I can't speak to China Lily, but VH is gluten-free and is widely available in Canada. We have been using VH since my diagnosis mid-2000.

Like Peter I use the VH brand soy sauce, also their other sauces as they clearly label any "trouble" ingredients.

I'm not sure about China Lily but did find this post in the forum:

Hello Torontonians, Torontoites or Easterners.

I am trying to find out if China Lily Soy Sauce is gluten-free.

The ingredients are:

Soya based hydrolyzed plant protein

water

sugar

salt

caramel

starch

spices

sodium benzoate

I can't find any info on the internet and I can't find an 800 #.

I have no desire to spend a lot of $$ on long distance charges, either.

I'm looking for the source of the starch and I'm not sure about the caramel either. Is that usually brown sugar or molasses? Or can it be barley sometimes?

If anyone out there can call and post back, I'd love it. And, if I ever meet you I'll throw in a firm handshake and a sincere thank you.

That's all the contact info I have. I guess if I can't find anything out, I can call CFIA. (For the record, I am using VH right now, but would like to use China Lily.)

as for ones NOT to use in Canada: Kikkoman and Lee Kum Kee, both clearly list wheat in the ingredients (actually all the LKK stuff is troublesome <_< darn it!)

Kathy,

We buy the Noname brand 'lite' soya sauce (from Loblaws). It is gluten-free and much lower in sodium.

(If you google how to make home-made soya sauce, you'll find that wheat is an essential part of 'real' soya sauce. You start by making a soy and wheat dough, let that ferment, and then put it into a brine for a second fermentation.)

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.
