Chinese Food?

So I ordered Chinese tonight. Second day of no gluten. I ordered the rice noodles with curry and shrimp. My usual order involves egg drop soup doused in soy sauce. I opted out of the soup since they were unable to tell me if it had gluten in it. I know corn starch is a big ingredient used there, but still decided to forgo it. I didn't use any of the soy sauce even though it didn't mention anything gluten related, but it did say caramel coloring, which I thought I heard had gluten in it. Is anyone able to clarify this for me? Thanks in advance!

Caramel color is gluten-free. Soy sauce usually (but not always) contains wheat. Corn starch is gluten-free.

Day two gluten-free? You are still healing. Reactions to gluten can be delayed, even once you are fully healed. Until your intestines heal, you may have reactions to any food, even though it is gluten-free.

I don't know where Adelaide is but PF Changs is a national chain that has a gluten-free menu. I use glutenfreeregistry.com for finding restaurants.

Thanks GlutenFreeManna. I'll give that website a try. Adelaide is the capital of South Australia, Australia.

Oh, well then that website may not help--I think it's mainly the US and Canada. Sorry. I know we have several people from Australia here so hopefully they will be able to help. Probably a good idea to make your own post however since the OP's post is just about Chinese restaurants in general. If you put Adelaide, Australia in the title of a new post you're more likely to get a good answer.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
