Top clues that you may have Celiac disease
Having been diagnosed myself about six years ago, I feel pretty qualified to offer up this diagnostic checklist: You fall asleep at your desk more than three times per day and now have bruises on your forehead from hitting the keyboard. The letter “H” is permanently stamped into your right eyebrow. You eat like there’s [...]
It pays to go with your gut
Sometimes you just have to respect your gut instinct for important decisions. (Pun intended) After about six months of dealing with all of the items on the surefire Celiac diagnostic checklist, I decided to pay a visit to the local gastroenterologist. That was fun. I’ll spare the details, but let’s just say that the local [...]

Are you allergic to bread?
Question (from pretty much everyone): “Are you allergic to bread?” Me (over and over again): “No, but I am allergic to being asked if I’m allergic to bread.” Next Question: “So can you eat donuts?” Me: “Can you eat rocks?” Celiac Disease is an autoimmune condition, not an allergy. There’s a big difference between the [...]
au⋅to⋅im⋅mune [aw-toh-i-myoon]
The concept of “autoimmune” is pretty simple. Basically, your auto-antibodies have a terminal crack habit. Either that, or they have spent too many days watching re-runs of Gilligans Island and have lost all short term memory as a result.

What’s for breakfast? Glutino English Muffins
Glutino English Muffins are one of my long term favorites. I always have some in the freezer. The only thing about them is that they don't really … [Read More...]

About Celiac Bites…
After an 18 month adventure through the catacombs of the medical system, I was formally diagnosed with Celiac Disease. The bright side of that journey is that I know 3,712 nasty and horrible conditions that I do NOT have. [Read More …]

I know this one! It’s gluten free!
It might be gluten-free, but it is a sad excuse for soy sauce. Soy sauce should be made from soy beans, not hydrolyzed soy protein, corn syrup, and caramel color. Nasty stuff. San-J Wheat-Free Tamari is worth finding.
Another slightly unusual one here…
I completely agree with Patti – San-J Wheat-Free Tamari is pretty darn good soy sauce and it IS gluten free. We use it all the time in our home.
Now quality and flavor issues aside, the most official word is that La Choy is in fact gluten free. HOWEVER, lot’s of celiac’s report getting sick from it. Check out the most helpful forums at http://www.celiac.com for more detail on that. Not sure what the issue is there – perhaps its a very slight cross contamination issue from production of La Choy. I’ve run into a number of foods that are gluten free that make me sick – mainly due to processing on shared facilities at the point of manufacture.
Thanks for the insights and join us next time for Truth or Consequences!
GF but not very tasty… I’ve not had problems with it but never had too much at one time. I typically by a bottle a grocery, take it to a sushi bar and leave whatever is left (almost all) behind. Wasteful but beats eating some of it dry!
yes, it is gf
Usually regular soy sauce contains gluten, I think.
YES,La choy soy sauce is gluten free.
I’ll buy San-J. Thanks
I get sick from la choy soy sauce, so even if it claims to be gluten free I will not eat it. I have found that other celiacs react to it too. So NO not gluten free even if they claim it is!
I too have gotten sick from eating La Choy soy sauce – I think it is the caramel coloring in this product, which is a no-no for those of us suffering from celiac disease.
Be sure to check the source of Caramel Coloring – much of it in the US is corn based which is OK!
Didn’t La Choy USED to be labeled GF? Now it’s not… Which I’m worried means that they’ve stopped testing or may be using the same lines to produce their non-GF products.
