Gluten-Free Simplicity

  Sometimes for some of us, a little (or a lot of) Gluten seems to be OK.  That is our choice.

  But for others, those who choose NOT to have Gluten in our system, it can be frustrating when we find (typically through symptoms and recapping what we have eaten lately) that we have eat something containing Gluten.

  I love Chines food.  Really!  But in some cases, there is wheat in the soy sauce they use to make dishes.  Others might use wheat in thickening those wonderful sauces. 

People avoiding gluten love to dine out as much as anyone, but their choices tend to be limited, boring and sometimes hazardous. Often a restaurant’s staff is not educated on a gluten-free diet, leaving the job up to the customer. Imagine having to explain your diet every time you dine out? If the message doesn’t reach the kitchen staff or isn’t thoroughly understood, then dining out becomes a health risk. The experience can leave a bad taste in the mouth and a stomach ache to boot.

Gluten-free dining is a win-win for everyone. Gluten-free dining options create many happy guests. And happy guests are loyal customers.
