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. :)

      I’m so confused…

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Deanne jones · Posted

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      Being a burden to family/friends

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Recipe Apps?

      By lmemsm · Posted

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.
