Hi,

I am a celiac living in Boston at the moment. But my husband and I will be moving to Hong Kong in August this year. We were just there and I am really upset with the food in Hong Kong. I need to find places where I can get gluten-free stuff, including restaurants, in Hong Kong.

I will truely appreciate if someone can help me here. Or even if you can just let me know of any contact, I will really really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Shweta

Oh! I'm so sorry that there hasn't been more advice! I wish I could help you more too! I don't know how practical it is, but have you considered stocking up on products shipped from the states?

You said that you had already visited Hong Kong....Do they list the ingredients on products like they do in the U.S.? Surely, there are rice based products that you could eat. Maybe not glamourous but until you get more adapted to the culture at least you can eat. Good Luck! And congratulations on you upcoming move! How exotic!

I also suggest City Super supermarket. Their selection of gluten free foods is low, but I haven't really been able to find other places with much. They have gluten free muesli and a Australian stuff. I purchased. They also have gluten free cake mix I think. A few things, not much. Read the tags, they will say Gluten free if it is.

People in HK don't really understand the condition.... its kind of a pain.

Hope this helps.

I don't live in HK, but my sister does so I've spent a few weeks there. I loved the grocery store threesixty, I found lots of stuff I could eat. You must try their frozen yogurt! There is another ex-pat grocery store that sells gluten-free food, but I can't remember the name. It's in the IFC mall. Fruits and veggies are cheaper at the wet markets than at grocery stores like threesixty. I found that a lot of the time the waitstaff would say "ok" like they understood, but they didn't. At my last visit, I didn't know for sure that I had celiac, so I stupidly ate gluten nearly every day.

When my sister first moved to HK 3 years ago, we assumed she'd be eating chinese food all the time. The opposite is actually true. We are used to a westernized version of chinese food, and real chinese food is completly different. So, sorry I can't recommend any dim sum places etc other than one in Shenzhen. Sushi in HK isn't great, but it's safe! Vietnamese and Thai restaurants both offer rice noodles and rice salad rolls. I liked Sarhara, a moroccan restaurant in central (minus the couscous) -the owner is great.

edit- the grocery store at IFC is "city'super"

Hi

How are you getting on with the restaurants in HK? Can you give me any that have gluten-free on the menu? My parents are going there for a holiday in December. Cheers

I just checked this one out for interest sake (and for the next time I go back to HK) and it's not only stocked with gluten free stuff (brands we know like Pamelas and Kinickinick<sp?>) but it's just off the Causeway MTR station so easy access :)

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
