Sushi At Home

I've only tried making sushi once and that was prior to celiac disease. I would love to try it to make sushi at home but I've got a couple of questions.

I live in an area that doesn't have many choices for sushi making. I wasn't able to find real Wasabi but I found S & B Prepared in tube. Does anyone know if this is gluten free? I've tried to contact S & B and I got an error.

The grocery store had sushi rice but is produced on shared lines with gluten. I did notice a gluten free brand that has short grain rice.

I also picked up KAME Japanese Rice Vinegar, Eden Nori, & Yamamotoyama Toasted Seaweed.

Any ideas would be very helpful!! :)

I use Lundberg Farms Sushi rice... Eden Nori and Marukan Rice Vinegar

I didn't realize Lundberg Farms had sushi rice!

I found a recipe online for homemade pickled ginger that uses rice vinegar. The sushi resturant I used to frequent made a chilli dipping sauce that was out of this world. I my try to use that instead of the wasabi...

I got a Sushi book and video for Christmas and I want to start practicing. :D

Thanks!

yes they do! I love making sushi, it's a lot of fun... I am scared of raw fish at home though, so I stick to vegetarian sushi at home! LOL...

I haven't found a Wasabi that has been verified gluten-free, but I also haven't looked very hard... I made pickled ginger once, and I learned that you need to use very young roots for it, not the big stringy ones! Tender baby ginger roots...

my fave combination is avocado, cucumber and cream cheese with the sushi rice in a nori roll, I also use the San J low sodium wheat free tamari, I think the low sodium one tastes so much better than the regular one.

I use a wasabi powder....very easy to use, just add water to make it a paste. But, I will have to check my email - when I asked them if they were gluten-free, I got some weird response.....Will let you know. I stopped using them anyway b/c that was around the time when I was sick and couldn't find the source. I since found the source but never added the wasabi back. Sushi can be very good without wasabi too - I use Bragg's liquid aminos and the saltiness takes care of any need for wasabi for me.

The Kame vinegar is gluten-free, I have emailed them 2x and called 1x to be sure. When I called though, the lady was a bit off...she told me all of Kame's sauces are gluten-free (not true if you look at some labels) and told me that they couldn't list any products as being gluten-free since they are made in the same facility as wheat stuffs. I use it anyway and haven't had problems (I'm super sensitive, but then again, that might not mean anything).

This sounds wonderful, I can't wait to try it! On the veggie side...I like plain cucumber rolls but this sounds so much better. I thought maybe I could get real canned crab and give it a try. I've never had canned crab so I'm not sure how great it would be. :unsure: I also thought about doing a shrimp roll from shrimp tempura (made with gluten-free pancake batter.)

Now that you mention it I remember seeing powder wasabi at an other grocery store. Yeh, I would love to know if it's gluten-free if you can find the e-mail. I don't mind to skip the wasabi but my dh has gone gluten-free for my dd and I and he LOVES & misses sushi. I thought it might me special for me to fix it for him as well.

Thanks again everyone! :)

Its Hime brand Powdered sushi wasabi, distributed by JFC International Inc in San Francisco. Here's there email response (What confused me was the 'ko' on the end of the name, I wasn't sure that they were talking about what I was talking about, maybe I should write again just to be safe).

On the wierder side, there is a Hawaiian snack called Musubi which has been stolen from the japanese and modified. Its like making big Maki rolls, but you do it while the rice is warm and the filling is spam or chicken which has been fried in soy sauce. Toss a little toasted sesame seeds in there, roll, and enjoy warm or cold.

Its the best thing on the planet. Everyone I descrbe it to says eeewww weird, and then I make it for them, and they eat all of it, and request it when they come over.

Thanks elonwy,

My dh just bought some shrimp at the store. Let me know if you come up with any other ideas. I love trying new things to fix.!! :D

I thought about doing a smoke salmon and cream cheese roll. The resturant I used to go to offered a soft shell crab roll. :)

ooh, I'm glad you brought this up. I have been avoiding the wasabi, but now maybe I'll check out the Hime stuff. Btw, Hime has THE BEST brown rice ever. I normally don't care for it, but theirs is so darned good. :D

Kaseysmom, I didn't realize you ate soy. Don't know why....Enjoy the tamari for me :P

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information. I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS...

      Vaccines

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too. I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience. They take you seriously and they check everything. I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.
