Does anybody know what brands/ types of soy sauce are gluten free? I was diagnosed last week, and as a condiment fiend, I would aprecciate suggestions. Are there any gluten-free condiment brands?

I use San J Wheat free Tamari Soy Sauce. It's expensive but wonderful. Because I really missed my soy sauce, before I found it. Shirley :D

Hi All!

I use San-J also, it has the best flavor I think. I have a gal in one of my gluten-free cooking classes that says that the Amino Acid one is gluten-free and really good. But to give you one more option, LaChoy brand is also gluten free, but it's not as good as San-J in my opinion.

Also, San-J has a gluten free and low sodium variety which is great for those of us watching out blood pressure.

LK,

May I suggest Eden Organic Tamari Soy Sauce, it's quite tasty! I've always been pretty particular about soy sauce, Kikkomans my brand (ex). The few unfortunate times I got cheap and tried something such as Kroger brand, I quickly returned it for a refund.

Is the Edens gluten-free? You tell me. Here's the ingredients:

~ water

~ organic soybeans

~ sea salt

~ alcohol (to preserve freshness)

~ Koji

ORGANIC TAMARI

"Eden Tamari is the type of soy sauce that is characterized as Wheat Free. It's fermented more quickly than traditional tamari. Koji inoculated soybeans are aged for six months in this accelerated brewing process. Tamari was originally the by-product of miso making. Today it is mash brewed. Tamari imparts a stronger more pronounced flavor like that of miso. Compare it to some Eden Shoyu, is our request."

"Meticulous tracking and audited records guarantee the purity of this food from the farm to your table."

Eden Foods Inc. Clinton, Michigan.

OK, so there you go. It's more expensive (about $4.50). I think I got it at Central Market or Whole Foods. I have no idea what Koji, miso, or Shoyu are. Nor had I ever even heard of Tamari prior to looking at this bottle. Also to be fair, this is the only gluten-free brand I've tried, so can't comment on San J or La Choy.

I use San-J's low-sodium wheat free tamari, and Bragg's amino acids - depending on the purpose.

Braggs is gluten free and since it is not fermented is good to use on a candida diet as well.

I grew up using Kikkoman and always preferred it over La Choy. If your favorite soy sauce is La Choy, you're in luck because it's gluten-free.

If you prefer Kikkoman, get the San-J that everyone mentions. To me, it tastes almost exactly like Kikkoman. Make sure you get the Wheat Free kind because not all their soy sauce gluten-free.

That Eden's Organic sounds pretty good too. I'll have to try that next time.

That's strange. I replied to Libbyk 's post this morning. But it was on the normal forum (at least I thought it was). Guess that's what I get for getting up at 4:30 this morning. Sorry all!

best regards, lm

p.s., Boy, ya can't get anything past happygirl. She's one smart gluten-free cookie!

LM,

Hey, its all still good to know information and I am sure that it has helped someone out there! Who knows how it turned up? :)

If I have my choice, I'll prefer to be a smart gluten free chocolate chip cookie...I'm craving those for some reason! :lol:

Have a great weekend!

Does anyone know if Lachoy is REALLY gluten-free? I grew up loving this stuff and I swear I get a reaction from it. I don't have any problems with soy. I even called their 1 800 number and everything.

I don't know, maybe I just had some CC!

:( I have to add the thought that there might be a chance you have an allergy to Monosodium Glutamate MSG as well... I am lucky enough to not only be diabetic and a Celiac sufferer... but I have the MSG allergy and Lactose intolerance as well.... sucks to be me!! lol! Try and see if avoiding the MSG will help!

I've always used LaChoy (low sodium) and have been using it like water scince gluten free 24 days ago (yay!)... no problems at all.

Sorry to hear your having problems though.... I'd die without my soy sauce!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
