ARCHIVED It's So Hard Sitting In A Restaurant Not Being Able To Eat
TiffersAnn replied to Green12's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I find that my friends and I eat out at Mexican restaurants more than anything. I always bring my own bag of chips (since they make their own chips in fryers that are contaminated) and just use my own bowl of salsa. I am not allergic to corn, so Mexican food is my salvation.

Thank goodness I enjoy to cook.
