Gluten free eating out

Postby victw » Sun Dec 20, 2020 7:51 pm

Uggh. I've always been able to do OK eating ok. Making decent choices. My husband has gone gluten-free, which has cleared up some issues he was having.

He is mostly choosing vegan restaurants - which I find harder to navigate. The older style hippy joints are good. But the younger fake meat places - not so good. Chinese has always been my go-to.

We eat out on a semi-regular basis for a number of reasons. For those of you that are gluten-free - how do you handle restaurants? Do you have particular restaurants that you find easier to navigate?

Thanks.

Should not be that complicated. Gluten is mostly found in products made from wheat. Ergo, tell hubby to avoid anything made from wheat - bread, crackers, cake, pasta, etc.

Beans, no gluten. Rice, no gluten. Potatoes, no gluten. Etc.

But there are other prolamines, which are lumped into the gluten group, in other grains that gluten sensitive people react to. They are in all grains.

I’m gluten free and vegan and I guess I’m not understanding the issue. Most places, even a chain like, Native Foods, have whole food options like bowls with veggies, rice, etc. Just stick to whole, unprocessed foods. Vegan restaurants are almost always happy to make a big, beautiful salad with legumes and such. Or Buddha bowl.
