I went to Korea about two years ago. Generally I was able to eat well and gluten free. But I speak Korean, I was born in Korea, and I have some knowledge of Korean cuisine. You appear Western from the picture on your post. My recommendations are: * Learn Korean. * Go to Korean grocery stores and Korean restaurants while you are in the US and familiarize...

In the DuPont Circle area, the places I often go to include * Chipotle, on Connecticut, near the north exit of the DuPont circle metro station. The food is cheap; I get the burrito bowl (important to avoid the burritos). I believe the hard tacos are supposed to be ok but I have never personally tried it. To be on the safe side I also avoid the sour...

I just returned from a two week trip to Korea. I found that eating gluten free was no problem in Korea. I was a bit worried because I only found people complaining online about how difficult it is to find gluten free food in Korea. I had a different experience probably because I was always with a relative who could tell me what is in the various foods...

I just read your post. You probably figured this out already but the soup galbitang is traditionally made with NO soy sauce. It is very plain, it is beef ribs boiled forever, flavored only with chopped green onions and salt. Ask for it with NO noodles just to be on the safe side. I have never had problems with this dish. I have also never encountered...

I just read your post but I see your post is dated some time ago. You probably figured this out already but the soup seollongtang is traditionally made with absolutely no soy sauce. It is basically ox tail boiled forever. Afterwards, you add a few pieces of chopped green onion, salt, rice and usually noodles. It is a very plain dish. This dish should...

I visit my relatives in Korea occasionally. I can tell you that most Korean kitchens do NOT have a western oven. Korean cuisine does not require a western type oven. They will have burners (usually 2) only. Korea as a culture does not understand people with dietary restrictions very well so just be careful. For example, people may not take you seriously...

I hope you figure out what works for you. Celiac disease appears to manifest in different ways in different people. Another thing I am trying which seems to be helping is I drink a mango smoothie with almost every meal. The smoothie is made by blending 1/2 cup orange juice 1/2 cup soy milk (if you are avoiding soy I believe you can substitute yogurt...

I also seem to have trouble with poor absorption. One thing I tried for the last 2 weeks, which seems to be helping, is I puree most of my food before I eat it. For example, I take regular chicken soup and I puree it in a blender before I eat it. I have been eating a lot of smoothies, a lot of pureed soups, apple sauce. I also generally eat my food warm...
