Is There A Gluten-free Ramen Noodle Out There ?


HelpingMyCeliacMother

Recommended Posts

HelpingMyCeliacMother Newbie

Hello To Everyone and thanks for any help you may offer.

I have a 65 year old mother who is newly diagnosed with Celiac.

I have some knowledge of gluten free diet since I tried

this diet for my autistic son several years ago.

I cannot find RAMEN NOODLES which are gluten free.

Are there any out there ?

Even a decent substitute ?

We have a family recipe which uses them, and I'd love

to salvage it and re-do it for my mom.

THANKS

God Bless

Sheila

There are a lot of Asian rice noodles you can use very much like ramen, but you'd have to try them to see if they gave you a finished product resembling what you're looking for.

yeah, I was gonna suggest some of the Asian rice noodles... I found some in the Chinese market that were very much like ramen noodles... and the only ingredient was rice.

Thai Kitchen sells noodle packages that are similar to ramen.

I use Thai Kitchen noodles, as well -- hey Broncobux!!! I think they're pretty good . . . and great when you need something fast! I buy mine at Meijer -- a chain that we have here. Don't know if Kroger keeps them in stock, but I'll look the next time for you . . . . Lynne

Yeah, my hubby loves Ramen and while he was home I got him to try one of the Thai Kitchen bowls and he really like it a lot, better than ramen! He is ALMOST gluten-free with me when he is here!

yeah they do... some of their products use soy sauce with wheat, and some even use wheat noodles, but the ones that are gluten-free are clearly labeled.

Kroger carries them in their "asian" food section

for about 1.00 more than Whole Foods... but they

gotta 'em. :)

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
