Sushi?

Hi everyone,

Well, I am going on FOUR years gluten-free and I still haven't had sushi. I am going out with a friend tomorrow night for sushi and need to know what to watch out for. I need to be ultra-careful, since I am so sensitive to gluten and have had a few really big disasters after eating out in the past month.

Any SUSHI safety recommendations? I know to be careful of the soy sauce...but what else could pose hidden danger?

Thanks so much!

Hi Kat,

I love sashimi, and I ran across this discussion from 2005 on these boards during a bout of insomnia & bookmarked it. It looks really helpful & is REALLY detailed.

Good luck and post how it goes.

Hi!

Bring your own gluten free soy sauce. Be careful of the grilled eel, there's usually a sauce and it may be soy based. Also, don't eat the "fake" crab meat, it's processed with gluten products.

I usually stick to simple combinations.

Hi Kat!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE sushi, and its one of the few things I seem to eat these days. I always always always eat it after getting sick, because it's not heavy on the tummy. As a matter of fact, I'm eating it tonight because I got sick yesterday :(

I normally get the Philly Roll, (my favorite), which is avocado, salmon and cream cheese. Avocado rolls are great, tuna rolls, spicy tuna, salmon rolls - all great!! As far as nigiri, salmon, tuna, etc. I stay away from the eel, because of the eel sauce, as well as the crab because its more often than not imitation. Everything else I've NEVER had a problem with.

Make sure you check, because some places serve it on wooden platters, which is no good. I guess soy sauce gets on them, and you can't ever really de-contaminate wood. You can bring your own soy sauce, or just go without, which is what I do. And if you are going with someone who is using soy sauce, just make sure you seperate all the sushi from each other before you start eating, otherwise their soy sauce will drip from the chopsticks onto the plate, or could touch a neighboring roll.

Hope this helps!!

Here is what I usually get:

Appetizer - Edamames - steamed salted beans in the pod

Sushi - Usually 6 pieces "Nigiri" style, which is traditional. Normally, I get Tuna, Salmon and Octopus. Depending on how they treat their seaweed (if they put soy sauce on it, which is common - the I don't get it), I sometimes get a Philly roll or california roll (substitute shrimp for crab).

mmmm... philly roll...

Damn Casien Intolerance!

I'm just scared of Sushi with my Gluten-free Casein-free diet and the language barrier.

I should get those dining cards.

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?
