I Need Sushi!

I know I can't eat raw fish during pregnancy... and I know that the imitation crab stuff (which is kinda nasty anyway) has gluten.

Is there anything sushi-like I can eat? Is smoked salmon okay? How about roe? I could probably get veggie rolls and roll them in roe, that might satisfy this current craving...

Please help! I have never had a craving like this in my life... it's been 3 days. I kept thinking it would just go away if I ignored it long enough... but it hasn't... and nothing tastes good at all right now... not even my all time favorite foods...

Can you make your own, and use broiled salmon or even canned? It's really not hard to make. Mine never look as neat and perfect as the ones at restaurants, but they taste just as good!

If you don't want to bother rolling them up, you could serve broiled salmon with gluten-free teriyaki salmon over sushi rice (which is regular rice mixed with a combo of vinegar and sugar heated together until the sugar melts and dissolves) while still hot. Sometimes I add thawed frozen mixed vegies to the rice, too. You could sprinkle it with shredded nori (the seaweed).

The Triumph Dining cards for Japanese say that packaged roe(which is commonly used)may contain gluten. Pure, fresh roe is safe.

If you make your own you can do tuna mayo, which is yummy. Avacado, cucumber, fresh crab, egg individually or combined are all good fillings. You don't have to roll them either. You can make chirashi sushi, which is a bed of the sushi rice and everything sprinkled on top. Beware that omlett pieces added to prepared sushi can contain the slightest amount of soy sauce and/or dashi(broth) or other ingredients.

Our local supermarket uses a Tsunami brand in store sushi maker guy. My daughter and husband successfully eat veggie combos (has seaweed wrapper, rice and veggies inside, they have single veggies or mixed ones). They can also usually eat the shrimp california roll (as long as it's not tempura or fried). The nice thing about getting it in the supermarket is it's all labeled with all ingredients. Whole foods sushi is pretty good that way too. They even use brown rice there and will make it to order. Just make sure to bring it home and use it with your own gluten free soy sauce and enjoy. Also, I just noticed at our local Thai place, restaurants can now get gluten free soy sauce packets from www.kariout.com. We were thrilled not to have to travel with our own soy sauce anymore.

Enjoy.

I'm craving sushi too and am preggers, what's up with that?? lol

So is ordering from a sushi bar safe if you make sure no gluten is in it and to use gluten-free soy sauce? What ingredients do you have to look out for?

That would totally make my day! I'm craving it like crazy!

vegetable rolls and cooked salmon rolls are what I tend to go with, sometimes shrimp nagiri. check on the internal ingredients, of course, but they are often safe. "what" you can have depends on the kind of sushi available to you. I've found that the sushi selection (of the more esoteric things) in SoCal is different than Seattle, and that varies greatly from location to location. if you were here, I'd advice the sundried tomato and avocado roll, and a seared salmon with cucumber and lemon zest roll. :)

If you want to make your own, it's pretty easy and you can customize your ingredients safely. I've served it as a salad like in this first recipe, instead of rolling it. I've also put the rolled recipe below. I was able to find the rice, nori and wasabi at my local QFC but you might have to try an asian market, depending on your locale.

I order California rolls with King Crab only (no imitation crab meat) and California rolls with shrimp instead of crab. I bring my own powdered wasabi as the kind they serve almost always has gluten in it due to using dijon mustard.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
