Sushi & Indian Food

[abennis]

Hello,

I am 23 years old and was basically accidently diagnosed with celiac's disease about a month ago. They were looking for something else and discovered through blood work and a biopsy that I have celiacs. I realize that I am very lucky to be symptom free, however, it makes sticking to a gluten free diet VERY difficult. Not only do I have no incentive, but I can't tell if I am unknowingly eating contaminated foods. I am finding plenty of ways eat gluten free at home that are both tasty and easy. My real problem is dining out. I keep reading that indian cuisine and sushi are relatively safe options. I know that I have to stay away from most soy sauces, but what about the suaces that come with the eal and spicy tuna rolls? I am also confused about which curries and sauces are safe in Indian restaurants? Are the any standards that are generally safe? Or do I have to find out the indgredients at each restaurant? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am still feeling pretty lost in this whole process

Thanks!

Aimee

The marinated eel has soy sauce. The spicy tuna can also have gluten. In addition, stay away from the orange colored roe (some brands might be gluten-free but the one I looked at one time wasn't) and the fake crab. Otherwise, eat and enjoy.

I don't know enough about Indian food to comment but I do know there are some safe choices.
