good point one reason is gluten intolerance is only a relatively new discovery. In the past you could have lived your whole life with it and been diagnosed with irratable bowel syndrome.

I guess most asians dont eat gluten or wheat products and use rice instead.

This site in Phuket has some decent stuff for future ref, though they don't have the flour. Their raw cacao's good.

Quick & easy dealing with them.

Dunno, but refined everything (bread/sugar) probably plays a part. Suspect many Asian's are allergic but don't know it. I know many of them can't drink jungle juice, though. :whistling:

I think the transformed food mostly caused this, Asians eat rice which has no transforming process.

Bohh, what is jungle juice, then?

There's a wine importer that has a shop on Sukhumvit 19. They import wine's, cured meats and also a lot of gluten free produce. It's about 300m up soi 19 on the lefthand side at the crossroads. Sorry can't remember the name of the place.

They sell gluten free flours, cake and bread mixes, pasta etc and also things like xanthan gum too.

Yes there is the wine importers plus Villa market (as zorro1 stated) a bit further along Sukhumvit, before you get to Phrom Phong BTS. But Villa Pasta is not very good. Pasta name BuonTempo.

The shop on Suk Soi 19, last time I was there, was called "Sense of World Taste." And yes, they probably have the best combined selection of GF products I've found in Thailand.

But the OP should do a search here in TV for gluten free, since there have been other past threads on various aspects and products here.

Villa Markets do have some GF products, including cereals and flours... So do the Central Markets, in particular pasta as I recall. But surprisingly, even formerly Carrefour (and I believe still the larger Big Cs, at least in BKK) used to carry some Basco brand GF baking and pancake/waffle mixes.

Apart from the Soi 19 shop, though, the thing about the other places is they tend to have a few isolated items, and those are just mixed in throughout all the general merchandise in the stores... So unless you're really looking or know what's there, you might never find or notice them.
