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 :)

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
