Hello, I am new to this forum.

I live in Japan, but I have never seen this type of forum in Japan.

I don't know my symptom is applied to celiac disease for sure, but I am suffering from

such a symptom.

I am surfing sites looking for some information.

With kind regards

sizuku

Hi sizuku,

I know how hard it must be for you to be celiac in Japan. I have spent 1.5 years in Japan and it was a challenge for me. 100% of people I met have never heard of this problem, and eating out was a real problem since all Japanese brands of soy sauce have wheat flour listed in ingredients... Also, as far as I researched on the Internet, there are no gluten-free bakeries within Japan, you would have to individually import products from abroad to have bread :(

However, I found one company that makes 100% rice bread that is really tasty :) They are in Hokkaido, but I know you can buy their bread in one shop in Tokyo, so maybe they sell in other places in Japan also. I don't know where do you live in Japan, but if you need an adress I can give you -or you can try browsing the web for BRICE (that is the name of the bread), as I'm afraid this site will not display Japanese characters correctly if I post them ;)

Ganbatte ne!

Hi, I'm new here but not to Japan-I've been here for 6 years and have more or less been gluten free for that long. I buy gluten free products from 2 sources here...one is www.fbcusa.com and the other is Open Original Shared Link .Both are foreign owned businesses in Japan. At FBC (foreign buyers club) you can get gluten-free bread, cookies, pasta from famous companies in the states. Check under their "general store" and in the search area type in "gluten free" or "rice pasta" etc.They are super friendly so you can email them and ask as many questions as you want. At Tengu you can buy wheat free tamari sauce (like soy sauce) and they have a few other things too. If not for these 2 companies I would have been in trouble since eating any gluten used to give me asthma! At least the senbei (rice crackers) are good!

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
