Good Morning!
Today is the final post for Coeliac disease Awareness Week. It’s been great to have been able to share some of my knowledge in the area of Coeliac disease (CD) and to share my story. Today’s topic is eating out with CD.
Having CD can make people feel like it’s too hard to eat out. Whilst it can be difficult when dealing with hospitality staff that don’t understand CD or aren’t aware of issues such as cross contamination. It doesn’t mean you can’t eat out, it just means you need to get really good at explaining what you can’t eat, what you can eat and asking the right questions to determine if the restaurant or cafe is safe to eat at.
Coeliac Australia have some great tips on eating out, which you can find here.
There are also some great blogs that can help you to find suitable places to eat, here is a list of my favourites:
Often it’s much easier to go to a 100% gluten free restaurant or cafe, which isn’t possible for everyone but in Melbourne we are very lucky, here are some of my favourites:
Thanks for reading my blog over the past week, I will continue to post about Coeliac disease and other health related topics, so stay tuned!!
Thank you,
Erin.
