I am going to a local vietnamese restaurant tonight for the first time. I've read about the dishes, but i'm not familiar with the ingredients. Are there any seasoned viet-vets out there that can recommend a dish that is most likely safe for a gluten-free diet? Of course i'll be checking with the staff at the restaurant.

Pho and spring rolls should be safe. Along with crepes. You won't find much wheat flour in use - usually rice flour. But you might find soy sauce in any number of the dipping sauces or grilled meat marinades, so be sure to ask about soy sauce. Fish sauce should be okay and that seems to be widely used. I used to love Vietnamese sandwiches but I guess those are out! If you've never had Pho you should not miss out.

Thanks! I was hoping Pho would be safe, i always hear how delicious it is. I'll try the spring rolls too!

What are the noodles in pho made of, or do you ask to leave them out? If the latter, do they remove them (cc) or just not add them in?

They are rice noodles - made from rice flour and water and not much else! Always worth checking with the particular restaurant, though, just to be safe. The beef broth/stock is prepared separately from the rice noodles (at my favorite restaurants). Rice noodles are cooked separately and then placed into the serving bowl. The soup is ladeled over the noodles.

      I got an official diagnosis from a naturopathic doctor, based on: 1. Very high blood antibodies 2.dna test and 3. Response to gluten free diet. I'm in the United States and have had absolutely no push back ever. My step granddaughter received an official diagnosis from an MD based on high antibodies blood test only. She's also in the U.S. and was told docs in U.S.are doing this more often now. I'd try a different doctor if you can.

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.
