hi there,
Most supermarkets carry Kikkoman naturally brewed soy sauce, which is made from soybeans, wheat and salt. That one is definitely more desirable than the brands with sugar, caramel and the like
Tastes better too, IMHO
If you have a heatlh food store .. or a some large supermarkets have a natural foods section ... look for
tamari .. which is usually just soybeans and salt. It's more expensive, but the flavour is more intense than standard commercial soy sauces so you end up using less.
I know soy sauce & tamari can generally be stored at room temp, but if you have candida concerns, I suggest keeping it in the fridge to prevent yeast growth.
[edit: tamari is a fermented food, which is not permitted on a strict anti-Candida diet. In "The Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook", it's suggested that tamari *may* be used if precautions are taken. Simmer the tamari for 5 minutes right before use OR, use in a recipe that will be cooked for at least 20 minutes.]
You'll be hard-pressed to find vinegar-free mayonnaise, even in a health food store. Kraft mayo. is made with lemon juice but it has a trace of sugar in it.
I prefer to make my own home-made mayo ... using a blend of olive oil and cold-press canola oil, lemon jce etc. It's actually very easy to make .. super-duper fast and easy with a hand-held stick blender but also works just fine to use an ordinary whisk and some elbow-grease!

note: There are recipes in Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution Cook Book for vinegar-free mayonnaise, salad dressings and sauces specifically for Candida Yeast problems.
