Wagammas (in Birmingham Uk)

went out on sunday with a friend and the new blokey and we finally settled on Wagammas for food.

Had a quick scan of the menu, and think OK its a Japanese (all be it westernised) Noodle style bar.. they have rice noodles and such so SHOULD be oK...right?... Oh so very very wrong!

when i explained my problem (lastose intollerant celiac) i got given a sheet that lists the foods i 'can have with moderations' .. great i think... so i look.. i am not even entirly sure how they have managed to get lactose in some of the dishes the list said i couldnt have but im not going to risk it, i figure they know what their ingrediants are!...

so i sat and cross referenced the lactose and gluten that left me with two things that i could eat.... BUT once you put the MSG in... NOTHING!

they have got MSG in their miso! what cheap rubbish are they buying!

I explained my problem to the waitess who was clearly out of depth once the trusted 'list' had failed her... and the manageress came over and asked what the problem was, i explained and she basically said if theres nothign you can eat you cant eat here...

now given they make it all from scratch and its not exactly rocket scienec and all i wanted was stir fried veggies and a bit o meat (but not their chicken which has milk in it! (again withthe cheap meat!) and some rice noodles i wouldnt have thought it would be THAT hard to accomodate (ive had some loverley peeps at various places that happily sort something) but no.. apparently she couldnt do that.. she could modify stuff on the menu but not deviate so much.. and that that was the menuand if there was nothign i could eat then i couldnt eat there...

so we left.

Ended up at a loverly place called Bar Soya (next to the rag market) where they make their own rice noodles (best ever btw! noym) and who made me exactly what i wanted with the most amazing noymest crunchy veggies and things that havnt made me ill and i will be most definatly telling everyone in the world to go there!

That sucks, I hate going into a restaurant and not being able to eat anything or only being able to eat the the most basic thing, Try Metro Bar and Grill the food is amazing and they have a massive range you could eat. Its down colemore row near the city center.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
