                    Nervous about eating out with Coeliac Disease or an intolerance to gluten?

Always notify any staff immediately that you have ‘coeliac disease’, no...

Comment down below if you or a gluten free friend have experienced any  of these: 1.

Here we are… just hiding from all the gluten  “Would you like to see the avoiding gluten menu? Or maybe the low gluten menu, the ever so slightly sensitive to gluten menu, the dodging gluten menu, or the ghosting gluten menu?...”   Do I need to go on? NO.  Is it sooo much to ask for a ‘Certified Gluten Free’ menu?...
