)

Caramel coloring just isn't a gluten concern. If you have other allergies that's another matter.

As mentioned, caramel in North American products is not an issue. Wheat is a typical part of soya sauce, but there are brands that are without wheat. Personally, I find they aren't as good tasting as traditionally brewed soya sauce (like Kikkoman) though.

In Canada, VH soy sauce is widely available in grocery stores at a reasonable price, and is gluten-free. Most, but not all, VH sauces are gluten-free (there are a few exceptions). VH is only available in Canada, even though the parent company, ConAgra, is based in the US.

I think that is funny. An American soy sauce only available here! LOL

President's choice (Extra Foods, Superstore) LIGHT soy sauce doesn't have wheat in it...and I assume it's gluten-free since I haven't reacted to it.

PC no longer offers a gluten-free list and I can't be bothered to phone them for every item so I usually don't buy their stuff for myself. I *believe* I just reacted to their trail mix - that or their canned bean salad - both of which don't have a gluten source listed in their ingredients, so....I just avoid their stuff.

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
