3 Important Tips to Stay Gluten-Free When Dining Out
Many restaurants today truly understand the needs of people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity and celiac disease and offer a gluten-free food menu. There are in fact many fast-food centers as well that come with gluten-free choices for the customers.
In spite of this, it is still possible to find yourself in trouble at a restaurant, especially when in most cases, it has been found that the main problem lies in gluten cross-contamination.
So, if you want to ensure that you stay gluten-free when dining out then remember these 3 tips:
Pick the restaurant wisely
See to it that the restaurant you are going to is a gluten-free one as the staff here would have received special training to make sure that the food remains gluten-free and they will be careful to avoid any sort of cross-contamination as well. You can choose an ethnic restaurant or a reliable local restaurant too, that is known for serving gluten-free food to its customers.

Speak with the manager or the chef directly
Many restaurants are found to be mistakenly getting involved in gluten cross-contamination. While some restaurants offering gluten-free food items come with separate kitchens for non-gluten and gluten food, most, unfortunately, don’t. In order to remain on the safe side always, ask the kitchen staff to not use a grill surface that is shared with making gluten-containing food items, request them to change their gloves and wash their hands before making your food, and mix salad only in a thoroughly clean bowl, use only freshwater to steam vegetables.
Question when in doubt
Make it a habit to question anything when you are in doubt. Asking loads of questions is better than eating gluten food and being in trouble later. If you find something on your plate that looks doubtful, or any sort of extra toppings then ask ‘’is it gluten-free?’’ or a direct ‘’what is it?’’ If you still feel unsure then ask for another plate, or better, just leave.
