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!

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
