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.
- You are going to have to be prepared for your food to ALWAYS come last to the table when you are out to eat.
- People will tell you there is only a little bit of gluten in this food so you should be fine.
- The waiter/ waitress will come back after letting you eat a few bites and say, "Oh yeah that is the nongluten free version.
- "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.
