Any Organizations To Educate Restaurants On Allergens?

Hey y'all. So I have a Mexican place near me that has some items labelled gluten-free on the menu. I've been there a couple times, and usually get the steak and rice dish because it's safe. I'm afraid to eat the tortillas even though they claim they're gluten-free. The first time I went, I sat at the bar because it was packed, and the bartender claimed the chips were gluten-free. I did not eat them, because he didn't seem sure.

 

Next time I went I got an excellent server who explained that one dish, flautas, were fried in a shared fryer, and the chips were too.

 

Obviously there are some servers who are more educated than others.

 

I wonder - is there any sort of national organization that is attempting to educate restaurants about gluten and celiac disease?

 

I'm going to call the restaurant manager and try to educate them on the importance of only labeling items gluten free that are absolutely gluten free. After all, the new laws will apply to restaurants too. I don't want those labels to go away because they don't want to get in trouble with the FDA, but I want them to mean something. Maybe I should start my own organization!

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
