Kikkoman

My husband is a chef and is preparing gluten-free meals for both of us, even though I am the one with the disease-what a blessing! He prefers to use Kikkoman, but we are having a hard time finding/ordering a case of it, if it even exists, that is gluten free. Help!

Not sure about Kikkoman, but I know San-J makes a gluten-free tamari. You might try contacting the company, and see what they say.

No, they only have soy sauces that contain wheat. La Choy soy sauce is gluten free. Last time I checked Kroger soy sauce is gluten free too.

Kikkoman claims their Soy Sauce is gluten free even though it contains wheat. They say that the process breaks down all the gluten. I have heard of very sensitive Celiacs that do fine with soy sauce, and moderately sensitive celiacs who have trouble with it. Personally, I haven't tried it since going gluten-free. It's not worth the risk for me. It probably depends on how readily your individual system will recognize the gluten particles even if they're torn apart. The tests apparently don't pick up gluten in it.

I have found that San-J wheat-free Tamari sauce is much yummier than Kikkoman anyway. Even if there were suddenly a cure for Celiac, I'd never go back to Kikkoman after using the San-J. Have your husband give it a try. La Choy and Kroger work, but they don't taste as good, IMO. We buy the San-J to use in all the cooking, and Kroger for the kids because they tend to use up a lot of soy sauce and the San-J is kind of spendy. Also, the Kroger comes in a bottle that's nicer for the table because it doesn't pour out as fast as the San-J bottle. The kids aren't as picky about their soy sauce; I think they mainly are in it for the salt.

Wal Mart brand is also gluten-free. I would not use Kikoman , it was my favorite years ago. It is not worth the risk . I don't think KM tests for gluten to see what the ppm is.

These products are different in other countries. Processing for some things in Canada can be okay there but not in the US & vice versa..

Even if you could find a gluten-free Kikkoman, it wouldn't tasted like the version with wheat. The wheat does make a taste difference.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule.

      suggest gluten free food

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.
