Hi, Finally compiled the pictures from the food show in Tokyo.

I added a section to my web site --See my profile for the link.

It shows many pictures and some translations of different foods that can be found in a health food and department stores. Also pictures of gluten-free foods from Venezuela and Thailand as well as a link for gluten-free pasta from Italy.

I'll continue to build the site with info I find in Tokyo as well as some

restaurant names when I have time.

Thanks for all the products and info.

Do you know of a good Terriaki sauce that is gluten-free/CF & nut free? And do you have any recipes for Japanese meals? I used to eat at Japanese restaurants and really miss it.

Ken, thanks for the great photos! They are a good resource.

I noticed the cookies from Soken. They are the company that we ordered from and had shipped to "home" last fall.

The Tomizawa labels take me down memory lane. I used to buy cake baking supplies from them when I was living in Tokyo in my 20's.

And the rice flour labeled Rible is the one that my MIL purchased for use in preparing food for me. The millet soy sauce labels look familiar too. That may have been the one she had available for me.

Take Care.

The following cookbook was given to me from my students and is a good book of basics that are authentic.

I also have this one and another in the series.

I also use this site as a resource sometimes.

There are quite a few sites like this on the internet too.

As with anything, we have to adapt them to gluten-free and do our homework on ingredients. Let us know if you have any more questions.

Hi,

Didn't find a terryaki sauce. I tend to make my own with the san-j soy sauce, sugar and some fresh citrus. Something which I cant remember but if you remind me when I get back in a few weeks I'll check my notes at home. I guess it depends on what you like to eat. I used to enjoy the grilled fish and thanks to some creative chefs can do so again.

Instead of soy sauce they have been grilling with with salt water -- WOW is it good.

Been eating a lot of seasonable veggies here, sauted in butter and there is also nabe, especially chanko nabe. Instead of the dashi or soup we used to make, we use salt and sake broth cooked down with bonito flakes and gobo root.

Just had it last night but getting hungry thinking about how good it was!

take care

Thought you would like this stuff. I bought a ton to bring home and play with.

The kabocha flakes and purple sweet potato flakes look like they would make a great breading for something.

Have another 2 weeks to explore and see what else I can come up with here.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
