Going Out For Sushi

We're going out for sushi tonight for the first time since I've gone gluten free. I'm hoping it will be a good experience as we don't go very often.

I feel prepared for what to order and what not to order and I'm looking forward to trying some new things that I haven't tried before because I got in the habit of having the same few I know I like.

If my memory is correct, the octopus is not gluten free and all (most) imitation crab meat is not gluten free.

See this thread:

No miso soup or tempura (obviously). Stay away from eel, I believe it's the freshwater one that has the sweet sauce which contains soy sauce. Bring your own soy sauce, of course!

I'd never heard about octopus being non-gluten-free. Stay away from futomaki, the rolls with lots of items...the tamago (egg) and kampyo (gourd) are both prepared with soy sauce. I love sashimi or a dish called chirashi-sushi, which is a big bowl of raw fish on top of sushi rice. Yum!

OOps, I forgot to add the link to the Japanese celiac dining card!

Yup, memory not so good. It's the eel, not the octopus. Who would eat either, yuck. :unsure:

It seems that life was a little easier regarding sushi restaurants just a decade or so ago, and this may be more of a regional thing, but's it's definitely at both ends of the east coast here in the states. Now when I see sushi on the menu, it isn't always a Japanese restaurant that I'm sitting in. This makes for some disasters, but also for some serendipity. For instance a soup that I ordered in one of these fusion restaurants in Florida, which would normally not contain any soy sauce because it was a Thai soup and fish sauce is more commonly used was soy sauced to pieces. OTOH, one of the Thai restaurants that I frequent here in Maine serves decent sushi that seems to have the usual restrictions for celiacs, but since it's a Thai restaurant and they use rice flour in everything, I can have their tempura, because it and everything that gets deep-fried is rice flour-based. Combine that with the language barrier that sometimes crops up and you've got a real shot in the dark.

Hope you had a good experience, gfpagan!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
