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.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
