Gluten Free Restaurants

Eating out with my family was a nightmare. My parents would try to explain what I could and couldn't eat to chefs that had never heard of a gluten free diet, but you could see they were not taken seriously.

It was embarrassing, and got even worse when the meal they did bring me had to go back. There was often a slice of bread on the plate or croutons scattered on my salad. I can remember everyone else tucking in, while I sat waiting for something boring to be brought out for the picky kid on the table in the corner.

It is much easier today!

It is now possible to go out for a meal and be treated without fuss or embarrassment when you explain your dietary needs. You may even be lucky enough to find certain items marked on the menu as gluten free. This certainly takes the guesswork out of deciding whether something is safe to eat.

	If the restaurant uses fancy terms for the items on the menu you might find this handy restaurant menu guide helpful. It will tell you what is safe to eat and what is not!
	It is wise to plan ahead, however, when eating out, just to prevent any mistakes being made. Check out my tips for gluten free eating out whether it is in a restaurant or at family events, such as parties or barbecues.
