"I have celiac disease, which means I have dietary restrictions (no wheat) that my family is aware of because another niece also has celiac. The bakery is small and is located in a small rural community. I tried looking up their menu online without success. How do I handle this? Should I bring my own food to the celebration? I inquired and was told they will have a baked potato on the menu."
"Because the bakery doesn't have an online presence doesn't mean it doesn't have a telephone. Use it, tell them about your dietary needs and ask if you can be accommodated beyond a baked potato. You may be pleasantly surprised, especially since you aren't the only relative who has dietary restrictions. However, if the answer is no, bring something along you CAN eat and consume it near the end of your four-hour drive rather than suffer in silence."
A guest with celiac disease faces a bakery-catered celebration and is unsure whether to bring safe food or rely on the provided baked potato.
