Sushi?

I went out to sushi last night and got some rolls that contained a couple kinds of meat (none fried at my request) some avacado and cucumber and carrots with seseme sauce, wasabe and ginger (no soy sauce). They were very happy to accomodate me and claimed to check all of the other ingredients. I took it to go, ate a huge amount of rolls (for me) and then had some cranberry juice and went to bed. I woke up this morning with terrible glutening. I don't get it. I've gone there before and gotten other things without this problem. I avoid everything even seemingly harmful like the crunchy rolls even though I know they're just puffed rice. I get to eat out so infrequently that it's really disheartening when this happens. Now I have a huge amount of research due this afternoon and I'm bloated, in incredible pain and fuzzy headed. Does anybody know what did it?

Soy Sauce did it.

I've finally gotten to where I carry gluten-free Tamari with me where ever I go. I have also successfully had sushi with them using my tamari. For Xmas, I got the family gluten-free Tamari in those little packets too.

I travel a bunch for work and sushi is almost always a safe bet - short of the soy sauce.

Were you at the bar? Did you watch them make it? I would say it's possible that something was on the board, or on their fingers, OR like said before, it was the soy sauce.

:( My hubby's sad that I'm not brave enough to go for sushi since being dx'd.

What was in the sesame sauce? This sounds suspect to me as it could contain soy sauce.

I know you didn't get the crunchy rolls but in my experience, they are using tempura batter for those, which includes wheat flour and potato starch or another starch(not made from rice, that I have ever heard of). Just FYI. Did the rolls contain fake crab meat? This can include wheat but may people are not aware of it(people who don't have celiac disease).

Sesame Sauce?

Imitation Crab in rolls? (Very common - made of wheat)

Soy Sauce in Seaweed?

Tempura as the "crunchy" part (made from wheat flour)

The Triumph Dining cards I ordered came in the mail just after I posted. On the card for Japanese cuisine it lists MSG in the I cannot eat section and wasabi in the please check section. Also in the please check section is packaged roe, which is sometimes used in sushi. MSG is OK if produced in the U.S., according to these cards.

Over here in New Zealand they put a type of vinegar and seasoning in the rice to make it hold together and or to give it a bit of flavour. Could be that.

And yes surimi, or fake crab meat has gluten, and I miss that.

From what I have seen of the seaweed it is usually just 100% seaweed.

Hope you are feeling better.

As has been mentioned, imitation crab meat is a common source of gluten in sushi restaurants.

Additionally, did any of the rolls have a sauce in them? (Not the soy sauce on the side, but a sauce in with the meat/veggies.) If so, it likely had soy sauce or another sauce which contained wheat.

Another option is that the wasabi contained wheat. This isn't really really common, but it can occur that some powdered wasabis that are used contain wheat and they could have used one of those.

(The rice vinegar and mirin (rice wine) used in making the sushi rice sweet and sticky is *not* a concern from a gluten point of view.)

Just FYI--not all surimi (fake crab) has wheat starch--some brands use potato starch and corn starch instead. You have to read the labels, though.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
