Hey everyone!

My rice allergy has cleared up and I WANT SUSHI!

How do I go about ordering it? I never eat out, and am very nervous.

I am in the Southwestern Ontario area... So anywhere down there and Western NY... If you know some places. I WANT SUSHI! :P

Ha, thanks! I've made it before, but I really just want to go out and get it made FOR me for once... You know? (Of course you know, you're a celiac!)

Sashimi is fine and so is most Nigiri (regular sushi)

Nothing with "spicy" (most of the "spicy" contains soy sauce"

No eel (unless not marinated in soy sauce)

No mackerel (same)

No imitation crab

No California rolls (unless you do what I do and substitute shrimp for crab in those rolls -- yummy!)

No Tempura (pure flour)

No Soy Sauce (a given)

I usually get a few pieces of octopus, salmon, toro or albacore. The rice is fine and normally the wasabi is ok too.

zehr's sells sushi nori rolls cut up at their seafood counter here in kitchener-is there a zehr's near you? unsure about their ingrediants as i don't buy them...i make my own, and leave the rice out, just because i don't like the taste.

thanks for the info.

yes, zehr's has it but everything in their whole pre-made area is made on the same boards, so i got sick once and never bought anything again.

my homemade sushi is probably better anyway :P

i just want to sit down at a restaurant!

there are a handful of grocery stores (wild oats, for instance, and I think some whole foods) that make california rolls with real crab meat instead of imitation crab meat. in that case, california rolls are fine. some restaurants may do the same, but if it's not labeled, assume they use imitation crab meat for california rolls.

if I go out for sushi, I order vegetable rolls (and always ask to verify there's no sauce or anything in the roll) or cucumber or avocado rolls. seattle rolls (made with cooked salmon) can be fine too, but not everywhere has those.

When I go out to eat sushi, I bring my own wheat-free soy sauce. There is an all-you-can-eat sushi place by my mom's that is sooo good (and cheap). Does anyone know about miso soup? It comes free with the meal at that place, but I didn't eat it because I didn't know if it was gluten free or not. Thanks

Does anyone know about Philly rolls? You know, smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber?

Those were my favorite things to order from sushi places pre-diagnosis. If I can eat them again, I'll be so psyched!

Most of the miso soup in a cheap place uses stock from a can, which a trip down the grocery aisle will tell you is usually thickened with modified food starch (wheat). I keep trying on Friday nights, and usually I'm better by Monday... If you go to a really high-end place (or some hippie - earthy - crunchy places) everything is made fresh and cross-contamination in the kitchen becomes the larger concern.

Cream cheese... about half the american suppliers (including Sysco and Sodexho) deliver cream cheese that uses modified food starch as a thickener. Good luck.

modified food starch is often perfectly safe (it can be made from any starch - and is more often corn than wheat), but you do have to check on it. miso can be safe, but you have to find out what the ingredients are - there is more than one type of miso, and some types are fermented with barley. most sour creams are fine, but you do have to be aware of ingredients, and since it's often hard to ask those sorts of questions in restaurants, I tend to avoid items that have ingredients other than 'avocado' and 'rice' and the like.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      @Marie70, it is very important that your daughter not begin experimenting with eating gluten free until all testing for celiac disease is complete. Doing so will invalidate the testing. Normally, the testing involves two stages. The first stage is blood antibody testing as per the article linked by Scott above. As you can see from the article, there are a number of tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease but most physicians will not order a complete panel. At the very minimum, your daughter should request two antibody tests, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA". The tTG-IGA is considered the centerpiece of celiac disease testing but if total IGA is low (i.e., if she is IGA deficient), this will result in an artificially low tTG-IGA score and possibly a false negative. Many general practitioners are not very knowledgeable about celiac disease testing so we have found we have to be a little assertive in order to get proper testing done. I don't know under the relational circumstances how much input you will have with your daughter about these things but I thought I'd pass the info on to you anyway. The second stage of celiac disease testing involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining which is then sent to a lab for microscopic analysis. This checks for damage to the small bowel lining and is confirmation if any of the blood antibody tests are positive. It is also considered to be the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Again, should her antibody testing be positive, your daughter would still need to be consuming gluten until after the endoscopy/biopsy is complete.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By Klsdurbin · Posted

      No!!! Celiacs disease does not go away. You can’t outgrow it, and if all proper diagnostic procedures (blood test and endoscopy) were followed when you were 8, it’s almost impossible to be mis-diagnosed.    stoms and reactions to gluten do change over time, but the fact you have celiacs does not.    I think that a lot of people misunderstand that the goal to managing your celiacs is to eventually test negative for celiacs. This does not mean it went away, it means that your gluten-free diet is working and you’re no longer producing the anti-bodies that will wreak havoc on your health.    if you can access the medical records from when you were 8 and have a GI doctor review them, I would highly recommend you do this.

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By Klsdurbin · Posted

      Inovera offers a supplement called Forvia that they claim is formulated for better absorption for those with GI issues including Celiacs Disease.    I would love to hear if anyone has tried it and thinks it might be good.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.
