Gluten-Free Restaurants

Many of us new to this lifestyle are pleased to find that they actually can go to establishments and eat without getting sick or having an unpleasant reaction.

After all dining out is an experience that should be enjoyed.

It should be noted though that unless a establishment has a committed GF kitchen then there will frequently be some cross contamination.

Because of this I waited to eat out at until I had significantly improved.

Then later when I did start dining out any traces of gluten that I may have got in my food did not have any negative consequences for me.

However, people with severely weakened immune systems may react to even minute traces.

This may be enough to prevent healing of their gastrointestinal lining.

Thus if you are in this predicament you are probably best not eating out.

For those who are healthy enough to eat out the below listings are for your benefit.

Dining Establishments

Below is a listing of the various different categories of establishments.

Just click on the below links to get a listing of the restaurants in that category that offer a GF menu.

One of the best places that we can go and eat is at steakhouses.

They provide a great place to go and get typically safe delicious meals.

Mexican Places have many GF options especially if you tolerate corn.

These places include: Thai, Chinese, or Japanese.

They generally offer several meals that are predominately but not totally GF.

However, there are a few places that have GF menus.

This was at one time a difficult place to get a gluten-free meal but you will be pleased to see all the eateries that now GF meals.

Some BBQ places may use wheat flour to thicken their sauces, in most cases it is very minimal.

Nonetheless, to get a list of BBQ places with a true GF menu, click BBQ Shacks.

I am not real familiar with Indian Bistros. My wife is not a fan of Indian food and if Miss Debbie don't like, we don't get it.

However, I do know that quite a bit of Indian food is GF. Click Indian to get a link of Indian places with a GF menu.

In the past pizza joints were typically not good places to get a gluten-free meal.

However, this is no longer the case many pizza restaurants now serve gluten free crusts.

Click the pizza joints link to get a listing of places with GF menus.

While you may be able to find a rare establishment that offers a GF bun or bread.

The vast majority of the time, if I am stuck at a burger joint and want some meat, then I will order a burger and have them hold the bun.

Sometimes cheaper places will add fillers like wheat and soy to their burgers.

So I always ask the waiter if the burger is 100% beef with no flour or soybeans. If you are not dairy sensitive, you can have a shake.
