Thai Food and Gluten-Free Dining

Another reason many people enjoy Thai cuisine is that many traditional Thai ingredients are naturally gluten-free, including rice, rice noodles, fresh herbs, coconut milk, and fish sauce. According to the Gluten Intolerance Group, Thai food is often “flavorful, nutritious, and packed with fresh vegetables,” with many dishes built around rice and rice noodles rather than wheat-based ingredients. However, some sauces or marinades can contain gluten, so it’s always a good idea to check ingredients or ask your server when dining out.

If you follow a gluten-free diet or have celiac disease, this helpful guide from the Gluten Intolerance Group explains what to look for when ordering Thai food:
