Asian Indian Food

We love Indian food but there is a definite language barrier when we ask about wheat flour. Recently, we ate at a vegetarian Indian restaurant and they had two foods that looked safe but how can I be sure? One was like a large white rice patty. But when I asked the server if it contained wheat flour, he assured me that it did not contain wheat flour. So I put it on my plate and pierced the white patty with my fork. It looked very similar to a patty made from Wonder bread. So I avoided this treat. Also, they make large, crepe-like Dolsas. Some restaurants that we ate at did not cause us any negative reaction but does that mean it will apply to all Indian restaurants that made Dolsa?

I appreciate your help!

I have never eaten at an Indian resturant since my dx, just not brave enough. In my head I thought Indian food was fairly safe since wheat is not commonly available in India. However, if they have Americanized it who knows :huh: Do you have the Dining Cards? I think there is one for Indian resturants? After reading this I realize I was of no help :lol:

Some Dosa's have wheat, but most do not.. However, they are still cooked on the same grill as the wheat ones, and the bread is also cooked on the same grill, so you'd be getting some cross contamination.

The white rice patty is called Idly.

Here is a common recipe:

Idly rice 2 cups (Ponni rice if possible)

Urud dal 1 cup

cooked rice 1/2 cup

Fenugreek seeds(Methi) 1/4 tsp

Salt as per taste

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrin_glue From what I can tell, all ingredients seem to be of animal origin. The article does indicate the exact composition varies from manufacturer to manufacturer so to get a more precise answer you would likely need to find out who manufactured the fibrin in question and contact them.

      Perhaps a silly question, but does fibrin glue, often used in surgery, contain gluten?  I've searched and searched and cannot find an answer.  Thanks, Tammie

      https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/immunoglobulin-test https://labs.selfdecode.com/blog/high-iga/ I think for total IGA to be elevated to the point of being out of normal range there would need to be some chronic inflammation or infection happening, not just a short term event. As I said, I would visit with your doctor over this and I would ask to get that checked again in the near future after your back pain and cold have been resolved for a time.

      @knitty kitty Hi there, All my other bloods were within normal limits, though my iron has always been just a couple from being below range. Physio thought I had Ehlers-danlos syndrome, she sent a letter to my doctor but doctor said i don't have it. I've only had stomach issues for 1.5 years. About 4 years ago I lost a tonne of weight (I did go through a really traumatic experience at that time which I got c-ptsd from) then 2.5 years ago I put all the weight back on plus 14kg and all within 6 weeks. I went up 3 clothing sizes. Bloat up like I'm  months pregnant. Pins and needles, aching joints and muscles, major forgetfulness and brain fog. Only get about 5 hrs sleep, urinate every hour day or night. Nausea and bad belly pain and rashes. No diarrhea though. It all just seemed to come out of no where. It's crazy and I'm getting no answers. Biopsy getting done it 2 days.

      @Travel Celiac, Doing a happy dance with you!!!  You're doing very well!!!  Kudos for being a rescuer!  Hip Hip Hooray! Yes, strenuous exercise can raise your IgA, as can viral infections like the common cold or Covid.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9574171/ Do discuss with your doctor the nutritional deficiencies that frequently occur in Celiac Disease and on the gluten free diet.  Deficiencies in zinc, iron, the B vitamins, Vitamin C and Vitamin D can all affect your ability to fight off viruses and repair stressed muscles.
