Living with celiac disease mandates strict gluten avoidance for health. Navigating social dining situations can be challenging, requiring open communication of dietary needs and setting boundaries to prioritize health. For instance, when a family member chose a non-compliant restaurant, the individual firmly declined but subsequently enjoyed dining at a safer venue. Additionally, a positive experience at a friend's birthday showcased the importance of informing restaurant staff about celiac to ensure safe meal preparation, as well as the necessity to communicate food preparation protocols to friends and family.
I'm sorry, but if you go to that restaurant, I cannot join you.
When dining out, I research and ask for information.
I sometimes should be more thorough, specifically telling them that clean cookware is needed.
I’m not afraid to stand up for myself.
