A Gluten Free Struggle



        Being gluten-free is a struggle that takes quite a while to get a better understanding of. Many people don't understand that not always is being gluten-free a choice we aren't all doing this for "fun".  Over the past 6 years of being a Celiac, I have had a few laughs what some people have told me.
  1. You are going to have to be prepared for your food to ALWAYS come last to the table when you are out to eat.
  2. People will tell you there is only a little bit of gluten in this food so you should be fine.
  3. The waiter/ waitress will come back after letting you eat a few bites and say, "Oh yeah that is the nongluten free version.
  4.  "Yeah, we have gluten-free food here". We get there and all they have is a salad dressing and an ice cube!

        If I could tell a business that promotes Celiac Disease I would tell them to better research it because we don't want to feel the pain from afterward. I would tell them if they are saying their fried food is gluten-free makes sure you get your own frier. DON'T use the same serving utensil as you did with the gluten-free one. No one is saying you should serve gluten-free but if you do please be careful because when a new place that has gluten-free food comes out we all want to go try it out.
