Make sure waiter/waitress writes your order down as gluten free and say medical necessity as too many restaurants have been burnt by people playing with following a gfd and being asked is it a preference. As a chef with cd I can understand frustration of restaurants trying to do the right thing and then have some idiot have wheat filled chocolate cake. Then check if restaurant says it has any visible protocols for gfd – different shape or color plate, allergy flag, meal served by chef or manager not your waiter. I was given a wheat filled meal one time as my waiter hadn’t put it through as gf and only avoided severe xc since I knew their protocols. If they don’t have visible protocols then double check when served that it is a gluten free meal and if they are not sure push back and insist they check, even ask for manager. And then smile, smile, smile, be sweet and leave a good tip so they take more care for next one of us. Remember you are only as safe as the waiter, manager and chef on duty that day.

Of course, there are more and more restaurants adding gluten free items to their menu, but it is still hard fining those restaurants. Eating only meats and fruits and veggies is not fun. That is why finding gluten free alternatives to your favorite items is important for us gluten free folk! Searching for a restaurant that has these foods will be so much easier and better for you ! Don’t fall into the trap of eating the food that will make you feel sick!

Also, sometimes a Mom & Pop mid to upper-scale restaurant can offer the most time and consideration.

Hi Kelly – you’ll need to check the labels on any store-bought milk alternatives to see if they are gluten-free.

However, we really don’t recommend these grain-milk alternatives as they can be damaging to the gut as well.

We recommend you try almond milk or another kind of nut milk. Some people do very well with coconut milk as well!

Great point – and what we discuss in the article, too!

Here’s some info on L-Lgutamine, if you’re interested: https://healthygut.com/?s=glutamine

Just wanted to ask -does anyone know if dairy-alternative milks such as Brown Ricw milk and Oat milk are gluten free?

Yolanda – that is a great idea!

Often when people don’t have special dietary needs they can get overwhelmed by them (vegan isn’t the same as gluten free as allergic to wheat, etc.!)

Thanks for sharing this tip!

Ward https://healthygut.com/how-to-eat-out-gluten-free/#comment-744192 http://scdlifestyle.com/?p=11832#comment-744192 I am impressed with your insights, care, compassion, and experience. Because of that, I want you to know about another Doc I met that is an incredible tool against gluten sensitivity. I met him at a conference last year, and I have since come to greatly respect his expertise. He is speaking at a functional medicine conference in Atlanta this month or next- and is an incredible resource to help you help others. His name is Dr. Tom O’Brien. He has formulated supplements to aid gluten sensitive souls, as well as a program to educate people on what to do …. thedr.com is his web stuff I believe.
Thank you for what you do.
Sincerest Regards,
Dr. Larry

Then specific on how my order must be cooked and what items my food can absolutely not be exposed to. In some restaurants the chef or cook has actually come out to thank me for giving the information in written form. Things can be lost in translation from one person to another. I rarely go to high end restaurants but most definitely avoid low end chains. Of course calling ahead and speaking with the manager or cook is very helpful as well.
