HERE COME THE PRETZELS

Most places will have bun options and most basic meals are fine like steak scallops etc. Any BBQ is usually out of the question along with Chinese which really sucks. Overall you'll eat out less and try to make what you're missing out on at home for far cheaper and learn how great it is

Thanks.

Forgot to mention I cook virtually all the food that I eat, so eating out isn't a huge concern for me.
For BBQ and Asian cooking, I've heard that some sauces contain gluten, so would that be the main concern there?

I guess I'm also not gonna be cooking with flour very much, as the gluten-free flour I've encountered is pretty pricey and am poorfag.

>>14556987
Yeah unfortunately it's the sauces and sometimes the dry rub for BBQ as well. All chinese places cook with soy sauce which has wheat (easily substituted for tamari at home tho).

A lot of places will randomly add fried stuff onto things as well so just specify gluten free and they'll usually be on top of making it edible for you. French fries are usually cross contaminated in oil with wheat flour for fried chicken or onion rings. You might be able to withstand a bit of cross contamination if you're lucky. Ask if the fryer is a gluten free one

I've ended up only really eating out for sushi but then be careful of eel sauce. Cornstarch is good instead of flour for some Chinese dishes but can give a weird flavor if it isn't drowned in sauces. Other flours taste fine but ye can be pricey especially now with corona and everyone buying it up

>dry rub
Damn.

I cook tons of meat and rice. In terms of safe-to-use sauces/seasonings, is there anything you particularly like?

>>14557281
Mostly will cook asian dishes since I've got a sweet tooth. A lot of asian kinda diced pork or chicken with a sweet dark sauce over jasmine rice. Kinda like webm but just substitute soy for temari and whatever else. I'll adjust to using mainly ginger, temari, sugar, mirin, and chives and just let it all simmer for awhile after searing the meat. The pork also makes for great leftovers. Really getting into more seafood as well and recipes are largely unaffected. Burgers, steak, whatever else are fine just avoid pre mixed spices and steak rubs

There will be a viable substitute for anything unless you're really into baking breads or desserts. Cooking will largely be fine ye

>>14557398
Asian sauces will largely have to be made on your own. Any others might be worth checking the ingredients looking for wheat, barley, rye but SHOULD be fine

>>14556922
It's pretty easy to follow once you vet your usual ingredients and get Tamari soy sauce instead of the usual kind. You have all meats, dairy, eggs, fruit & veg, rice, and potatoes to work with, so you can make a huge variety of good food without many issues. There are good GF substitutes for things like flour and breadcrumbs for frying, baking is iffy but you can make most anything else as long as you cook it yourself.

The catch is that anything you DON'T make yourself will probably have wheat in it somewhere. So it's basically the "no restaurants diet". There are restaurants which can handle it but you're likely going to be stuck in "healthy" or vegan hell, when you could just make something nice like ribs, steak or fried food at home. You really just have to git gud at home cooking or be miserable.

Corn tortillas are extremely versatile and I didn't realize it until my family had done gluten free at home for like five years. Remember to fry them in a little oil first, and you can use them for all sorts of stuff.

Thanks guys, will definitely look into Tamari and more corn products.

As stated before, will probably not be able to make anything with flour for budget reasons, since the gluten-free stuff seems pretty expensive. The relatively small gluten-free section of stuff at the stores I go to is all pretty pricey too.

I guess I'll be changing up my breakfast meals a bit. I've never really had rice as my breakfast carb, despite being a chink, but I guess I'll be trying that.

Also, I don't drink often, but I looked a little into that as well. I read wine is typically fine, and sake is fine if it's Junmai sake. Beer is obviously out though. Anything you guys like?

>>14557547
You can have any liquor and wine just not beer ye. Alcohol is largely fine even whiskey since it's distilled. White claws are a decent substitute if you don't like coronas which are gf. Used to be big into rums and loved Flor de cana anejo

That's pretty wild for an Asian to have celiac or gluten intolerance. They have wheat in all their dishes. If you like ramen try and find brown rice noodles btw they're the only good ones

>>14557569
I don't actually have a gluten intolerance, but have been told that going gf may help with health/feeling better in general even for people without gluten sensitivities, so I want to give it a solid try cause I've been feeling like garbage for various reasons for a while.

Also, maybe a dumb question, but is it all soy that has gluten, or just soy sauce? I read the ingredient label on my peanut butter and it says it contains soybean oil.

>>14557619
Look at the fodmap diet as well. Harder and takes 2 weeks minimum but fixed me

All soy sauce has wheat in it but soy by itself doesn't. Your peanut butter is fine bro

>I don't actually have a gluten intolerance, but have been told that going gf may help with health/feeling better in general even for people without gluten sensitivities

it won't.

>>14557623
Thanks, good to know.

I figure it might not help, but I guess if nothing else I'll just have another thing I can check off the list of stuff I've tried that's not too much of an inconvenience
