Gluten-free Thai cooking questions
Is Thai food gluten-free?
Much of it is, since it’s built on rice and rice noodles. Soy sauce, oyster sauce and some curry pastes and fish sauces contain wheat, so check their labels.
Can the kids eat it too?
Add everyone to your family in the Gluten app. It checks each recipe for each person and tells you when to set the kids’ portion aside before the chili goes in.
Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice. Recipes are checked against the restrictions you enter, but always check labels for allergens and cross-contact, and talk to your doctor or dietitian about your diet.
