Tamari & Coffee

Hi

I was wondering if anyone uses Tamari Soy Sauce??? Supposedly it's gluten-free but I've used it a few times and end up w/ glutened symptoms...just curious if anyone had any input.

Also, is coffee something you have to check w/ each manufactor about? I'm talking about already ground up coffee you buy at the store, not coffee that you get at Starbucks, etc.

Thanks!!

I use Bragg's which is just soy without alcohol. I don't know if the alcohol in Tamari would be a problem though. I like the little spray bottle Bragg's comes in...I make avocado sushi rolls at home and take it in a little ziplock container on road trips. That way I just get out at the picnic table and spray my sushi. We get a few strange looks, I'll admit.

Tarmari is not universally gluten-free; you've got to find a version that doesn't have wheat in it. San-J makes a gluten-free tamari.

Edensoy also makes a gluten-free soy tamari soy sauce.

Most tamari DOES have wheat. You have to check. I've never found a coffee like you're asking about with gluten. When I started I was warned about decaf and flavored coffees in cans and bags, but in four years have yet to find one that isn't gluten-free. For some reason, I still worry about the flavored ones, which I don't really like anyway, but just regular coffee is without exception gluten-free.

Perhaps it's a problem with soy?

lovegrov Collaborator

That is the San J one without wheat? They make both.

Don't know about the coffee, but as for Tamari, It CAN be wheat-free, but not necessaritly. I thought "Tamari" meant wheat-free. It doesn't. Just check to see that it's wheat/gluten- free. I learned this the hard way.

Okay issue resolved....apparently the San-J Tamari I have is NOT the gluten-free one...

DUHHHHH. How dumb am I feeling right now? Then again, I am still new to this so that makes me feel only half as dumb...HA!!

Thanks everyone!

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
