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.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
