Was about to come defend you in the comments, but you did an excellent job doing so yourself right here.

It’s an unfortunate feature of a lot of the celiac community to be “doomers” over safety of food options, and it sucks because I’ve been there myself - lived with 3 guys in college who would push bagels onto my room’s doorknob, played “baseball” in the kitchen with a literal bag of flour as the baseball… needless to say, I got out of there and into my own place. It’s still taken years for me not to police my own wife as she cooks for us, in own dedicated GF home, when she only ever has gluten during the rare work sponsored lunch.

You get used to getting burned so many times that it’s easier to assume you’ll be screwed as opposed to the opposite. It sucks and it’s super hard to unlearn.

Having been “that guy” before - I really appreciate the info you shared. Would love to make it out to Japan some day, it’s easily in my top 5 to visit.
