  2. i always did like sobagaki, also use sobako as a flour for pizza crust, lqvosh, crackers, whatever I feel like. even used it to make raviolli once -- mixed with a little quinoa flour. just stick to ocha and forget mugi & youll do fine.. nothing would keep me from going out to eat in japan. my friend you has a chanko nabe place in tokyo makes the...
  3. MIssys mom is right about the mugi-cha - i forgot ones and started drinking tea in some shop and that is it for 3 days. just never even occured to me then. i tend to make sobagaki instead of breads so i never thought of looking for xanthium gum. sorghum is good in japan -- usually just see it as sorghum in katakana. take care
  4. I buy a lot of miso to take home but youhave make sure its made with kome koji and not mugi. actually the bets place to buy stuff is form the JA coop stores in the country side. Im sure they must have them near you. All over chiba -- the health food store in yokohama eki has a ton of stuff as does SOGo there and tobu in Ikebukuro. yyou can also...

    ARCHIVED Thanks

    As I sit here in a hotel room in Bangalor pounding out what should be my 1000th message, I just wanted to renew my profound thanks for that past years of support from all of you. We really are an extended family of strangers bound together by the strength to overcome obsticals put in our path. Your assistance, online friendships and offline meetings have...
  7. Just dpont eat any onigiri from Family Mart or 7-11 etc. Most of them have wheat starch. Why they add wheat to a ball of rice is beyond me. You also have to be careful of the nori, Some used in some places, at least in Tokyo> is processed with soysauce. on my profile here is a link to some pages and pictures of items I found in Japan over the past...
  8. Dear Muralidharan thanks for your reply. I'm enjoying Bangalore a lot and some things have not changed like Koshys. He will always fix me something special make sure there is nothing dangerous for a celiac. there is a big change of course like cities this size everywhere else in the world but there is stil lsomething special about it. I laso spend...
  9. its really time you come back to Kona -- yeah lots of changes and some actually for the better! Besides milan I also spent time in parma which was a treat. I am really enjoying india. So what type of music do you play?
  10. Worked in Milan last year - Near Wagner station. It is very eay to survive there. A few members of the forum also live there. Enough reasons and you might move! -think of it as sa good excuse to get healthy
  11. Ah your so right Muralidharan. I too grew up on rice and not so much potato. I still much prefer rice but have to wait until my diabetes is under control better. I just got it in may. Do you know Banagalore at all? Where are you from in India? ken
  12. Hi Scotty, I would love to reply but swamped. Im also from Chicago, live in hawaii and working this month in INdia.-- Do you know Bobby Lewis and some of jazz guys? ANyway I was diagnosed 5 years ago at age 53 -- took them 6 months to figure it out. the dietary changes are worth it but it takes some getting used too. I do have to run but if you remind...
  13. Dear Muralidharan Thanks very much for posting your information. I think it will help many people coming to INdia. Just now I'm sitting in Bangalor waiting on a friend to go to dinner. As a celiac I found it very easy to order here, as you said especially in the south. Since I am also diabetic I have to be careful of the rice and can no longer have briyani...
  14. The doc Beth went to is Takashi Imai <takashikun.imai@nifty.com> whos been a good friend for 20 years. He can only help with the things you read about it and really only knows about celiac since I got it 5 years ago. Still he can help a lot with connections. Your wife can check with him ro check with Jikei daigaku where they used to do some testing...
  15. Enzymes could enhance oat-based gluten-free breads By Stephen Daniells, 02-Oct-2009 Specific enzymes could lead to better quality oat-based bread for the burgeoning gluten-free market, says a new study from Ireland. Using laccase and protease enzymes led to improved breadmaking performances and enhanced textural quality of finished bread, write researchers...
  16. Hi, Tonight I'm headed back to India for a few weeks. Your still looking for additional info, let me know and I'll try to find some answers while there. take care Ken
  17. From Me too! Have a good one!
  18. I think we are all a little different. If I inhale I get terrible cramps pain in the gut sometimes within minutes. If I ingest accidently, I get DHz within a few hours. I used to get dry heaves but that has not happened in awhile. KNock wood!
  19. I would use this as an excuse to get some new kitchen goodies. Much depends on how sensitive you are. Gluten can affect some on a molecular level! Ken
  20. Peter et al, I'm finding that even when I am 100% sure the maltodextrin is from corn and a US source, I"m still having a problem with it. I'm wondering if there are any other studies on maltodextrin and celiac or other allergies to maltodextrin itself. Ken
  21. Lucky you can find it there. I have a few trees outside and hope to live to see them fruit. It's the slowest growing of all citrus.
  22. Thanks for posting the link -- it looks great!
  23. I wondered how much we would be seeing on this with the death of Norman Borlaug last weekend. I always felt that if we graph the increase in celiac, lupus, Parkinsons, ADD and a number of other celiac linked problems, from 1970 that there would be some parallel. Based on some of the conferences I've been to on wheat & food allergies in Japan,...
  24. You should be able to develop your own ponzu sauce 1/3 cup soy sauce -- I use Wheat free San J which I like better than the others. 1/4 cup lime juice which I go out and pick. Sometimes I bring back bottled Yuzu from Japan which is the traditional citrus used 1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar ) make sure its ok -- Not all vinegars are gluten-free, especially...
