Thank you so much for reading my blog and for ...Hi! Thank you so much for reading my blog and for taking the time to reply. I'm actually really happy to hear from someone else in Okinawa who has the same dietary restrictions that I do. I often feel that I am the only person on this island that has to go through the hoops of the gluten-free dance. My diet is basically nearly paleo, though I include rice. It would be great to share some ideas and tips on what and where you've found to substitute for gluten in typically gluten-laden foods. <br /><br />I'm surprised that a pizza place is making the efforts to offer gluten free pizza, though perhaps its because of the proximity to the US bases in the Chatan area. Thanks for letting me know!<br /><br />It would be great to have a help/support group, even if just online for those of us in Japan who are gluten free. Hmm... :)秋 in Japanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084413408701450607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1419023233579880745.post-92132354652049544142013-03-13T17:04:15.385-07:002013-03-13T17:04:15.385-07:00I'm gluten intolerant and I've been in Oki...I'm gluten intolerant and I've been in Okinawa since August 2009. I've come to realize that the only way to keep from being accidentally "glutened" is to eat at home :/ I love that MaxValue brand foods usually have a label that tell you if there is wheat...I wish more items would do that. There are also some baking mixes (sugar cookies and pancakes I believe) that you can find that are made without wheat.<br /><br />I just read on the Pizzakaya Facebook (pizza place in American Village) that they plan on putting a gluten free pizza on their menu soon. It doesn't solve the cross contamination problem though since their primary menu is normal pizza. <br /><br />I'm not here through the military so my family plans on being here for a while. I hope that more places will become aware of the gluten issue and make it easier for us with gluten intolerance/Celiac to eat out.Sarah P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14929690222981462358noreply@blogger.com
