But my h...Yes it may very well be like Crohn's. But my husband is Korean and grew up on rice like we likely grew up on wheat and after cutting out rice... his "Crohn's" went away more reliably than when they were giving him strong medicines that weren't completely controlling it. Gluten and Casein/Butter/Lactose still cause inflammation elsewhere in his body, but the food we eat DEFINITELY can contribute to mass inflammation in our bodies. I too am hitting a brick wall in Japan, don't know how to avoid gluten without starving. If I go out all that's available is covered in sauce or has wheat/gluten/milk ingredients. Also running into shortness of breath and chronic stomach ache here. Looking to exchange advice on how to cope, because I'm not ready to go home yet but work and life is getting really tough with all this stomach pain, and also increasingly my sinuses are affected too. Tough to be faced with delicious sweets (many contain sorbitol... which I find is also highly irritating) and the pasta fascination... okonomiyaki, takoyaki... the list of wheaty things never ends here! Tonkatsu even! Although I've made it through tonkatsu dinners without bloating or pain... and somedays I can't eat a single thing! Going to go on a meat/vegetable diet with my main carb from sweet potato, pumpkin, nagaimo... for at least a month to see improvement. Also had peace with rice porrige. It's really tough to go out... but cooking at home usually helps... so happy I found someone facing the same thing! I only hope an awareness for gluten allergy will start here... because you just don't see it in the stores here like you do, well, in the U.S. where I was living.Maliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220170303121994453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859120836007416823.post-82800895319756215592010-08-21T20:43:49.951-07:002010-08-21T20:43:49.951-07:00Thanks again for your tips on Gluten free in Japan...Thanks again for your tips on Gluten free in Japan! There are some brands of snacks / food in Japan that care about people with allergies. They go so far as to having an "allergy search" online so that you can check in your allergy ingredients and search for products WITHOUT them. <br /><br />The brands are: Nagatanien 永谷園 and kamedaseika 亀田製菓株式会社. I posted some photos of GF products I got from Tokyo in my blog.<br /><br />Super thanks for all your tips for my Japan trip =)rainyRicehttp://rainyrice.blogspot.com/search/label/Japannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859120836007416823.post-4192809393816869692009-07-04T22:48:59.907-07:002009-07-04T22:48:59.907-07:00Hi Hillary,

I have had symptoms of IBS most of my life but the past few months things have become much worse. I become extremely bloated after most meals. I almost always have to RUN to the bathroom within an hour of eating. I feel tired and "ill" most of the time. My doctor ran numerous blood tests and all came back within the normal limits. He mentioned celiac disease as the possible cause for my symptoms and that makes sense to me. Where do you orer your gluten free soy sauce from? Are you able to get the wheat free flours here or do you order them? Any info would be appreciated!!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593197203968945027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859120836007416823.post-30831758238361610332008-09-09T20:44:00.000-07:002008-09-09T20:44:00.000-07:00I was in Japan 6.5 years and learned to deal with ...I was in Japan 6.5 years and learned to deal with with my allerugi to soy, mushroom (learned all the names) and eggs.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by eating gluten. You can learn more by visiting www.celiac.org and www.ccfa.org.

I used to work with a woman with it and she says it's wrongly diagnosed all the time. Anyways just my two sense. It's worth researching.<BR/><BR/>My friend also had to cut out all of those things. basically you're doing all you can do for Crones anyways. But I'm sure I'd be nice to have a name for what you've got.<BR/><BR/>Glad you found a way to keep yourself feeling well!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
