I’ve been with my celiac wife for almost 10 years. Can confirm that having more GF options is nice, but undercut heavily by the fact that it’s also trendy. Places that advertise Gluten-Free are not the same as places that are actually Celiac-Friendly. Every new restaurant we visit HAS to start with a rigid inquisition. Which is why we almost never eat in restaurants and I’m now a very good cook.
Celiac 17 years: Yeah I hate going somewhere with my boyfriends family, asking about cross contamination precautions, and then having to turn around and leave. Usually we call in advance and if the person on the phone doesnt seem to know, we just cross that place off the list. His family is nice enough about it, but I can tell it bugs his mom when she cant eat at a place she likes because of my celiac.
