How to Dine Out Gluten Free

July 11, 2018 By Mona Dave

Dining out may seem daunting if you have a child that has a gluten sensitivity or Celiac Disease, but it boils down to these three simple steps:

  1. Choose a restaurant that has a gluten-free menu or gluten-free options.
    • Use the free app FIND ME GLUTEN FREE
  2. Call or visit the restaurant during non-busy hours and ask them:
    • Do you know what gluten is?
    • Has your staff participated in a gluten-free training program?
    • Do you use clean or separate pots, pans, and utensils for gluten-free food?
    • Do you clean the grill before cooking gluten-free food?
    • Is there a separate fryer for gluten-free food or do you change the oil?
  3. At the restaurant, always inform your waiter that your food must be free of gluten.
    • Be polite but ask the waiter if he/she understands what gluten-free means and, if they do not, then ask to speak to the chef

Keep in Mind the Dirty Dozen

  1. Are there croutons on the salad?
  2. Does the salad dressing contain any flour?
  3. Does the soup contain any flour?
  4. Has the food been marinated in any sauce that has flour or soy?
  5. Has the food been dusted with flour before being fried or sautéed?
  6. Is the oil used for cooking also used to make other breaded products? 
  7. Are artificial bacon bits or other meat substitutes used on potato skins and salads?
  8. Are the mashed potatoes from a mix?
  9. Is there any imitation crabmeat or seafood?
  10. Does bread come with the dish?
  11. Is the garnish gluten free?
  12. Are there breadcrumbs on the food?
