Thailand, In 3 Days! :)

Hey everyone. I'm leaving in 3 days to travel Thailand!

I'm hoping for the best when it comes to staying gluten-free.

Was wondering if anyone had any last minute tips for me.

For instance, any good staple meals that are usually pretty safe?

I will be eating at a lot of street stalls and guesthouses with traditional Thai kitchens.

Are pad thai noodles gluten free? I assume they are made with rice, right?

What about chicken fried rice and those chicken/veggie kebab things?

I will be eating all the fruit I can as well.

This is my first big gluten free trip. I'm stuffing some Lara bars in my purse but unfortunately I'm traveling superlight(just a purse/bag with some toiletries and a change of underwear)

so I don't have room to bring my own food or anything.

Wish me luck! :)

Sounds like a great trip!

I would be careful of the street stalls. I got really sick from them last time.

Some of them, especially in Bangkok use a lot of soy sauce in Pad Thai which is not always rice noodles.

Then again that wasn't as dangerous as what I ran into up north walking around looking at Durian trees

when I found a sign that said in English and Thai to please be mindful of the tigers!

Had a lot of fruit, veggies and soups.

have fun!

Thanks, I will eat as much fruit as I can + maybe plain rice and hopefully I can find some good meat or fish here and there. Nuts are a good idea, especially if I can buy a bag and much on them to keep energy up throughout the day. Thanks again!

You should be able to find a lot of unusual fruit now. If you get dried fruit It would be good to wash it first since its often coated with different chemicals but even then it is usually safe. Try to find some of the unusual nuts at farmers markets like pili or okari although I dont remember the thai names. Pili are about 3 inches long.

you can find the Thai names in each section of more unusual fruit.

Have fun!

Hello everyone, I have returned from Asia!

I only was glutened a few times, and I did get very ill with aomebic dystentary and thought my life was over when I was actually freaking kidnapped in Phnom Penh, but that's another story lol. I am safe and at home, and it's late, but tomorrow I will write a big new post with all my notes and tips about food in South East Asia and hopefully it will help someone else who is going there in the future. :)

      Thanks for noticing my avatar, or "profile pic" as you call it. It trust the ichthus symbol is meaningful to you as well.  It's certainly nice to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease if that is the problem but I think you have discovered by experience in changing your eating habits that you either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). With either condition, the antidote is the same, total abstinence from gluten for a life time. In some countries, like the UK, there are government subsidies for offsetting the cost of gluten free food and some additional follow-up support if you have an official diagnosis. Many people find themselves in the same boat as you by experimenting with the gluten-free diet before getting tested and unable to endure the "gluten challenge" in order to get testing done for an official diagnosis. It is very common for people with celiac disease to develop other food intolerances/sensitivities.

      How to keep water down?

      By alimb · Posted

      I have an official diagnosis, and we have a mostly gluten-free household as a result. It's moreso that, since we already know what's happening, there's no reason to go anywhere to get help regardless of pain or if there are any concerning symptoms. I think managed to keep the first zofran and dicyclomine I took down for a good 20 minutes. Most of this is a haze, but I don't believe I was able to keep anything else down from there.

      Welcome to the forum, @nanny marley! Unfortunately, after bein on a gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet for weeks or months, you can expect test results to be negative.
