Sushi & Indian Food

Hello,

I am 23 years old and was basically accidently diagnosed with celiac's disease about a month ago. They were looking for something else and discovered through blood work and a biopsy that I have celiacs. I realize that I am very lucky to be symptom free, however, it makes sticking to a gluten free diet VERY difficult. Not only do I have no incentive, but I can't tell if I am unknowingly eating contaminated foods. I am finding plenty of ways eat gluten free at home that are both tasty and easy. My real problem is dining out. I keep reading that indian cuisine and sushi are relatively safe options. I know that I have to stay away from most soy sauces, but what about the suaces that come with the eal and spicy tuna rolls? I am also confused about which curries and sauces are safe in Indian restaurants? Are the any standards that are generally safe? Or do I have to find out the indgredients at each restaurant? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am still feeling pretty lost in this whole process :unsure:

Thanks!

Aimee

The marinated eel has soy sauce. The spicy tuna can also have gluten. In addition, stay away from the orange colored roe (some brands might be gluten-free but the one I looked at one time wasn't) and the fake crab. Otherwise, eat and enjoy.

I don't know enough about Indian food to comment but I do know there are some safe choices.

      Positive iGg antibodies but negative biopsy

      By hmkr · Posted

      I had high positive iGg antibodies in a full panel celiac test but a negative celiac biopsy. I was eating gluten for 2 months before the biopsy. Doctors are saying to trial a strict gluten free diet for 2-3 months and see if I feel better. I'm just confused about the antibodies. I mean my body is producing them for some reason?? I can't imagine I won't feel better with the diet. Would the diagnosis be non-celiac gluten sensitivity then? I thought you didn't have antibodies with that?  Confused. Thanks for your input!

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      Thank you! Eating out/take out has been half of my meals for a while so you are correct that this will be my biggest challenge. This has been a journey and I appreciate your help!

      "Bonus points". I like that analogy!  At this point, the following article might be helpful: Eating out will be the biggest challenge and will present the most threat to avoiding gluten since you don't have control over how food is prepared and handled back in the restaurant kitchen. Become comfortable with asking questions of restaurant staff and requesting that your food be cooked in clean pots/pans/surfaces that haven't been used for gluten containing foods since last washed. In time, you will become more comfortable with taking control in these situations and learn to be appropriately assertive. One thing that will take time for you to get a handle on is how sensitive you are to minor amounts of gluten such as you might get in cross contamination scenarios. Each of us is different in that sense and there is no substitute for personal experience. When in doubt, however, avoid foods that you feel may be significantly cross contaminated. Better safe than sorry. In time, you will develop a sixth sense about these things.

      Thank you!  Yes - labs are above but Deamidated Gliadin was super high, tTG was a weak positive and Immunoglobulin A was way below normal which gives "bonus points" to the positive tests because it can also cause false negative results.  This information confirms my thinking and I really appreciate your feedback!!!

      By far, the most likely cause of villous atrophy in the Marsh 3 range is celiac disease but there are other possible causes. Did you also have positive antibody tests? My guess is that when you see your physician he/she will declare you to have celiac disease. Of course, the ultimate proof of the pudding will be if you experience definite improvement in symptoms after going gluten free which, since you have now completed testing, you should begin to do.
