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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
