Does anyone know if Crystal soy sauce is gluten-free? This is from Baumer Foods. We are currently away from home and staying with relatives for the weekend. I've looked on their website and didn't find anything. I've also forgot what mainline brand is gluten-free. We are in a small town with a little grocery store (no health food store).

Thank you for any help!!!

La Choy is gluten free--the ingredients do not list wheat. What ingredients does Crystal soy sauce have?

Note, not all San-J is gluten free. Make sure you find the one that says wheat free. It has the silver labelling, and says "Organic Tamari" - Wheat Free Soy Sauce

Here are the ingredients for the Crystal soy sauce

Hydrolyzed soybean and corn protein,

Water,

Corn Syrup,

Salt,

Caramel color

Since we are away from home I'm having to make some different adjustments. (I'm sure everyone can relate to that!) Of course i have the safe food at home. ;) I'll probably just go to the store and get some La Choy.

Thanks for the help everyone. :)

i would not trust the hydrolyzed soy and corn proteins those migth have wheat in them, i would go to the store and buy la choy just to be safe, you would not want to get sick while away from home.

Hydrolized soy and corn proteins absolutely do not have wheat, rye or barley. They have corn or soy. The problem with soy sauce is wheat and when there's wheat it's VERY clearly listed since it's usually the second ingredient. If it doesn't say wheat, it's safe.

I thought hydrolyzed meant liquified? That shouldn't turn it into wheat...

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree that the gastritis may go away after you've been on a gluten-free diet for a while. If you are concerned, it might make sense for you to do a follow up biopsy after  a year or so on a gluten-free diet. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Testing for celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Getting tested for celiac disease is a valid concern, especially given your history of microscopic colitis and the potential risks associated with undiagnosed celiac disease, such as cross-contamination, nutrient malabsorption, and increased cancer risk. Since you’ve been gluten-free for years, reintroducing gluten for the standard celiac blood tests or endoscopy would be challenging, as it requires consuming gluten for several weeks to months, which could worsen your symptoms and disrupt your daily life. Gene testing (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8) through a lab like EnteroLab could be a helpful first step. While these genes are present in nearly all celiac patients, having them doesn’t confirm celiac disease—it only indicates genetic susceptibility. If you don’t have these genes, celiac disease is highly unlikely, which could provide some peace of mind. However, if you do have the genes, it doesn’t confirm celiac disease but suggests further testing might be warranted if you’re willing to undergo a gluten challenge. Another option is to discuss with your doctor whether a follow-up endoscopy or other non-invasive tests (like stool tests for gluten antibodies) could provide insights without requiring a gluten challenge. While a formal celiac diagnosis can be important for ensuring strict dietary adherence, access to gluten-free options in hospitals, and monitoring for complications, it’s also worth weighing the risks and benefits of reintroducing gluten. If you’re already strictly gluten-free and managing your symptoms well, the urgency of a formal diagnosis may depend on your personal health goals and concerns. Consulting a gastroenterologist familiar with celiac disease and Microscopic Colitis can help guide your decision.
