Hi, I keep hearing that soy sauce isn't gluten free, so is that all soy sauce or just some? What is the hidden ingredieant and will it say on the label? Oh I'm in Canada if it makes any differance. :)

yes there are safe ones. i don't know if you have a walmart (not familiar w/ canada grocery stores), but they clearly label their brand things as gluten-free, and their soy sauce is. i think what you need to look for in soy sauce is a malt or carmel something or other...someone else will probably be able to let you know....:)

Walmart doesn't label anything gluten-free in Canada.

VH Soya Sauce is gluten-free.

Thank you all so much, so I need to watch for caramel as well as malt. :unsure: Boy, like the labels aren't hard enough to read I've also got to check for all these little sneaky things. :rolleyes:

And wheat. Many soy sauces are made with wheat.

I always recommend San-J's wheat free tamari. La Choy also makes a wheat free soy sauce, but it sucks. :)

Caramel coloring just isn't a gluten concern. If you have other allergies that's another matter.

As mentioned, caramel in North American products is not an issue. Wheat is a typical part of soya sauce, but there are brands that are without wheat. Personally, I find they aren't as good tasting as traditionally brewed soya sauce (like Kikkoman) though.

In Canada, VH soy sauce is widely available in grocery stores at a reasonable price, and is gluten-free. Most, but not all, VH sauces are gluten-free (there are a few exceptions). VH is only available in Canada, even though the parent company, ConAgra, is based in the US.

I think that is funny. An American soy sauce only available here! LOL

President's choice (Extra Foods, Superstore) LIGHT soy sauce doesn't have wheat in it...and I assume it's gluten-free since I haven't reacted to it.

PC no longer offers a gluten-free list and I can't be bothered to phone them for every item so I usually don't buy their stuff for myself. I *believe* I just reacted to their trail mix - that or their canned bean salad - both of which don't have a gluten source listed in their ingredients, so....I just avoid their stuff.

      Muscle Twitching

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Oh, @Yaya! Five years???  How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months.  High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency.   I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks.  I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient.  My brain craved them.  I felt so much better afterwards.  On maintenance dose now.  Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95.   Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @CeliacPsycho246, My OCD symptoms resolved after I took supplements of the active form of Pyridoxine B6 called P5P and L-Theanine, an amino acid.   Pyridoxine B6 is absorbed from foods or supplements and then must be changed to its active form.  P5P is the active form.  Inflammation and malabsorption can impede this process.  Taking the active form is beneficial because it is ready to be used immediately.   L-Theanine is a natural amino acid that helps immensely with anxiety.   Together these two supplements really work to relieve OCD. I like Life Extension brand of P5P, but there are others that are labeled gluten free, too.  L-Theanine is found in chocolate, but as much as I love chocolate, Theanine  supplements work better.   Hope you are open to trying these as a stop-gap until your doctor's appointment.  Keep us posted on your results.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      Help with results please. As I have a appt after the New Year.

      One positive blood test result means you likely have celiac disease, but to confirm it they may want to do an endoscopy to verify it with biopsies. Unless you have severe symptoms now, you likely should continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed, and should eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks before an endoscopy.
