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 La Choy Soy Sauce. You can get it in most grocery stores.

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.

best regards, 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!

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.
