Pssst...Sushi is just RAW FISH dressed up :blink:

They won't cook it even if you ask them <_<

Take a steak with you so you'll have something to eat ;)

I'm of no use, I live in-land. Have fun - Don't DRINK THE WASABI :blink::o

The spicy tuna sauce isn't gluten-free -- not sure why, but after my eel experience I don't need to know.

No imitation crab.

I honestly haven't run into wasabi that contains gluten, but I've heard that it _can_ -- so I'd just ask them to check the label and let you know what's in it.

I haven't run into an unsafe wasabi. Just make sure to ask, they should be able to tell you.

I also haven't run into unsafe wasabi outside of one, low-quality brand at a grocery store. It is one assumption that I make when going out to a decent sushi place. Imitation crab, eel, and anything with a sauce I mostly assume is out (but I'm also avoiding dairy and hate mayo, so that's part of it). I generally look for avocado rolls, vegetable rolls, and tuna rolls (if I'm feeling brave enough for raw fish, ha!). A handful of places use real crab in their california rolls, so I always look, though I'm almost always disappointed. :/

Here in So Cal they do "creative" rolls with crunchy fried sprinkled things on top. Those are a NO.

Sashimi and plain (not in the rolls) sushi should be fine.

Albacore tuna laid on rice is GREAT!

You've GOT to order STEAMED EDAMAME! (soybeans in the pod that you pop with your fingers and eat with your mouth out of the pod) YUM!

They often serve pineapple, oranges for dessert! I LOVE going out to SUSHI! I NEVER EVEN FEEL THE NEED TO MENTION MY FOOD ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Well thanks folks! Richard - I don't even need to research anything any more, I"ll just send you out on a hunt! Dang...wish I'd seen those things before.....I brought my own soy sauce, ate just the raw fish on rice (is that sushi or sashimi :huh: ) and holy cow, guess I"ll know tomorrow if there was wheat in the vinegar in the sushi rice....didn't even think of that......but it was SO good, just the freshest fish and it's always good to eat something different.

I truly do hope the wasabi was okay.....

So if you see me whining on here tomorrow, you'll know why...... :blink:

As far as I know, sashimi=raw fish only and nigiri sushi=raw fish with rice.

I think that is true - sashimi is just raw fish, that is what the guy next to me was eating. I asked the owner/bartender a couple of times what exactly you call the little pieces of fish on top of the rice....never got an answer besides "sushi." :huh:

I think they use rice wine vinegar on sushi rice, that should be fine. :)

You need to find out what kind of vinegar they use to make the rice sticky. Make sure it is not a grain vinegar. I would stick to raw salmon or yellowfin. I don't know about wasabi

FYI,

Distilled Vinegar, even from grain sources, is gluten free.

When they serve the sushi on the sticky rice, it is referred to as "Ngiri or Nagiri" style -- it is safe. I have yet to find a wasabi that is not safe in a restaurant.

No Spicy tuna (unless it is only dressed with syracha (Asian pepper sauce)

No crab (unless its real and 99% of places use imitation, so its not gluten-free)

No mackerel (soy sauce)

No Eel (soy sauce)

Sashimi is ok, so are Edamames (steamed salty beans)

I usually get 4 pieces of Salmon Nagiri, 4 pieces of Octopus Nagiri and 4 pieces of Toro Nagiri (Fatty Tuna) and some Edamames...

I always wonder about the wasabi ever since I was in Wegman's and decided to read the ingredients on the sushi before eating it - there was modified food starch (unidentified source) in the wasabi paste.

So this is a dumb question but if you're getting sushi rolls from an authentic japanese place is it generally okay to assume avocado rolls and veggie rolls (w/o soy sauce of course) are safe?

Most sushi is safe. You right on the Unagi, the unagi sauce that is on it has soy sauce. Also avoid any crunchy rolls as the tempura has wheat. Another roll or item ot avoid is spicy tuna. Spicy tuna is always flavored with soy sauce.

What you should try:

Maguro

o-toro

Negi hama

hamachi

teka maki

Wasabi in sushi bars is made out of horseradish, real wasabi is too expensive at 80.00 lb to juts use as a condiment. The wasabi mixture also has mustard and yellow coloring added FYI.

Hope this helps

As far as I know, sashimi=raw fish only and nigiri sushi=raw fish with rice.

Your right! Sushi actualy means seasoned rice. The forms of sushi are sashimi slices of fish, nigiri fish on top of rice. Nigiri translates ot hand press. Maki or makimono is rolls.

Yes

You also CAN NOT have anything wrapped in SEA WEED unless they can assure you its not treated with soy sauce. Many sushi restaurants use a treated sea weed.....thats what I learned in Japan.

So now...I get sashimi....or have them roll without it.

My favorite are scallops, too, but the rolls (I've never had a reaction to the sea weed) sometimes have weird sauce in them and are too scary to eat.

I grill scallops at home in butter and garlic or paprika and lemon.

yum

Wheat would have to be listed.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
