Safe Eateries In Manila And Tokyo?


Brandon Montgomery

Recommended Posts

Brandon Montgomery Newbie

Hey guys, I am going to be in Tokyo, Manila, Bangkok and Cambodia for the next two weeks. Packing a lot of gluten-free bars but I hope to be able to eat a real meal every once in a while. I am staying at great places as part of official govt travel but still, besides the hotel, and even then can be leery, are there any places anyone can recommend or any sites that have reviews of great restaurants in these areas that I can be directed too? Most worried about Manila since that is where I will spend the majority of my time. thanks!

HI, I can give you names in Tokyo of great restaurants but no one speaks English at them.

Matoi Sushi in Shiba Diamon TOkyo -- great place -- you just have to tell them ko-mugi allergy the same as Ken and Honpo san will take care of you.

AKita Chanko ryori in Koishikawa too. They usually keep some wheat free soy sauce that I gave them on hand but will make salt based than than soy sauce based sauces.

Have not been in Manilla since the revolution.. good time to get a lot of fruit there

We used to go to the hobbit house near makati

Tokyo: If you can communicate or have someone to help you communicate, you might try to find a shabu shabu restauraunt that can use just konbu and water for their broth and bring your own shoyu. Order plain meats and veg and if others will want noodles or other gluten containing ingredients, then order a sepatate pot for them.

hi Brandon,

I am heading to Manila on Business in the next week for over a month (staying in Apartments) and also very worried about finding food - would be great to hear your reccommendations

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
