We are new to the Gluten Free diet and desperately trying to find proven gluten-free wasabi's to use with sushi. Thanks to any help you can provide!

S&B powder almost always has wheat starch in it. Sometimes their tubes do and sometimes not.

If it only says starch don't trust it. There is a brand at health food stores which is only wasabi and not bad -- not as hot as I"m used too. If your in an area like LA or Chicago you can usually find the fresh root at some Japanese markets. That is the best. Also if you can find wasabizuke , the pickled greens of hte plant, its a good substitute and most of them are safe but its good to always check labels.

I have a tin of Eden wasabi powder that has "horseradish, mustard, wasabi" as the only ingredients. It tastes fine to me, but I'm not picky about wasabi. I got it at a health food store.

Here is the manufacturer's website.

It says gluten-free right on the page.

So what should we do about wasabi in Japanese restaurants? Does anybody know what restaurants usually use?

It really depends on where the restaurant is and the level of quality. In the early 80's I wrote a guide book for visiting Japanese business men in the US listing 1588 Japanese restaurants. Went to over 300 of them. At that time only a handful had fresh or nama wasabi. Now there may be more.

You can always ask to see the tube or can they used because of your allergy. Or find a gluten free wasabi in a health food store and bring that with you as you would gluten-free soy sauce.

good luck

I realize this thread is a year old but I was searching for wasabi and ran across it. The S&B powder mentioned in this thread as containing wheat in fact would APPEAR to be gluten-free. Online, the ingredients include cornstarch, tapioca starch, and corn flour, but no wheat flour whatsoever.

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.
