I Finally Ate Out.

I just want to share my happiness - I am sure you can all relate! I have been gluten free for about six weeks, and have had so many ups and downs. Usually when I go anywhere, I bring tonnes of snacks to avoid eating out.

Well, my mom and I were spending a whole evening out and we decided to take a risk and eat at Carraba's (and as a treat, because we don't have one close to our house).

Guys, I didn't get sick. I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!! How enlightening, eh? DOesn't that make you just feel like 100000000$?

It's been so long since I haven't come home from a restaurant in pain and tears.

I'm glad that you didn't get sick! I've eaten out lots of times without getting sick; however, there have been a few bad experiences . Now I just know which places to avoid

I ate out three times last week (celebrated getting a job, date with my husband, and lunch with my friend...usually don't eat out that much though!) at Pf Chang's, Don Pablo's, and a local restaurant and I had great experiences all three times-and I'm ultra sensitive and will know it very shortly after eating any gluten. Makes you feel a little more normal and it always puts me in such a good mood! I probably won't eat out for a week though as with my luck, I'd get 'glutened' the next three times! I have yet to try Carraba's so I'm happy to hear that!

I wish I had PF Chang's around here. I would love quality Chinese food from a place with an actual educated menu and staff.

Any other recommendations of places?! Now I'm on a roll.
