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!

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
