Tip #1

Use Apps to find GF Restaurants\\xa0

There are now two apps available for finding gluten-free and celiac-friendly restaurants. One is the Find Me Gluten Free App, which gives a list of restaurants in the area which serve gluten-free options. Another app to use to find great dedicated gluten-free restaurants is 100% Gluten Free from For Gluten Sake! This app features ONLY dedicated gluten-free restaurants that do not have any gluten on their premises. This is the safest restaurant to eat at if you have an allergy to wheat, an allergy to gluten, or have celiacs disease. If you\\u2019re traveling to Philadelphia, Gluten-Free Philly now has an app that lists restaurants in Philadelphia and the surrounding area.\\xa0

Tip #2

Ask for a Gluten Free Menu

Many places now have a menu in which their food is either labeled showing their GF options or they have a separate menu, which lists all their gluten-free offerings so you can easily see what options you have to eat.

Tip #3

Tell your server gluten makes you sick.

\\xa0

More and more people are trying a gluten-free diet, and they may not get sick when eating gluten. I explain to my server every time that I get very ill from eating gluten, and that eating gluten is not a choice for me. If I think they don\\u2019t understand, I tell them I have a gluten allergy.\\xa0

\\xa0

Tip #4

Find out from your server which dishes can be made gluten-free

If your server can quickly name gluten-free recipes, then they were most likely very well trained and informed. This is a considerable safety measure for a restaurant. When your server hesitates or says, \\u201cI\\u2019m pretty sure that is gluten-free,\\u201d ask them to check with the chef and restate the importance of your sickness (see #3 above).

Tip #5

BYOS: Bring Your Own Snacks

When I\\u2019m not sure if the place or city I\\u2019m going is gluten-free friendly or I\\u2019ve heard it\\u2019s not GF friendly, I\\u2019ll pack food in my backpack to eat at the restaurant or while I\\u2019m out and about enjoying a park or other quiet spot.\\xa0

Tip #6

Find a Place to Stay with a Kitchen and Shop at Supermarkets

If you\\u2019re going to stay at a hotel, Air b\\u2019n\\u2019b or motel, stop at a supermarket and get gluten-free food. Research ahead of time to find out what types of supermarkets are in the area to get a feel for the variety of food you can eat.

Tip #7

Find a Produce Stand

Produce stands are always an excellent option to grab a natural and healthy gluten-free snack if you\\u2019re out and hungry. You\\u2019ll also most likely support a local family, so it\\u2019s a double win!
