Hello, I am new to this forum.

I live in Japan, but I have never seen this type of forum in Japan.

I don't know my symptom is applied to celiac disease for sure, but I am suffering from

such a symptom.

I am surfing sites looking for some information.

With kind regards

sizuku

Hi sizuku,

I know how hard it must be for you to be celiac in Japan. I have spent 1.5 years in Japan and it was a challenge for me. 100% of people I met have never heard of this problem, and eating out was a real problem since all Japanese brands of soy sauce have wheat flour listed in ingredients... Also, as far as I researched on the Internet, there are no gluten-free bakeries within Japan, you would have to individually import products from abroad to have bread :(

However, I found one company that makes 100% rice bread that is really tasty :) They are in Hokkaido, but I know you can buy their bread in one shop in Tokyo, so maybe they sell in other places in Japan also. I don't know where do you live in Japan, but if you need an adress I can give you -or you can try browsing the web for BRICE (that is the name of the bread), as I'm afraid this site will not display Japanese characters correctly if I post them ;)

Ganbatte ne!

Hi, I'm new here but not to Japan-I've been here for 6 years and have more or less been gluten free for that long. I buy gluten free products from 2 sources here...one is www.fbcusa.com and the other is Open Original Shared Link .Both are foreign owned businesses in Japan. At FBC (foreign buyers club) you can get gluten-free bread, cookies, pasta from famous companies in the states. Check under their "general store" and in the search area type in "gluten free" or "rice pasta" etc.They are super friendly so you can email them and ask as many questions as you want. At Tengu you can buy wheat free tamari sauce (like soy sauce) and they have a few other things too. If not for these 2 companies I would have been in trouble since eating any gluten used to give me asthma! At least the senbei (rice crackers) are good!

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
