Cross Cultural Foods That You Find Help Even The Worst Digestion?

I can have no grains, almost no starches, and have been avoiding the most sugary fruit for the past weeks until my inflammation goes down. Also no goitrogenic foods. So as you can see my digestion really BLOWS!! and it helps to find things that go down well. Looking how other cultures do it is very useful, because they often work with their food more than we do and actually alter the whole chemistry sometimes.

Even though grains cause me a lot of trouble, I saw that the Chinese/Japanese pound a certain rice into a paste called mochi that is not just a treat but something indicated for old hags and people in "weakened" conditions. All the starches are broken down into glucose from pounding or specialized machines. The other day I decided to try one (always needing carbs. Anything with too many always causes trouble) and it worked! It went down okay and didn't cause inflammation or anything.

Another thing that seems to be bringing my inflammation down some is Natto, which are disgusting rotten soybeans that taste like old people. But they are really healthy, and the rottenness helps make the soybeans tolerable in the GI while also deactivating the estrogen activity that is bad for men (need a source for this).

Most Asian things that are imported are poor quality though, and you really have to be careful what you're buying. So far this daifuku (mochi with paste inside) and a gluten free natto are all I've found:

Hopefully some good info comes in, because it's really hard to get enough energy when even a simple banana or apple seems to give me a reaction. Kefir and even dairy free Kefir (from So Delicious, b/c of carranegnean) give me problems so having these bacterial enzymes with every meal seems out of the question. Getting somewhat drunk on rum & whiskey seem to actually make me more energetic the next day so maybe looking into mead & moonshine might be worthwhile. Other than that I'm kind of lost when it comes to carbs aside from the obligatory squash, some berries, and very little honey.

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.
