Gluten free in the Slope

gretel

Any suggestions for places to order dinner out that have gluten free options.
I have been told I am Celiac and I can no longer eat gluten at all. I miss delivery!

OK so it sounds like from here are in you are protien based. Does not seem like a problem unless you are vegetariann.. Think...meat, fish, chicken.

I'm gluten sensiteve and eat as gluten free as possible. The easiest restaurants I've found are Thai, lots of rice and rice spring rolss. Usually, at least in the slope, the contents are well described and it's easy to avoid wheat.

Japanese not so good as there is a lot of soy, which has the same protein in it as gluten that you should be avoiding. Also, tempura, shumai, all have wheat. Italian is very difficult as the pasta and bread are VERY tempting. Nouvelle American can be nice, especially look out for risotto as a side dish instead of pasta or cous cous, etc. If your meat, fish or chicken have a sauce or a stuffing, ask the waiter if there's any wheat (or barley, etc.) in those. If they don't know, ask them to ask the chef. They're getting used to that and are usually nice about it.

it's possible to buy flash cards that ask if there's gluten in the food in various languages. not sure where. Try http://www.glutenfreemall.com/ or http://www.celiac.com

If the only food you are avoiding is wheat, it's not that difficult to avoid the obvious, but gluten comes in many forms and in other grains. Also, it's always possible that something was cooked in a pot or something that formerly held gluten. If you are super sensitive that might matter to you.

Agreed.
