Hi,

I am a celiac living in Boston at the moment. But my husband and I will be moving to Hong Kong in August this year. We were just there and I am really upset with the food in Hong Kong. I need to find places where I can get gluten-free stuff, including restaurants, in Hong Kong.

I will truely appreciate if someone can help me here. Or even if you can just let me know of any contact, I will really really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Shweta

Oh! I'm so sorry that there hasn't been more advice! I wish I could help you more too! I don't know how practical it is, but have you considered stocking up on products shipped from the states?

You said that you had already visited Hong Kong....Do they list the ingredients on products like they do in the U.S.? Surely, there are rice based products that you could eat. Maybe not glamourous but until you get more adapted to the culture at least you can eat. Good Luck! And congratulations on you upcoming move! How exotic!

I also suggest City Super supermarket. Their selection of gluten free foods is low, but I haven't really been able to find other places with much. They have gluten free muesli and a Australian stuff. I purchased. They also have gluten free cake mix I think. A few things, not much. Read the tags, they will say Gluten free if it is.

People in HK don't really understand the condition.... its kind of a pain.

Hope this helps.

I don't live in HK, but my sister does so I've spent a few weeks there. I loved the grocery store threesixty, I found lots of stuff I could eat. You must try their frozen yogurt! There is another ex-pat grocery store that sells gluten-free food, but I can't remember the name. It's in the IFC mall. Fruits and veggies are cheaper at the wet markets than at grocery stores like threesixty. I found that a lot of the time the waitstaff would say "ok" like they understood, but they didn't. At my last visit, I didn't know for sure that I had celiac, so I stupidly ate gluten nearly every day.

When my sister first moved to HK 3 years ago, we assumed she'd be eating chinese food all the time. The opposite is actually true. We are used to a westernized version of chinese food, and real chinese food is completly different. So, sorry I can't recommend any dim sum places etc other than one in Shenzhen. Sushi in HK isn't great, but it's safe! Vietnamese and Thai restaurants both offer rice noodles and rice salad rolls. I liked Sarhara, a moroccan restaurant in central (minus the couscous) -the owner is great.

edit- the grocery store at IFC is "city'super"

Hi

How are you getting on with the restaurants in HK? Can you give me any that have gluten-free on the menu? My parents are going there for a holiday in December. Cheers

I just checked this one out for interest sake (and for the next time I go back to HK) and it's not only stocked with gluten free stuff (brands we know like Pamelas and Kinickinick<sp?>) but it's just off the Causeway MTR station so easy access :)

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
