Hey everyone!

My rice allergy has cleared up and I WANT SUSHI!

How do I go about ordering it? I never eat out, and am very nervous.

I am in the Southwestern Ontario area... So anywhere down there and Western NY... If you know some places. I WANT SUSHI! :P

Ha, thanks! I've made it before, but I really just want to go out and get it made FOR me for once... You know? (Of course you know, you're a celiac!)

Sashimi is fine and so is most Nigiri (regular sushi)

Nothing with "spicy" (most of the "spicy" contains soy sauce"

No eel (unless not marinated in soy sauce)

No mackerel (same)

No imitation crab

No California rolls (unless you do what I do and substitute shrimp for crab in those rolls -- yummy!)

No Tempura (pure flour)

No Soy Sauce (a given)

I usually get a few pieces of octopus, salmon, toro or albacore. The rice is fine and normally the wasabi is ok too.

zehr's sells sushi nori rolls cut up at their seafood counter here in kitchener-is there a zehr's near you? unsure about their ingrediants as i don't buy them...i make my own, and leave the rice out, just because i don't like the taste.

thanks for the info.

yes, zehr's has it but everything in their whole pre-made area is made on the same boards, so i got sick once and never bought anything again.

my homemade sushi is probably better anyway :P

i just want to sit down at a restaurant!

there are a handful of grocery stores (wild oats, for instance, and I think some whole foods) that make california rolls with real crab meat instead of imitation crab meat. in that case, california rolls are fine. some restaurants may do the same, but if it's not labeled, assume they use imitation crab meat for california rolls.

if I go out for sushi, I order vegetable rolls (and always ask to verify there's no sauce or anything in the roll) or cucumber or avocado rolls. seattle rolls (made with cooked salmon) can be fine too, but not everywhere has those.

When I go out to eat sushi, I bring my own wheat-free soy sauce. There is an all-you-can-eat sushi place by my mom's that is sooo good (and cheap). Does anyone know about miso soup? It comes free with the meal at that place, but I didn't eat it because I didn't know if it was gluten free or not. Thanks

Does anyone know about Philly rolls? You know, smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber?

Those were my favorite things to order from sushi places pre-diagnosis. If I can eat them again, I'll be so psyched!

Most of the miso soup in a cheap place uses stock from a can, which a trip down the grocery aisle will tell you is usually thickened with modified food starch (wheat). I keep trying on Friday nights, and usually I'm better by Monday... If you go to a really high-end place (or some hippie - earthy - crunchy places) everything is made fresh and cross-contamination in the kitchen becomes the larger concern.

Cream cheese... about half the american suppliers (including Sysco and Sodexho) deliver cream cheese that uses modified food starch as a thickener. Good luck.

modified food starch is often perfectly safe (it can be made from any starch - and is more often corn than wheat), but you do have to check on it. miso can be safe, but you have to find out what the ingredients are - there is more than one type of miso, and some types are fermented with barley. most sour creams are fine, but you do have to be aware of ingredients, and since it's often hard to ask those sorts of questions in restaurants, I tend to avoid items that have ingredients other than 'avocado' and 'rice' and the like.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
