Lachoy Teryaki Sauce

Recommended Posts

buffettbride Enthusiast

We use LaChoy soy sauce consistently and I was pleased to see the Teryaki appeared safe as well. It is made by ConAgra which is a "good label" company. However, after a few glutenings in the last few weeks (after 3 months of NO GLUTENINGS!!! Our longest stretch yet!) this is one new product I know we have introduced that could be a culprit.

Has anyone else here used it and had or not had a reaction?

Anyway, for now we're back to basics on whole, pure foods and nothin' overly processed while she "recovers." I had all but forgotten what the brain fog, ADD-likeness, and fatigue was like it had been so long. Darn. Darn. Darn.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't know about that one in particular, because I greatly dislike the taste of LaChoy, but you can make your own teriyaki sauce:

I've used it before, but stopped b/c it didn't seem to agree with my dd. I tried calling the company, but trying to get through to a person was nearly impossible. When I pressed the option for ingredient/allergen questions, I just got a recording that stated they will "clearly list the top 8 allergens...." yada yada yada. I finally gave up, and just haven't used it since. I'll have to try making my own, b/c we love terriyaki sauce!

I recommend using San-J soy sauce (labeled as wheat free on the front - watch out, there are two formulations, one has wheat in it). I have made my own teryaki, which was really good. However, there are brand like Thai kitchen that have awesome Plum Sauce and Sweet Red Chili sauce too!

La Choy Teriyaki is gluten free.

Thanks. I think my husband has picked up a brand at Vitamin Cottage before, but I'll definitely check out that recipe. I far more enjoy the foods I cook at home than the ones I buy in the store.

La Choy Teriyaki is gluten free.
I thought so. There might be other culprits so I'm going to think about those too (she smooched her brother on the mouth by accident and he is not gluten-free and had just come home from preschool so that could have done it). That in addition to a glutening over the weekend on the same day we used the teryaki sauce. There are other factors though that could have contributed, so before I toss it I'll investigate everything.

Thanks.

La Choy Teriyaki is gluten free.

La Choy is made by Con Agra, which is one of the companies who will list wheat, barley, rye, malt. It frequently is on my shopping list and I don't see any gluten ingredients.

Please also confirm on your own when someone tells you that a product is gluten free. :) Some may have more knowledge than others and some may have a higher tollerance of gluten than others.

It is the same way with us...there are so many contributing factors that can cause my dd's moodiness, but if we start a new product, I always assume it's the new product. Then I have to factor in that she also has ureter reflux, and that can cause her to be irritable. I just never know anymore!!!!

I didn't know ConAgra labeled rye, barley and oats too......last I heard they only labeled wheat. Glad to know I was wrong!

Yup, all gluten. :) They are some of the good guys.

We use the Premier Japan Teriyaki sauce. Will use the LaChoy if desparate. The PJ one is on the spendy side but it's REALLY thick, so I dilute it before I add it to the stir fry (or whatever). It ends up lasting longer than the cheaper brands.

I did get in touch with a real person at LaChoy...I posted on another thread a couple of weeks ago....they guarantee no gluten..YAY

If I'm not mistaken, La Choy lists MSG in the ingredients, which makes it a complete no-no for me, and many others.....since going gluten-free I can't tolerate MSG at all......could that be the problem?

Ya know, I'm at a loss at this point. I don't know for sure that she's had a problem w/ MSG, but who knows when these things can rev up. She's eaten soups before with MSG w/ no problem and other things, too I'm sure.

She said she got glutened today at school and all she ate was what I packed her for lunch which was PB&J on bread from a gluten-free bakery, apple slices, salad w/ gluten-free dressing, and prepackaged gluten-free cookies. She could have picked something up from the lunch table though. Goodness knows those are a wreck.

I just hate that we were perfect for so long and now it's outta control. Whenever this happens I have the urge to feed her nothing but fruit and veggies. <_<

I haven't tried the La Choy Teriaki sauce. Doubt if I will since the La Choy Soy sauce was not to my liking. Before Celiac I considered Kikkomans to be the ultimate quality soy sauce, and La Choy to be the very lowest. The MSG wouldn't bother me (if indeed it has MSG in it), but the taste might, if it's anything like the soy sauce. I tried to check the ingredients on the La Choy website and the Con-Agra website. Niether gives any ingredients or nutritional information. Very poor company in my opinion. What are they hiding? Also, I'd be very interested to know how many different soy sauces they make for other labels. Remember the Con-Agra peanut butter fiasco?

I highly recommend Eden Organic Tamari soy sauce, or San-J soy sauce. They are both very high quality, wheat-free, and list ingredients on their websites. Eden does not offer a Teriaki sauce per se, and San-J's Teriaki sauce contains wheat.

best regards, lm

I would seroiusly avoid MSG. It's not so much that she may be intolerant it's more that the nature of MSG is a flovor enhancer that also enhances all other receptors apart from taste. This may include brain nueroceptors and enhance your susceptability to all allergens and irritants that would not be a problem without the MSG. I have not researched extensively but this was a tip from a friend who suffers allergies and developed nurological problems some years ago when MSG was added to everything even fresh meat. He recovered by removing the MSG from his diet and I also have been virtually hayfever free since going MSG free two years ago. I still test posative for the allergens but I hardly ever suffer any symptoms. It was following this path that led me to the Gluten-free Casein-free way of life.

There is MSG in many snack foods but there are many without. There is no need for MSG in foods so try life without. Hope this helps. :)

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior? 
    • trents
      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
