Eating Out
Some of the safer restaurant types:
- Thai : These are safe for me: panang curry, green / red / yellow curry and laksa (as long as it is rice noodle)
- Malay / Indonesian : Soto Ayam is safe for me. Some of the soups are really good. Avoid the peanut sauces.
- Vietnamese : These are safe for me: Beef Noodle Soup or Chicken Noodle Soup (they call it pho`)
- Japanese : Sushi is safe for me. But, I don’t think the teriyaki beef / chicken is 100% safe (probably has some wheat or bean paste in the sauce).
I don’t think I reacted to Miso soup the last time I tried it, but I want to give it another test.
And the not so safe are:
- Chinese: I avoid chinese restaurants as they love to put corn flour on the vegies - they also corn flour inside some of their dumplings. Most of the sauces are based on corn flour or bean pastes.. very bad. BBQ duck/chicken on rice might be safe but ask for no sauce on the veggies.
I was surprised to find that I react to BBQ Pork ! There are several ingredients to char siu sauce that could cause grief including: yellow bean, Hoisin sauce, and oyster sauce. - Indian : I avoid indian as they make their sauces out of onion puree and dairy. Tandoori chicken on rice might be the safest thing here?

== eating out ==
Folks, this post is way out of date. I would only recommend this list of restaurants if you are following a Low Starch Diet that includes rice.
I used to eat quite a bit of rice but had to give it up in order to experience further remission and to relieve some annoying health complaints.. ie: eczema, yeast infections, dehydration at night.
These days when I do eat out I typically eat meat and salad. Often with the sauce served separately.
== grilled fish ==
When ordering fish make sure that you ask them not to ‘flour’ the fish, or just let them know you can’t eat wheat / flour. It is common practice in restaurants when cooking grilled fish to dust the fish lightly with flour.
