Gluten Free Asia

Hello folks,

My girlfriend and I will be travelling around Asia for 4 months from mid April. She suffers from celiac disease and I'm currently gathering as much information on each country as possible. We're going to -

Japan

China

Philippines

Vietnam

Cambodia

Thailand

I've searched through this forum and done google searches - if anyone can give anymore help with food she can eat, good restaurants/shops, any general tips in any of the places listed I'd be eternally grateful! We're going to write about it when we've finished, so we need as much help as we can get!

We've lived in South Korea for the last year and been able to find quite a few gluten free foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      If I may put my two cents in here . . . Coffee (caffeine) is a double-edged sword when it comes to headaches. It can relieve them (that's why caffeine is put in many over the counter pain relievers) but it can also cause them - particularly if you consume coffee/tea/soda often and regularly and then are in a situation where you have to go without it for a longer stretch than you are used to. Those who suffer from migraines may likely be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine or the withdrawal of it I'm thinking. And then there is the potential negative impact caffeine can have on sleep patterns for many people. Disruption of sleep patterns is also a migraine trigger for some. I speak...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Hello Knitty Kitty, Many thanks for asking about my progress.  Its mixed....  I've been taking Benfotiamine since November.  I started on 300mg, but I didn't notice any change.  Increased to 900mb in 300mg tablets throughout the day and initially it seemed to be a cure.  But then the Hypoglycaemia and migraines started to return...it's really very difficult for me to control my diet.  I'm still taking the Benfotiamine but I now take the Benfotiamine in the evening and usually about 600mg after my early evening meal.  I'm still very sensitive to carbs and especially alcohol and sugar, which makes any social activity really difficult especially in the evenings and having to avoid all gluten as...

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      Thanks kitty, I needed reminding about thiamine. I ran out of magnesium so stopped taking it and that was ages ago, it definitely helps with my energy levels and general function. I just took some now and I’ll get some more magnesium. Although I don’t really understand the gundry list it does seem to correlate with foods I can/cannot eat, lectins are not all made equal and it seems to be personal which we react to but some are generally more problematic than others, I think he’s based the list on avoiding lectins that people are often reacting to on an igg test. I think it’s fructose I’m reacting to in fruit rather than histamine because I’m fine with coffee, not sure of the quantity of...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      hey knitty, thanks for the follow up. I did buy the benfotiamine before I saw a couple of the side effects that concerned me esp bracardia. I already have irregular heart beat and have had elevated liver enzymes before. I lowered the count by taking milk thistle in case anyone interested. I realize that many side effects are simply for legal protection but at my age and as a recovering heart patient can not take risk. Anyway, been strictly gluten-free since we last talked. I did add 200 mg of vit b1 in addition to the b complex. Not as much b1 as you suggested because of my conservative nature but at least an attempt. I still have substantial bloating which unfortunately is probably not...

      Since lectins occur in almost everything, it's pretty unrealistic to avoid them all.  I didn't understand the rationale behind Dr. Gundry's lists either. Many fruits either contain high histamine amounts or are histamine releasers.  Histamine is made by our body, but we can also consume it in foods, because plants and animals make histamine, too.  Histamine is a neurotransmitter, that results in alertness.  That cup of coffee in the morning?  Releases histamine, so we wake up more.  But histamine is released as part of the immune response in Celiac and other illnesses, causing inflammation.   Our body can clear histamine, but if the body can't keep up with the histamine we...
