Eating out

Because of increasing interest in gluten-free foods, more and more cafes and restaurants are providing gluten-free options and clearly identifying them in menus. If not identified, don’t be afraid to ask; most chefs are only too happy to keep customers happy.

Its good to be prepared before you go however, to research gluten-free friendly restaurants and check their menus in advance. Many websites and apps can be helpful, especially when travelling.

Trip advisor, for example, has a brilliant search function where you can specify gluten free, and all reviews containing those words will come up. It is always advisable to check with the business as well, as sometimes reviews can be out of date

If in a foreign country where language is a barrier, translate “which foods are gluten-free?” and write on a card, or on your phone, so that you are never caught short

Googling “gluten free restaurants near me” usually comes up with helpful advice
