Live4Hiking posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was an in denial newbie about 1 yr ago.

A gluten-free newbie here - my friends and I usually go out to the latest 4 star restaurants every month. I have elected not to go as I dont know how to handle my new status. Do I ask the waitperson to go ask the chef for a list of gluten-free apps and entrees? Request the chef to make me a gluten-free entree? Pick the least likely to contain gluten and ask...
