My husband is a chef and is preparing gluten-free meals for both of us, even though I am the one with the disease-what a blessing! He prefers to use Kikkoman, but we are having a hard time finding/ordering a case of it, if it even exists, that is gluten free. Help!

Not sure about Kikkoman, but I know San-J makes a gluten-free tamari. You might try contacting the company, and see what they say.

No, they only have soy sauces that contain wheat. La Choy soy sauce is gluten free. Last time I checked Kroger soy sauce is gluten free too.

Kikkoman claims their Soy Sauce is gluten free even though it contains wheat. They say that the process breaks down all the gluten. I have heard of very sensitive Celiacs that do fine with soy sauce, and moderately sensitive celiacs who have trouble with it. Personally, I haven't tried it since going gluten-free. It's not worth the risk for me. It probably depends on how readily your individual system will recognize the gluten particles even if they're torn apart. The tests apparently don't pick up gluten in it.

I have found that San-J wheat-free Tamari sauce is much yummier than Kikkoman anyway. Even if there were suddenly a cure for Celiac, I'd never go back to Kikkoman after using the San-J. Have your husband give it a try. La Choy and Kroger work, but they don't taste as good, IMO. We buy the San-J to use in all the cooking, and Kroger for the kids because they tend to use up a lot of soy sauce and the San-J is kind of spendy. Also, the Kroger comes in a bottle that's nicer for the table because it doesn't pour out as fast as the San-J bottle. The kids aren't as picky about their soy sauce; I think they mainly are in it for the salt.

Wal Mart brand is also gluten-free. I would not use Kikoman , it was my favorite years ago. It is not worth the risk . I don't think KM tests for gluten to see what the ppm is.

These products are different in other countries. Processing for some things in Canada can be okay there but not in the US & vice versa..

Even if you could find a gluten-free Kikkoman, it wouldn't tasted like the version with wheat. The wheat does make a taste difference.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Confused with test results

      By Captain173 · Posted

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      Anyone Got Sick From Canola Oil?

      By gailc · Posted

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.
