Uncle Ben's Rice & La Choy Lite Soy Sauce?


LLatham

Recommended Posts

Anyone experience any problems with Uncle Ben's Converted Original Long Grain White Rice or La Choy Lite Soy Sauce?

All my research online on the rice points that it's safe, but anyone have more info on LaChoy? I know it's been on here that it is gluten-free, but is the 'lite' variety of it.

I've had an unusual amount of the sauce the last days thanks to my new rice steamer, and I've been horribly ill.

I can't remember exactly but I know that when I was in the store, I looked at both the lite variety and the regular one and I bought the regular one. We avoid gluten and dairy so I can't remember what was in the soy sauce but it was one or the other because I know I didn't buy it. Sorry if this is confusing...

Oh you can't have the La Choy, it definitely has wheat in the sauce. I bought on-line the San-J Organic wheat free soy sauce. All soy sauces have wheat in them. be careful!

The regular La Choy brand soy sauce is gluten free.

Does it say wheat in the label. I"ve found most soy sauces that have wheat will list it. All soy sauces do not contain wheat. The walmart brand say gluten-free right on the label.

I called La Choy and all of their soy sauces are gluten-free - they do not hide gluten in natural flavors or caramel coloring

La Choy regular and lite are both gluten-free.

In my experience, soy sauce ALWAYS lists wheat if it has it. It's a major ingredient.

      Good day! New members here and I have a question about medication. My gastroenterologist made me stop some medication during the gluten challenge beforenthe screening test but I have a little surgery tomorrow and I need to know if I can use tylenol for half a day or if it will give me false results using it.   Thanks

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.
